Given that cellulose is the world's most abundant natural polymer, research on it is critical for addressing global sustainability challenges. The ISCRM 2026 will focus on the latest scientific and technical advancements in cellulose and renewable materials, drawing together universities, research centers, technological institutions, companies, and individuals passionate about these subjects. It will showcase the most recent progress and achievements in cellulose science and technology, providing an invaluable platform for scientific and technical professionals in related fields to connect. The organizing committee cordially invites esteemed and proactive scientists, engineers, and students engaged in the realm of cellulose and renewable materials to participate in this symposium, contributing to enriching the discourse through face-to-face scholarly interactions.
A. Structure, modelling, and analytics of cellulose-based materials
B. Processing, application, and function of cellulose-based materials
C. Innovative cross-application of biomass in traditional and emerging industries (textile, food, etc.)
D. Cellulose and paper-based materials for energy and environmental applications)
E. Advances in biorefinery strategies and emerging applications of lignin
F. Development and utilization of other biomass resources
G. The future of Cellulose-based materials: nanoparticles, film, and hydrogel, etc
H: Forum of Young Scientists (Sponsored by Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts)
• Submitting author: the person who submits the abstract.
• Presenting author: the person who will physically present the abstract at the conference and who is marked as the presenter in the program.
Abstracts must be submitted online through ‘Abstract Submission’ on the Registration Page or this page using the Abstract Template.
Note: The submitting author will be informed by e-mail about the acceptance of the abstract before August 31, 2026.
To encourage and support early-career scientists in fully presenting their research achievements at ISCRM2026, Carbohydrate Polymers and Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts (JBB) will each open a Virtual Special Issue (VSI) for ISCRM 2026. Manuscripts accepted through these VSIs will be published as regular journal articles and indexed in SCI as usual.
The JBB VSI is now accepting submissions. Submissions to the Carbohydrate Polymers VSI will open immediately after the conference closes. Interested authors, including but not limited to early-career scientists, are welcome to submit their full-length manuscripts through the corresponding journal's submission system. Please indicate in the cover letter that the manuscript is being submitted in connection with ISCRM2026. Conference-related submissions will be prioritized for peer review; all manuscripts will undergo the journals' standard peer-review process, and acceptance will be based on scientific merit.
