All submitted technical abstracts will undergo review by the PLASTEX 2026 Technical Committee.

Early submission is encouraged to allow committee members adequate time for a thorough evaluation.

Authors are highly encouraged to submit their abstracts online at www.plastexegypt.com/cfp before Monday 7 April 2025.

• Abstracts should include up to 500 words and be written in English. Any entry submitted in a different language will not be considered.
• You are welcome to include additional information, such as illustrations, graphs or tables, as attachments.
• Please do not submit the same abstract more than once. If you believe your abstract is relevant to multiple categories, please select one that is the best fit.
• One person can submit multiple abstracts within the same category or across multiple categories. However, please do not submit the same or slightly modified abstracts multiple times, as they will be removed.
• Prior to abstract submissions – management clearance must be obtained. Any issues concerning clearance should be outlined when the abstract is submitted.
• If you have presented this abstract previously, you can still submit but you will need to provide details of when and where it was presented before and look to include.

Your abstract should provide sufficient information for the Technical Committee’s review, including:

Description: Summarise the scope and focus of the work, such as manufacturing data, laboratory findings, original analysis, technological advancements, or innovative solutions.

Results and Conclusions: Highlight the main findings and key conclusions, indicating any new insights or data that will be shared. Specify how the conclusions differ from existing work on the topic, and whether information from field studies, manufacturing facilities, labs, or pilot projects is included.

Applications: Outline potential applications of the findings presented in the abstract.

Technical Contributions: Emphasise the relevance of the topic by detailing technical contributions or advancements that enhance knowledge within the plastics and materials industry.

There is a choice of 8 different technical categories, all of which have multiple technical descriptions. We encourage you to carefully review all options and select the category that best aligns with your abstracts. Please note that submitting the same abstract more than once is not allowed, as duplicates will be discarded.

Your abstracts should not use language that is commercial in tone in the title, text or attachments. The use of such terms will result in scrutiny by the Technical Committee and may result in exclusion of abstracts from the evaluation process.

• You will be notified in June 2025 if your abstract has been accepted. All authors who submitted their abstracts will receive an email stating if their abstracts have been accepted or not.
• Authors of accepted abstracts will be required to prepare PowerPoint presentations, detailed instructions on the preparation will be sent to all authors once acceptance to speak has been received.
• PLASTEX does not require authors to submit their technical papers (manuscripts), as we do not publish these.
• All the presenters will receive complimentary access to all four days of the Technical Conference sessions. However, any co-authors are required to purchase a pass if they would like to attend.
• The organiser assumes no obligation for expenses by authors for travel and accommodation to attend and speak at the Conference.
