CONDUCTIVE PLASTICS USA 2018 | EVENT PREVIEW
EMI and ESD The second day of the conference will commence with a review of some of the latest developments in the area of EMI (electromagnetic interference) and ESD management (electrostatic discharge). Elijah Grant, Product Development Engineer at RTP Company in the US, will open the session with some guidance on how to select a thermoplastic material for use in hazardous and ATEX environ- ments. Dr Dimitri Rousseaux, Composites and Compounds R&D Manger at Total Research & Technology in Belgium, will discuss the develop- ment and application of carbon nanotube modified compounds in ATEX and ESD applications. And Kari Alha, R&D Director at Premix in Finland, will speak about electrostatic discharge attenuation in electrically conductive carbon black loaded compounds.
Achieving high levels of electrical and thermal conductivity in plastics can require working with high filler loadings and very often needs careful dispersion and handling of additives. The confer- ence will consider how this can be achieved in compound preparation. Dr Paul Andersen, Process Engineering Consultant at Coperion in the US, will explain some of the difficulties that produc- ers of conductive plastics may face and detail some of the techniques that can be applied in twin screw compounding to overcome them. Then Slayton Altenburg, Application Specialist at Technical Process & Engineering (TPEI) will discuss com- pounding of conductive masterbatches using continuous mixer technology. The final session of Conductive Plastics is focused on the challenges of measuring thermal

conductivity. Justin Wynn, Application Engineer Thermophysical Properties at TA Instruments-Wa- ters in the US, will detail the use of steady-state and flash diffusivity measurement techniques to measure out-of-plane and in-plane thermal conduc- tivity. Then Alex Makitka, Applications Manager at Linseis in the US, will bring the conference to a close with an explanation of the use of the transient hot bridge (THB) technique for high speed meas- urement of thermal conductivity in polymer pads and parts.
