The VI International Conference on "Times of Polymers (TOP) and Composites" was held on June 2012 (Ischia-Italy). This was the fourth of a series of biennial workshops on "polymers timescales" resulting from a joint initiative of the Second University of Naples-SUN and the University of Naples Federico II. Scientists from chemistry to physics to engineering areas formed a homogeneous community as the contributions, even if spanning on very different topics, subtend the concept of timescale of polymer based materials.
