Rapra Technology helps with the vision
Rapra Technology has been working with the Manufacturing Advisory Service - West Midlands (MAS-WM) in order to enable a leading manufacturer of surgical instruments diversify and expand its range.
They possess characteristics such as exceptional strength, temperature resistance (usually in excess of 160C), chemical resistance and dimensional stability.
The High Performance Plastics Conference aims to bring together experts to discuss the latest developments in materials including properties, processing and applications.
It will provide a useful discussion forum for plastics R and D specialists, designers, engineers, processors, manufacturers and material suppliers.
Papers are now being invited for submission.
Presenting authors are entitled to free registration on both days of the conference including meals, refreshments and a copy of the proceedings.
Topics to be considered include: material selection and performance; processing; cost considerations; and applications and case studies (particularly long-term performance).
Papers may cover the wide spectrum of high performance plastics, including: polyamide, polyarylamide, polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyoxymethylene, polymethylmethacrylate, polyphenylene oxide, polyphenylene sulfide, polyetherimide, polysulfone, polyether sulfone, polyphenylene sulfone, polyether ether ketone, polyphthalamide, polyamide-imide and fluoroplastics.
Corporate sponsorship opportunities are available.
Companies can sponsor individual events such as dinners and receptions or individual items such as pens and notepads.
A wallet service is also available where companies can arrange to have a brochure enclosed in every delegate conference bag.
There will also be a tabletop exhibition organised to run alongside the conference.
