SUMMARY:Rubber Extrusion Technology
DESCRIPTION:April 30 – Rubber Extrusion Technology (in-person only at our Spring Technical Meeting in Columbus\, OH) \nThis course was designed for rubber industry employees who currently extrude rubber and wish to expand their knowledge of the process or those wishing to gain insights into these processes and how they can be used. Course Overview: The course will offer an overview of the variety of commercially viable rubber extrusion processes and examine their strengths and weaknesses. Next\, we will go into a more in depth look at the three most common rubber extrusion processes i.e. Liquid Curing Media (LCM)\, better known as the Salt Bath process\, Hot Air Vulcanization (HAV) and Microwave/Hot Air Vulcanization. The emphasis will be on practical knowledge that can be utilized in production. In all areas\, specific safety concerns will be highlighted and addressed.

SUMMARY:Course: Thermoplastic & Functional Elastomers
DESCRIPTION:With growing global concern regarding the increasing level of solid waste due to polymeric materials and interest in material recycling\, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) provide an attractive alternative to conventional elastomers. This course will introduce participants to different types and contemporary uses of TPEs\, in addition to the molecular design\, synthesis and characteristics of TPEs derived from block copolymers. Thermodynamic considerations regarding network formation and bridging metrics in TPEs will be addressed by experimental observations\, theoretical predictions and computer simulations. Blends of TPEs and their uses in conventional and emerging applications will be described\, as will the chemical functionalization of TPEs for specialized technologies (e.g.\, designer additives\, organic photovoltaics\, soft actuators\, separation membranes and antimicrobial materials).

SUMMARY:Elastomer World Summits 2023
DESCRIPTION:Both Thermoplastic Elastomers and Silicone Elastomers World Summit bring together manufacturers\, processors\, end-users\, designers and researchers for a summit-style technical discussion of silicone and TPE elastomer materials\, global markets\, processing advancements and novel applications. Taking place on 28-29th November 2023\, these co-located events will provide exclusive insights on the market. \nSilicone Elastomers World Summit: \nWith speakers from distinguished companies like EDF\, Honeywell Aerospace\, Dow Silicones\, Turtle Petals\, Dow Silicones and more\, the agenda is bursting with insights to help shape this year’s summit to be the best one to date. \nThe 2023 conference will have a significant focus on innovation. Exploring new technologies and insights from thermal management solutions in automotive to material challenges in Aerospace. We shall also be exploring the EU regulatory landscape and how these are impacting current and future applications. You will also have the chance to hear from research centres of excellence and discover the latest technology and processing developments. \nTPE: \nCompanies presenting at TPE include Renault Group\, Biovox\, Decathlon\, Innventik\, Momentive Performance Materials and Avient. \nThe TPE industry is going through a transition due to raw material availability/ price increases. The transition puts a focus on reviewing TPE life cycles and reducing the amount of waste produced. The two largest areas of interest are still the automotive and medical sectors. In terms of innovation\, we are seeing growing developments across mobility and electric vehicles. There is also the growth of new applications and need for new materials to withstand higher temperatures\, 800v\, in the car market and the energy market. Cabling companies are looking at materials that can withstand higher temperatures and are looking at these materials. Innovations in the biopharma and healthcare industries will focus on sustainability and materials. \n  \nAbout Smithers  \nSmithers is a global leader in rubber\, plastics and polymer testing\, consulting services\, conferences\, training\, publications and market reports\, focused mainly on the medical\, industrial\, automotive and consumer industries.
