Conductive compounds are growing in lighting, automotive and electronics applications


New event to focus on conductive thermoplastics


AMI is launching a new conference focusing on the development and application of electrically and thermally conductive compounds. Conductive Plastics 2015, which will take place on 29 June to 1 July in Düsseldorf, Germany, is supported by Compounding World and Injection World magazines. There is increasing interest


in the use of thermally conduc- tive and electrically conductive thermoplastic compounds to replace metals in a growing range of applications. These include LED lighting, automo- tive components, electronics manufacturing, electromag- netic shielding, and ATEX applications for reducing the risk of explosions. The Conductive Plastics


2015 conference will examine how to optimise the design and production of thermally conductive or electrically conductive plastics compo- nents. Speakers will address the influence of processing parameters on the properties of the finished part.

There will also be presenta- tions on the latest and emerging additive technologies for tailoring the thermal or electrical conductivity of plastics, and on formulating compounds to deliver the required balance of properties. In addition, the conference


will provide insights into the emerging market opportunities for conductive plastics and provide case studies based on leading edge applications. It will look at how the design and production flexibility provided by conductive plastics, combined with their competitive costs and light weight, are opening up exciting new opportunities. If you are interested in giving a presentation at the conference, please contact Chris Smith before 19 Decem- ber 2014: cs@amiplastics.com, +44 117 924 9442. If you are interested in participating in the event as an attendee, exhibitor or sponsor, please contact Kat Langner: kl@amiplastics.com, +44 117 314 8111.
