]January 24 – Webinar: Strength & Endurance in Rubber
This webinar is designed for industry professionals wanting an “on-ramp” to the vast subject of managing the strength and durability of elastomeric materials and products. A technical background is helpful, but not required. It will cover what failure really costs, factors that limit rubber’s strength and endurance and what can be done to avoid failure. Instructor: Dr. William V. Mars, P.E.
January 30 – Course: Introduction to Compounding, Mixing & Testing
This course will present an overview of compounding elastomers. Topics include elastomers, fillers, oils/plasticizers and curing agents. Also discussed will be the mixing and testing of elastomer compounds and how to select an elastomer for a given application. Instructor: William Stahl
Back by Popular Demand! UMass Lowell’s Graduate Certificate in Elastomeric Materials
This graduate certificate prepares individuals and organizations to develop expertise in manufacturing rubber materials. Participants, who must have a bachelor’s in engineering or science, gain advanced knowledge of plastics materials through four 3-credit courses that can be completed online or on campus.
January 16 – May 4: Processing with Elastomers
