e-Training Course Length: 90 minutes
Time: 10am ET
Presented by: Dr. Donald Rosato
Plastics and electricity form a true dream team. Matchless plastics property balances together with design/processing methods often provide economical solutions that justify their supremacy in the electronics market. R&D is underway using advanced plastics and plastics related materials to develop new approaches to electronic devices.
For example: SmarTire Systems Inc. of Canada, is manufacturing a new low-cost system for tire pressure monitoring, Polyplastics Co., Ltd. and Otsuka Chemical Co., Ltd. of Japan have jointly developed a high dielectric-constant LCP and PPS resin based compound series, Konarka Technologies Inc. is manufacturing a new photovoltaic (PV) cells that promise to make solar energy inexpensive, unobtrusive and readily available.
In less than 2 hours, benefit from a snapshot of what is going on in the electronic plastics: technology, materials and trends. This course will be highly practical with references to several case studies. Attendees will come away with all the tools needed to make good decisions relative to plastics in electronics. This will lead to strategically market positioned, best practice, and cost performance optimized plastics in electronics products.
At the conclusion of the 60-minute presentation segment, there will be a 30-minute open question and answer period, for attendee questions and problem solving.
