Conference held in Barcelona, March 4-5, 2009 Fillers have an important role to play in maximising polymer performance and production. Cost reduction, density control, optical effects, thermal conductivity, magnetic properties, flame retardancy and improved hardness and tear resistance help to explain why the global market is still calling out for new high performance fillers. The wide ranging, technical papers will appeal to compounders, moulders, processors, materials specialists, polymer engineers and researchers in polymer science as well as end users of polymer materials. Presentations include insight into current and predicted filler markets, how fillers can lead to cost savings, new milling processes, the development of new filler types, and much more.
