Two rubber symposia have been organized under the umbrella of the national CSC conference:
Rubbers and Elastomers in Sustainability and Emerging Technologies
This symposium will address rubber sustainability and the new technologies that are being developed to recycle rubber, to lower its carbon footprint and methods to make rubber more durable and environmentally friendly. Topics include devulcanization, recycling techniques, rubber and biomaterials and alternate sources of rubber. Extending the lifetime and durability of rubber using nanotechnology, novel materials including antioxidants and rubber blending are also of interest.
General Topics in Rubber Technology
Current trends with respect to elastomer and compounding developments including mixing/molding technologies as well as advances in the characterization and testing of final compounds will be explored and discussed.
Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
