AMI’s
Conductive Plastics 2018 conference returns to Europe for its third edition.
This high level international conference, which examines the development,
processing and application of electrically and thermally conductive
thermoplastics, takes place on 6-7 November at Austria Trend Hotel Savoyen in Vienna, Austria, and will
once again bring together OEMs, engineering designers, processors, compounders
and additive producers.
New electrical and electronic applications
in fast growing sectors such as LED lighting, electric vehicles, and wireless
communication - together with increasingly stringent ATEX regulation of
products used in explosion-risk environments - are driving interest in both
thermally and electrically conductive thermoplastic compounds as replacements
for metals and ceramics. However, development and processing of such materials
is not straightforward.
Conductive Plastics 2018 will explore the
wide range of additive technologies available to developers of electrical
and/or thermally conductive plastic compounds. Expert presentations will
examine how to optimise the design and production of conductive plastics components
and will address the critical influence of processing on the properties of
finished parts.
In addition, this conference will provide
insight into existing and emerging applications for conductive plastics.
Speakers will look at how the design and production flexibility provided by
these high performance functional formulations, combined with their competitive
cost and light weight, can open up exciting new business opportunities for
compounders, processors, designers and OEMs.
Conductive Plastics 2018 will provide a
unique learning and networking environment where all involved in the
development of electrically and/or thermally conductive plastics, as well as
those designing and manufacturing conductive components, can explore the very
latest technology options and identify new opportunities and applications.

Unfortunately AMI cannot take responsibility for such problems. We recommend that you ensure that your travel plans leave you enough spare time to cope with weather delays or industrial action and that your travel insurance policy will recompense you for any financial loss that you suffer as a result of being unable to travel for other reasons. Remember that if you cannot attend an event then you can always send a colleague in your place at no charge.
It is entirely possible that you may need a valid visa to enter a country where AMI is holding an event. This is especially the case for individuals attending our events and holding non-European passports. We recommend that at the time of booking you check the visa requirements with the embassy of the host country in your home location. We are unable to give refunds to delegates who cannot attend conferences because they fail the visa requirements of the country concerned.
AMI always does its utmost to avoid changes in advertised conference programs. However it is a fact of life that from time to time amendments have to be made as a result of changes to speakers’ circumstances or corporate change. Remember that you can always check with our conference staff on the latest status any conference programme.
Naturally AMI welcomes paper offers for presentation at our conferences provided such papers meet our quality and relevance requirements. Within each conference heading you will find a section on ‘Call for Papers’, which tells you what to do if you want to present a paper at a specific conference.
