Advanced Filled Plastics

If you have already taken the foundation course or if you are already familiar with filled plastics then this seminar is for you. You will get a quick refresher on the basics such as influence of fillers on properties and then we will delve deeper into the topic. An hour spent on this seminar will save you a huge amount of time and effort so you can do your job better.

• • • Refresher on the basics, i.e. what affects modulus, yield strength, HDT & impact resistance
    • Learn how fillers interact with other additives such as antioxidants and impact modifiers
    • An easy screening test that allows you to find the best dispersant for your filler or pigment
    • Tips on how to predict mechanical properties to save time and money
    • How weld lines and orientation affect properties
    • Information on additives and unusual fillers
    • Introduction to nanocomposites and how they stack up to traditional filled plastics
    • The importance of the interphase
    • Much more (thermal and electrical conductivity, permeability, transcrystallinity, etc.)
