[February 2005]
Functional Fillers Conference
Intertech (Portland, ME, USA) has announced that its international conference 'Functional Fillers for Plastics 2005' will take place from 19-21 September 2005 at the Toronto Marriott Downtown Eaton Centre Hotel, Canada.
This year's conference, the 13th in the series, will bring together both users and producers of reinforcing fillers for thermoplastics, as well as thermosets, to focus on the new opportunities emerging for increased use of functional fillers in polymer systems.
Calcium carbonate, silica, kaolin, talc, ATH, wollastonite, nanocomposites, natural fibres and other materials will be discussed. Users will learn about new fillers and new filler grades and also new techniques for maximising benefits from each material. Producers will hear about market opportunities as well as learn new ways to modify, classify, micronise and add value to their products. Other sessions will address surface treatments, compounding and blending.
Participants will obtain a complete picture of the functional filler market and have the opportunity to discuss key issues with speakers and fellow attendees from around the world.
