Spring Technical Meeting symposium to highlight elastomer nanocomposites
Akron, OH – The Rubber Division ACS Spring Technical Meeting Symposium will highlight “Reinforcement Effects in Elastomer Nanocomposites: Experimental & Modeling Insights.” This symposium is organized and chaired by Chris Robertson, Principal Consultant at Polymer Technology Services LLC, this symposium explores the fundamental mechanisms governing reinforcement, dissipation and failure in nanoparticle-filled elastomers across strain, temperature and deformation regimes. Combining experiments, scattering, rheology and molecular simulations, the presentations highlight intrinsic performance tradeoffs and offer design principles for advanced rubber and tire materials.
Featured Speakers include:
Chris Robertson, Polymer Technology Services LLC
David Simmons, University of South Florida
Harshad Bhapkar, University of South Florida
Lewis Tunnicliffe, Birla Carbon
Shiwang Cheng, Michigan State University
The Meeting will be held April 14-16 in Warrensville Heights, OH. Registration prices increase March 1, so register now and beat the increase.
