|---|---|
| Description: | Regarded by many as Europe's premier international conference for the thermoplastic elastomer industry, this conference was an ideal opportunity to hear about the latest developments from a range of exciting speakers from leading TPE producers to academics. These proceeding will interest material suppliers, processors and manufacturers of finished and semi-finished products/components as well as manufacturers considering TPEs as a replacement for vulcanised rubber. Indeed, anyone with an interest in TPEs wishing to gain a better understanding of the subject.These proceedings include significant presentations on current issues confronting the industry such as use of biomaterials in TPEs and PVC replacement. A specific session was scheduled to help those struggling with the impact of current legislation on TPEs. As an example of the potential for continuous development, which is a characteristic of TPEs, this year's conference featured a session on new developments in one of the oldest TPEs - styrene block co-polymers. Other areas covered include new materials such as foams and new building blocks for TPUs. |
