Conductive Plastics 2015 | event preview
Exploring potential for conductive plastics
Whether it is wearable smart technology, LED lighting, or intelligent automotive components, the penetration of electronics into an ever-growing range of consumer and industrial products is driving considerable interest in polymers formulated to provide enhanced thermal and electrical conductivity. The fi rst Conductive Plastics conference, organised by Applied Market Information (AMI) and supported by Compounding World and sister magazine Injection World, provides a forum for plastics users and processors to explore the latest develop- ments in this area and to understand the critical design and processing challenges. Taking place from 29 June to 1 July 2015 in Dussel- dorf, Germany, Conductive Plastics 2015 brings together a line-up of 19 expert speakers who will share their specifi c expertise in formulating and processing of polymer materials offering enhanced thermal and/or electrical conductivity. Presentations will look at the latest and emerging additives for tailoring thermal and electrical performance, as well as exploring the critical infl uence of processing on fi nal part properties. The conference opens with a presentation by Lux
Research Analyst Pallavi Madakasira, who will identify some of the key emerging markets for electrically and thermally conductive plastics. US-headquartered Lux Research is a recognised authority on predicting future

trends in areas as diverse as energy electronics and sensors through to wearable electronics and intelligent buildings. Germany-based Grafe Polymer Technik R&D Manager Dr J Carlos Caro will then discuss some of the key trends and developments in conductive polymers. The focus then turns to processing and compounding
issues. Belgium-based Imerys Graphite and Carbon Product Manager for Carbon Black for Polymers Christine Van Bellingen will present an analysis of the key compounding variables that infl uence the perfor- mance of carbon black fi lled conductive plastics. Processing infl uences will be explored further by Kari Alha, R&D Director at Finland-based Premix, who will explain the infl uence of injection moulding and
