AMI’s
Conductive Plastics 2018 conference returned to Europe for its third edition.
This high level international conference, which examined the development,
processing and application of electrically and thermally conductive
thermoplastics, took place on 6-7 November at Austria Trend Hotel Savoyen in Vienna, Austria, and will
once again brought 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 explored the
wide range of additive technologies available to developers of electrical
and/or thermally conductive plastic compounds. Expert presentations examined how to optimise the design and production of conductive plastics components
and addressed the critical influence of processing on the properties of
finished parts.
In addition, this conference provided
insight into existing and emerging applications for conductive plastics.
Speakers looked 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 provided 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, explored the very
latest technology options and identify new opportunities and applications.
