Plenary Session In this session, attendees will hear from Mohini Sain, a leading innovator in biofiber composites on the need for innovation and what it takes to be successful. Also highlighted will be the latest developments in Europe from Marc Thometschek and in China from Wayne Song.
Session IA: New Characterization Techniques Understanding material performance requires a well-characterized composite. Researchers are applying new, advanced techniques to better characterize fiber dispersion, strain distributions, material anisotropy, fracture toughness and more.
Session IB: Perspectives, Opportunities, and Developments This session reviews intellectual property and describes recent litigation. Also highlighted are new opportuni-ties and developments including a new hydrophobic lignocellulosic filler, an information database designed to help manufacturers replace glass with natural fibers, fluid-assist injection molding technology, and advances in composites for the aerospace and construction industries.
Session IIA: Insights into Mechanical Performance What makes these materials tick and how does that affect material performance? This session describes how researchers are gaining a better understanding of the starting materials, processing and treatment effects, the interphase, and how performance can be understood and predicted. Session IIB: Applications & Processing The industry remains dynamic as new materials, processes, and products are developed. This session highlights optimized extrusion processing for recycled plastics, density reduction using glass micro-spheres, formulating for injection molding in automotive and other applications, using wood flour and biopolymers to increase sustainability in packaging, commercial panel manufacturing, and laminated panel products.
Session IIIA: Advanced Reinforcements/Biopolymer Composites Wood flour is not the only wood-derived filler or reinforcement - nor are all matrices necessarily petroleum-based. This session highlights aspects relevant to the high-performance side of wood/natu-ral fiber reinforcements as well as new composites with biopolymer matrices.
Session IIIB: Durability The durability of these composites is complex and involves many, interacting variables. This ses-sion is entirely devoted to this important topic and includes the latest research on material effects, evaluation methods, and methods for optimizing durability.
