LFTs 2017 | event preview
Long Fibre Thermoplastics 2017 takes place at the Maritim Hotel in Germany on 7-8 November 2017. Organised by Applied Market Information (publisher of Compounding World and Injection World magazines and author of the Long Fibre Polypropylene Compounds Global Market Report), the brand new two-day international conference presents an opportunity to gain an up-to-the-minute view of the LFTs market. Expert speakers will cover key market trends and growth opportunities, explore the latest LFT materials and applications in the automotive and
loadings and different resin matrix options. The final session of the day will focus on some
examples where LFT performance has been optimised to meet specific performance demands. Jörg Garlinsky, Sales Manager Additives for Thermoplastics at BYK-Chemie in Germany, will detail how high perfor- mance coupling agents for LFTs can achieve low VOC emissions and improved mechanical performance through higher grafting levels. Sergio Moriano, Business Manager Composites, EMEA and India at Poly- One in Luxembourg, will shed light on the optimisation of design to realise the full benefit of LFTs. And Wolfgang Stockreiter, Senior Scientist at Borealis Polyolefine in Austria, will close the day with a discus- sion of fibre length and its critical importance in producing high performance LFT parts.
Beyond automotive Day two of Long-Fibre Thermoplastics 2017 presents an opportunity to learn about some applications of LFTs outside the automotive sector. The day will be opened by Karl Schnetzinger, CEO of Advanced Polymer Compounds in Austria, who will share the results of a collaborative project to develop centrifugal pump components using long-fibre thermoplastics based on polyamides. He will be followed by Maarten Labordus, R&D Manager at KVE Composite Structures in the Netherlands, who will explain some new developments in high-end LFT processing for aerospace applications. The conference will then turn to processing improve-
ments. Seung-Chan Ryu, Principal Researcher at Samyang Corporation in Korea, will discuss thermal conductivity and EMI-shielding behaviour of PPS-based long-carbon-fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites. Maiko Ersch, a member of scientific staff at the Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) in Industry and the Skilled Crafts at RWTH Aachen University in Germany, will detail some new simulation methods for production of LFTs.

Germany, will explain the influence of different mixing concepts on fibre distribution, fibre length and mechan- ical properties in single-screw direct processingof LFTs. And the session will be closed by Dr Ricardo Hernandez Ruiz de Olano, Researcher at Leartiker in Spain, who will report the results of some design-of-experiments research on injection moulding of LFTs. The final session of the conference will discuss
alternative routes for PFT production. Manuel Woehrle, the Senior Sales Manager Lightweight at Arburg in Germany, will open the session with an explanation of the performance and commercial benefits of using its inline LFT compounding process on an injection moulding machine. Karin Luxem, Area Sales Manager Asia Pacific, at ProTec Polymer Processing in Germany, will look at how LFT-pultrusion lines can be optimised to improve impregnation and lift productivity with a range of fibres, polymers and loadings. And the conference will be brought to a close by Dr. Oliver Eitel, Business Segment Manager at Coperion in Germany, with a look at novel LFT compound production on a special applications line.
