POLYMER TESTING & ANALYSIS US 2018 | EVENT PREVIEW
Scientist & Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, Advanced Technology Group at Greene, Tweed & Co in the US. Dr Ilias Ali, Research Engineer, Printpack in the US, closes the session by focusing on advanced characterization tools and techniques for high barrier PP/PS multilayer food packaging materials. The fourth and final session of the day features
Professor Joao Maia from Case Western Reserve University in the US who talks about new develop- ments in real-time on-line rheological and chemical characterisation in extrusion-based processes. Dr Bhattacharya from Greene, Tweed & Co. again takes to the podium to focus on the rheology of high temperature elastomers. To close the day Tim Haake, General Manager at Goettfert in the US discusses how to get the most from your rheom- eters and other measurement instruments. To round off the day’s proceedings, a network-
ing drinks reception is held in the exhibition area, where delegates and speakers debate the confer- ence so far and attendees have the opportunity to network with industry peers.
Demanding applications Day two of Polymer Testing & Analysis US 2018 is opened by Dr Liang Fang, Principal Scientist at West Pharmaceutical Services in the US, who looks to predict the stress cracking of polymers. A paper on developments in the reliable measurement of the weld strength in thermoplastics is then delivered by Ken Holt, Senior Applications Engineer at Dukane in the
US.Matt McGreer, Senior Product Manager at Atlas Material Testing Technology in the US, then questions whether the laboratory weathering testing you’re doing is wrong. After the morning refreshment break and networking session, Jiraporn Nomai, Assistant Researcher at Chair of Composite Engineering (CCe) at the Technische Universität Kaiser- slautern (TUK) in Germany, discusses the efficient analysis and determination of environmental stress cracking of polymers in different environments. This paper is co-authored by Professor Alois Schlarb, Chair of Composite Engineering (CCe) at

The third and final session of the day features Dr Nikhil Gupta, Associate Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at New York University, Tandon School of Engineering in the US, who debates the testing of polymers across time, temperature and strain rates. Bill Tobin, Senior Weathering and Corrosion Technical Marketing Specialist at Q-Lab Corporation in the US, then looks to understand the relationship between chamber set points and specimen temperatures during accelerated weathering. A focus on new concepts in powder rheology testing is then presented by Mark Lavach, Manager, Analytical and Systems Research, Arkema in the US. Closing the conference will be Dr Mark Pothecary, Separa- tions Product Manager – Americas at Malvern Panalytical in the US, with a paper on correlating early and late stage polymer testing with advanced GPC and rheological measurements.
