POLYMER TESTING WORLD EXPO | EVENT PREVIEW
New developments in polymer analysis are being covered in presentations from leading suppliers of laboratory equipment. Dr Aniket, Principal Product Line Leader at PerkinElmer will focus on evolved gas analysis from polymeric materials using hyphenated instrumentation technology. Innovations in measurement and data analysis of DSC and TGA instruments will be covered in a talk by Yanxi Zhang, Technical Sales Support at Netzsch. Completing the analysis sessions, Alicia Stell,
Lead R&D Scientist in the molecular sample preparation division of CEM, will provide a practi- cal look at ways to find faster and more effective methods for analysing polymers and compounds. There are also some interesting talks lined up on the polymer testing front. Joao Maia, Professor of Macromolecular Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve University will speak about online rheological and chemical testing of poly- mers during extrusion and compounding. Mean- while, the hot subject of advanced testing solutions for recycled plastics will be addressed by Paula McDaniel, Business Development Director at Intertek Allentown. McDaniel will also present a talk during the expo covering impurity identification strategies. This is one of three separate presentations looking at the critically important subject of quality control. Alex Nguyen, Business Development Engineer at Sikora, will look at automated lab inspection and analysis of plastics pellets, while Gilad Roter, VP for Business Development at Inspect Technologies, will discuss the implementation of an innovative solution for the inline inspection and sorting of pellets. Jason Poulton, Senior Technical Advisor at the
Akron Rubber Development Laboratory, will give a presentation on failure analysis of polymers. Other presentations on the long-term performance of plastics will focus on weatherability. Bill Tobin, Senior Technical Marketing Specialist at Q-Lab will cover UVC testing of materials, while Doug Vermillion, Director of Eye Applied Optix, will introduce the super UV metal halide chamber, which he says can lead to “game-changing reduc- tions in weathering test times”.
