The speaker line-up for Conductive Plastics 2017 includes (from left to right): Tugve Tosun Ulsa, Research Associate, Lux Research; Klaus Rathberger, Managing Director, Georg H Luh; Daniele Bonacchi, Development Scientist R&D Polymer Applications, Imerys Graphite and Carbon; Dr Bashar Diar Bakerly, Senior R&D Chemist, Huber Martinswerk; Michael Sommer, Business Development Manager Plastics, Gustav Grolman; Dr Dmitri Rousseaux, Compounds and Composites R&D Manager, Total Research & Technology; and Dr Elisa Conte, Technical Development Manager Polymer Additives EMEIA, AkzoNobel


Ned Bryant, Senior Product Development Engineer, RTP Company; Dr Michael Claes, Chief Technology Officer, Nanocyl; Christopher Höfs, Research Associate in Flat Film Extrusion IKV; Luis Roca, Head of Compounding, AIMPLAS; Thorsten Derieth, Head of Pre- Development, Centroplast Engineering Plastics; Mario Gillmann, Research Associate at ZBT; and Hans-Otto Schlothauer, Senior Business Manager Market Growth, SABIC


of the potential future applications for conductive plastics, which will be given by Tugve Tosun Ulsa, who is a Research Associate with Lux Research in the Netherlands. She will be followed by Klaus Rathberger, Managing Director of Georg H Luh in Germany, who will provide an introduction into the selection and applica- tion of carbon-based additives for thermal management in the electrical and electronics industry. The focus remains on thermal management for the


second session of the day. A review of the use of graphite in thermally conductive compounds will be presented by Daniele Bonacchi, Development Scientist R&D Polymer Applications at Imerys Graphite and Carbon in Switzerland. The use of thermally conductive alumina as a heat management additive will be discussed by Dr Bashar Diar Bakerly, Senior R&D Chemist with Huber Martinswerk in Germany. Then Michael Sommer, Business Development Manager Plastics at Gustav Grolman in Germany, will explain how boron nitride is being used in production of thermal management compounds. The conference will then move on to the topic of management of electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Considering ESD first, Toni Viheriaekoski, Owner of Finnish speciality consultancy firm Cascade Metrology, will discuss ESD attenuation of electrically conductive carbon black filled compounds. Then Dr Dmitri Rousseaux, Compounds and Composites R&D Manager at Total Research &

Technology in Belgium, will discuss the application of carbon nanotube reinforced compounds in industrial ATEX applications. Processing is a critical factor in achieving optimal


results from a conductive polymer formulation. The third session of this year’s conference will be opened by Dr Elisa Conte, Technical Development Manager Polymer Additives EMEIA at AkzoNobel in the Nether- lands, who will discuss how to formulate superconduc- tive carbon black compounds to achieve desired conductivity at the lowest addition levels. Ned Bryant, Senior Product Development Engineer at RTP Company in the US, will take the theme further with an example of optimisation of an automotive EMI compound. The first day of the conference will be brought to a close by Michael Schaefer, Product Specialist with Celanese Service in Germany, who will present a case study of an application for a thermally conductive toughened PA. He will discuss CFD simulation, application testing and part design issues. Day two of the Conductive Plastics conference is


application oriented and begins with a review of commercial and potential applications for electrically conductive polymer compounds. This will be kicked off by Dr Michael Claes, Chief Technology Officer at Nanocyl in Belgium, who will review some commercial mass-market applications for multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) additives.
