Greeting

Dear all,

Rubber is a magic elastomeric material that meets the tough requirement of industry. But rubber was considered as a non-disposable and non-recyclable material. World is moving forward to the sustainable society and it is our challenge to change the image of rubber as a green polymers and maintain its magic elastomeric properties to achieve the next challenge of new industry trends.I believe that AREF-IC 2024 conference at Phang-nga on February 27th- March 1st 2024 will be an international rubber conference with the solutions for global challenge in technology and social sustainability.The venue of AREF-IC 2024, Phang-nga, is one of the most beautiful beach areas in Thailand. Along with the meeting, the participants will enjoy sea, sand, and sun including delicious menu served during the conference. Several places, Samet Nangshe, James bond Island, etc., are the places that Phang-nga visitors can't miss.On behalf of AREF-IC 2024 's Chair, I'd like to welcomeall rubber community to join the confernence and make it be a successful meeting.I'd like to express my appreciation in advance and look forward to seeing all of you this coming Fabruary

Truly yours,
