EVENT PREVIEW | CONDUCTIVE PLASTICS 2019
Development Manager at Procotex in Belgium, will explore the use of recycled carbon fibre in formula- tion of sustainable conductive polymer compounds. Processing is one of the big challenges in the
realisation of conductive plastics materials. Marco Grundler, Group Leader Compound Technology at the ZBT fuel cell research centre in Germany, will speak about some of the challenges in processing highly filled thermally conductive compounds. Michael Schaefer, Program Specialist Powertrain at Celanese Services in Germany, will explore the effect of part design and part thickness on achieved conductivity. And Luca Posca, Technical Assistance and Marketing Director at LATI in Italy, will explain how moulding parameters can influ- ence the performance of thermally conductive plastic compounds. The relationship between polymer blend morphology and manufacturing process on thermal and electrical properties of compounds containing carbon black and zinc oxide will be detailed by Dr Frank Schoenberger, Group Manager Functional Polymers at Fraunhofer LBF in Germany. And Dr Zoltan Gombos and Dr Luke Savage, Research Fellow and Senior Research Fellow respectively at the University of Exeter in the UK, will speak about how 3D fibre networks can improve thermal conductivity in polymer compos- ite structures. The first day of the conference will be closed with a panel discussion session. The second day of Conductive Plastics 2019 opens with a look at additives for enhancing thermal conductivity of electrically insulating polymers. Katsuhiro Takashi, R&D Department at Kyowa
Expert speakers at Conductive Plastics 2019 include (from top) Imerys Graphite and Carbon R&D Leader Conductive Polymers Jérôme Crépin- Leblond, LATI Technical Assistance and Marketing Director Luca Posca, Fraunhofer LBF Group Manager Functional Polymers Dr Frank Schoen- berger, Domo Engineering Plastics R&D Manager Leonoardo Compera- tore, and BASF Polyurethanes Key Account Sales Manager Anja Oltmanns
Chemical Industry in Japan, will explain how magnesium hydroxide can be used to enhance thermal conductivity. Then Péter Sebö, Head of Marketing and Market Development at Quarzwerke in Germany, will examine the use of custom inorgan- ic fillers to create thermally conductive compounds. The focus will then turn to some conductive novelties. Jean-Michel Poncelet, Business Devel- opment Manager at Cabot Plastics in Belgium, will explore opportunities to utilise graphenes and other nano-structures in conductive plastics applications. Leonoardo Comperatore, R&D Manager at Domo Engineering Plastics in Germany, will look at formulation of carbon filled polyamides with an optimised ecological profile. And Dr Zhen Liu, Head of Thermoplastic Unit at CarbonX in the Netherlands, will detail how its nano carbon materials can be used to create lightweight electromagnetic shielding materials. Static dissipation is one of the longest estab- lished conductive polymer applications. Anja Oltmanns, Key Account Sales Manager at BASF Polyurethanes in Germany, will discuss develop- ment of anti-static masterbatches based on TPUs. She will review their performance, processing and application. Dr Clio Cocquet, Market Development Manager Antistatic, Breathable and Industrial Applications at Arkema in France, will detail the application of its bio-based additive to provide permanent anti-static performance. The final session of the conference will address the challenging area of thermal conductivity measurement. Jarett Nickerson, Commercial Director at C-Therm Technologies in Canada, will explore the selection of test methods for characteris- ing thermally conductive compounds and compare the results obtained. Then Jochen Gaiser, a PhD Student at the University of Applied Sciences Karlsruhe in Germany, will present some research into measurement and methods for simulation of thermal behaviour in conductive plastics.
