CONDUCTIVE PL ASTICS 2O15
29 June - 1 July 2015, Hotel Nikko Düsseldorf, Germany
AMI is pleased to announce its first Conductive Plastics conference, a brand new event that will examine the development, processing and application of electrically and thermally conductive thermoplastics. This high level international event takes place from the 29th June to the 1st July 2015 at the Hotel Nikko in Düsseldorf, Germany, and will bring together OEMs, engineering designers, processors, compounders and additive producers.
Interest in the use of thermally conductive and electrically conductive thermoplastic compounds to replace metals and ceramics is growing fast across a wide and varied range of demanding applications. These include LED lighting, automotive components, electronics manufacturing, electromagnetic shielding and ATEX applications for reducing the risk of explosion.
However, developing electrically and thermally conductive
components is not straightforward. Conductive Plastics 2015 will look at the wide range of additive technologies available to developers of conductive plastic compounds. Expert presentations will examine how to optimise the design and production of electrically and thermally conductive plastics components, and will address the critical influence of processing parameters on the properties of finished parts.
In addition, the conference will provide insight into existing and emerging market opportunities for conductive plastics. In particular, speakers will look at how the design and production flexibility provided by conductive plastics, combined with competitive cost and light weight, are can open up exciting new opportunities for compounders, processors, designers and OEMs.
Conductive Plastics 2015 will provide a unique learning and networking environment where all involved in the development of electrically and thermally conductive plastics, and those designing and manufacturing conductive components, can explore the very latest technology options and identify new opportunities and applications.
EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION OFFER Register before 15th May 2015 and pay €890* saving €100* on the full price of €990*. There are additional discounts for group bookings. The registration fee includes attendance at all conference sessions, the Welcome Cocktail Reception, lunch and refreshment breaks on both days and a set of conference proceedings.
