EVENT PREVIEW | CONDUCTIVE PLASTICS USA 2018


novel set of performance characteristics. The conference will be opened by Chris Smith,


Editor-in-Chief at AMI Magazines and Editor of Compounding World, who will present a brief introduction to conductive plastics, highlighting some of the key areas of application today and for the future. Then Dr Michael Claes, Chief Technol- ogy Officer and Global Strategic Account Manager at Nanocyl in Belgium, will open the event’s technical programme with a presentation looking at examples of how and where multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are being used to improve electrical conductivity.


Switching the focus to the future, Dr Xiao


Zhong, Analyst at Lux Research in the US, will discuss 3D printing of electrically conductive plastics, reviewing market opportunities, industry strategies and some of the likely enabling tech- nologies. Luigi Alzati, Market Leader Americas at Imerys Graphite & Carbon in the US, will discuss carbon black-based solutions for production of conductive electronic packaging. And Jukka Hillberg, Research and Technology Manager at Croda in Finland, will explain the functioning and application of inherently dissipative polymers for electrical modification (Croda recently acquired the IonPhasE IDP business).


Thermal options The conference will then move over to thermal conductivity modification, beginning with two examples of formulated compounds. Terry Davis, Principal Engineer/FTR Manager at Covestro in the US will present a review of some thermally conduc- tive polycarbonate polymer grades developed for applications in LED lighting. Darin Grinsteinner,


Product Developer at Celanese in the US, will follow that with a discussion of how the thermal and impact performance of polymer compounds can be improved for automotive heat sink applications. Additives for thermal conductivity enhancement


are next on the agenda with Péter Sebö, Head of Marketing and Development at Quarzwerke in Germany, sharing some of the latest developments in thermally conductive fillers for development of white and coloured compounds. He will be followed by Kerry Smith, Product Manager Americas with Nabaltec in the US, who will look at how mineral flame retardants and conductive fillers can be combined to achieve fire retardant ther- mally conductive compounds. Dr Martijn Mies, Research and Development Manager at Huber Engineered Materials in the US will end the session with an examination of the use of alumini- um oxides to enhance thermal conductivity in polyamides. The final session of the first day of Conductive Plastics turns the spotlight onto some of the emerging additive technologies. Dr Daniel Stolyarov, President of Graphene 3D Lab in the US, will open with a discussion of the use of graphene nanoplatelets in high performance electrically conductive polymer composites. Dr Eugeniy Ilin, Head of the Department of Polymer Materials and Vice President at OCSiAl in Russia, will explain how single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can be used to enhance conductivity and to reinforce thermoplastic compounds. And Dr Edward Chan, Vice President at Global Graphene Group will detail how graphene can improve the thermal properties of thermoplastic and thermoset polymers.
