SUMMARY:TOPCON 2022 - TPEs Unmasked
DESCRIPTION:Click here for registration\, sponsorship\, lodging\, etc. \nWhether they are the soft covering on your pen or on the dashboard of your car\, medical tubing and IV bags\, building products\, sportswear\, appliances or used in 3-D printing\, a broad class of materials known as Thermoplastic Elastomers or TPEs have found numerous applications in everyday life. Projections are that their use will continue to grow. \nThe term “Thermoplastic Elastomers” applies to a large family of plastic materials that behave like conventional vulcanized rubber compounds yet can be processed like thermoplastics by means of\nmelt processes such as extrusion\, injection molding or blow molding. \nThe Akron Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers\, along with the TPE Technical Interest Group of the SPE\, will be hosting a conference this fall that highlights these unique polymeric materials. A full day primer on TPE basics\, taught by industry experts\, will take place as a prequel to the main conference. \nThis conference will focus on linking the needs of today with the technology of the future. Focused segments on TPE include: Current trends in Markets and Technology; Material innovation and New \nApplication Development; Process innovation (Compounding\, Extrusion\, Molding\, 3D Printing); Healthcare and Medical; Automotive and Transportation; Sustainability \nThere will be two exciting keynote addresses. Dr. Robert Savinell\, distinguished professor and internationally recognized scholar from Case Western\, will be sharing his experience in the highly\nrelevant area of energy storage and Dr. Krishna Venkataswamy\, a long-time industry professional who is currently the President and CEO of Innovation Development Insights\, will share his insights\non the history and future of TPEs. \nThere will be exhibitor booths and two evening networking socials.
