    Old-basics still apply to increase the use of Biopolymers

    Some old basics still apply to the latest innovations: this may sound like a paradoxical sentence for some of us; but overall this is what applies to the latest areas of the polymer industry. How can we come to such a conclusion? Well, when looking at the below June 2010 Click’N Vote results we see the SpecialChem4Polymers community raised several old basics when being asked on...

    Fiber/Matrix Interface in Composite Materials

    Interfaces are among the most important yet least understood components of a composite material. In particular, there is a lack of understanding of processes occurring at the atomic level of interfaces, and how those processes influence the global...

    Reducing the Water Footprint of Plastics Industry - Best Available Techniques

    The water consumption for 1 tonne of a product highly depends on the raw material type, the end part, the used processes and the recycling technology. Data varies from 1 m3 to hundreds and even some thousands depending on the...

    Water Footprint: The Next Challenge for the Plastics Industry

    The earth is 80% covered by water that follows a continuous cycle of evaporation, precipitation, runoff and infiltration. This last step is the slowest but the most interesting for water conservation. Salt water is the most abundant but unsuitable...

    Biobased polymers - trends and drivers within the plastics industry!

    Do you see yourself being a global player in the bio-based plastics market in the coming years?
     
    We are seeking the opinion from the entire plastic value chain to better understand:
    • What will be the first markets to use bio-based polymers in the next 5-10 years?
    • What are the major drivers behind the replacement of commodity and engineering plastics with bio-based plastics?

    Give your opinion and we will share the main findings of our study!

    Optimizing Reactive Compounding of TPEs and TPVs

    Date: August 31st, 2010 - Time: 10 a.m. EST
    Presenter: Ashok Adur (SpecialChem Expert)

    Course objectives:

    Help you develop optimal TPE & TPV with reactive compounding in order to get the most out of your selected thermoset and thermoplastic phases.

    The course will provide practical guidance to achieve optimal phase inversion and crosslinking and will then consider how to meet more complex requirements (oil-resistant, adhesion to metal, greening TPEs...).

    Reasons to attend this online course:

    - Save time reaching your requirements (hardness, tensile strength, compression...) by wisely adjusting reactive compounding parameters
    - Gain control over phase inversion and crosslinking by learning about formulation and processing tips: twin screw design, catalysts...
    - Make production of TPE and TPV easier by finding ways to efficiently extend the processing window
    - Integrate faster new constraints (halogen-free, low COF, using recycled tire rubber...) in your future developments with practical case studies
    - Benefit from customized advice on your own projects by interacting with Ashok Adur, expert in optimizing TPE & TPV performance / cost ratio
