CONFERENCE PREVIEW | POLYMER TESTING & ANALYSIS


centre in Spain, who will present a paper covering the evaluation of plastics and air quality in the passenger compartment of automotive vehicles. Then Christoph Wiedmer, Research Associate at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV in Germany, will discuss the challenge of identifying and characterising odour-active substances in polymer materials. The conference will then move on to discuss testing procedures for assessing the processability of plastics. Johannes Lorenz, Sales Manager OEM and Key Account at Dynisco Europe in Germany, will start the session by exploring accurate determi- nation of the melt flow rate of plastic materials in an extrusion system using online rheometry. Then Nico Laufer, CEO of the Institute for Polymer Technologies in Germany, will detail the effects of volume fraction, size and geometry of different fillers on interparticle interactions in PP melts.


Polymer ageing The final session of the first day of the conference will cover polymer ageing and will be kicked off by Dr Emmanuelle Brendlé, Senior Scientific Project Manager at Intertek (Schweiz) in Switzerland, who will provide a comprehensive analytical view on aged polymers. Then Roland Valk, Consultant Materials at Kiwa Technology in The Netherlands, will detail an evaluation of the long-term strength of polyethylene using the strain hardening test. And the formal part of the day will end with a talk by Dr Jiří Sadílek, Senior Researcher at Unipetrol RPA – Poly- mer Institute Brno in the Czech Republic, who will discuss the content of ethylene in PP-RC materials with a focus on properties versus the time to rupture.


Packaging issues Day two of Polymer Testing & Analysis 2018 opens with a presentation from David Eaves, Chemical Analysis & Regulatory Consultant at ITS Testing Services in the UK, who will look at testing for the presence of non-intentionally added substances


(NIAS) in plastics materials and articles intended to contact food. He will be followed by Martina Lindner, Researcher in Materials Development at Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV in Germany, who will explore techniques for thickness determination of evapo- rated aluminium coatings on polymer web materials. Then Elena Domínguez Solera, a Researcher in the Sustainability and Industrial Recovery Department at AIMPLAS in Spain, will present a study of the degree and disintegration rate of biodegradable polymers in different environmental conditions.


Exploring failure The second session of the day will examine new developments in failure testing. The first presentation will analyse systematic failure of glass fibre reinforced isolation sleeves and will be given by Sina van de Kamp, Project Engineer, Microscopy at the Institut Für Kunststoffverarbeitung (IKV) in Germany. Next, Dr Michael Soll, EU Business Development Man- ager at Frontier Laboratories in Germany, will speak about the use of pyrolysis GC-MS for identification and damage analysis of rubber samples. The final session of the conference will address


the latest polymer testing options for demanding applications. Prof Alois Schlarb, Chair of Composite Engineering (CCe) at the Technische Universität Kaiserslautern (TUK) in Germany, will discuss the efficient analysis and determination of environmental stress cracking of polymers in different environments. And Dr Marysilvia Ferreira da Costa, Professor at Coppe / Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, will bring the conference to a close with an examination of stress-relaxation behaviour of poly(vinilidene fluoride).


Expert speakers at Polymer Testing & Analysis Europe include – top to bottom: Dr Andreas Balster from Kunststoff-Institut Lüdenscheid, Dirk Wissmann from Spectro Analytical Instruments, Christoph Wiedmer from the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV, and AIMPLAS researchers Dr Nuria García Batista and Elena Domínguez Solera
