MS12 (Polymer) | 2021

Polymer Processing and Thermomecanical Properties

Coordinator: Prof. Vincent Sobotka

Co-organisers: Dr. Nadine Allanic, Dr. Olivier De Almeida, Prof Abderrahim Maazouz, Prof. Gary Menary, Prof. Fabrice Schmidt, Dr. Roberto Spina, Dr. Peter Martin 

Description: The aim of this symposium is to bring together specialists from academia and industry dealing with modelling and experimental analysis of polymer processing and induced properties. This MS extends from thermo-chemo-mechanical characterization of polymers to coupled transfers in processes, in particular heat transfer in molded parts, tools and interfaces. The main topics of the mini symposium are: Thermomechanical modelling and optimization of polymers processes. New challenges for characterization and modelling of thermo-chemo-physical properties in homogeneous and heterogeneous media; Heat transfer phenomena in molds/tools associated with polymers processes; Specific thermal metrology applied to polymers processing.
