Fillers in Thermoplastics: Essential Principles for Efficient Optimization

填料处理,产生巨大影响性能ormance & cost of your filled thermoplastics. Reaching optimal performance can be quite tricky, unless you know how to efficiently select and deploy appropriate fillers.Join this course to:

1. Learn todesign & developfilled thermoplastic formulations.


2. Easily adjust your formulations with acheat sheet to select appropriate fillers(acicular, isotropic…) & additives (impact modifier, dispersant, coupling agent...).


3. Develop your skills fasterby saving yourself from reading countless papers, with anorganized review of fillers& their impact on cost/performance ratio.


4. Focus your efforts on getting desired performance(high strength, modulus...) with theinsight sharedfromDr Trevor’sown industrial optimization experience

Filler suppliers, polymer suppliers, recyclers, Compounders, Processors, OEMswith a need to compare materials in terms of performance/cost ratio, select the best material for each application or a desire to develop plastic products through a better knowledge of how to use fillers in polymer formulations.
