Course Highlights:

• FILMS: Measurement & control of Crystallinity and its role in thermoforming. Inter-relationships between nucleation & processing rates & achieving high clarity at high crystallinities. Differentiation of fractional draw ratios (2.1 vs 2.4) in balanced vs unbalanced oriented films. Chemical make-up of multilayered films with ease and highest level of confidence, Detection of dimensional stability & history.

• FIBERS: Determining draw ratios and dimensional stability and correlation with mechanicals & dyeability

• MANUFACTURING: Problems arising in Film Extrusion, Injection Molding, Blow Molding, Thermoforming, and Compounding

• ADDITIVES & COATINGS: Best practices in selecting the right additive & optimal COATINGS. Exploring the "Un-Expected" benefits of additives.

• INNOVATION: How to use "Analytical Data" to discover New Concepts for Product & Process Innovations

• SALES & MARKETING: Product / Process "A" is better than "B" and, if unresolved, $MM sales is at stake; Maximizing Probability of Winning !!!

Target Audience:

• R&D / New Product-Process Development: Learn most effective ways to follow progress towards your goals.

• Technical Services & Marketing: Learn how to respond to "CUSTOMERS" when $MM is at stake

• Analytical Services: Learn and count on some new Analytical-Problem Solving strategies from our TEAM of experts.

Testimonials:

• Enjoyed the problem solving examples.....Rheology of moisture and heat sensitive materials was very useful since we process PET & Nylons.
We took away some great information from this seminar.
-Tom Shilale, Sr. R&D Engineer, Avery Dennison, Attendee-2010, Fitchburg, MA
-Chuck Burout, Business Development Manager-New Technologies, Avery Dennison, Attendee-2010, Fitchburg, MA

• Practical aspects of the course were excellent. Logical & scientific problem solving examples were great. Thanks, it was a day Very Well spent.
-Dr. Sumita Ranganathan, Senior Product Development Engineer, Sealed Air, Attendee-2009, Duncan, SC

• Very well in-depth analysis of the role of crystallinty in controlling the performance of plastic films; I learned a lot from the class.
-Huy Phan, Process Quality Engineer , SKC Films, Attendee-2009, Covington, GA

• Case Histories provided methodology and approaches to problem analysis - liked it very much. Also enjoyed the discussion on 7-RULES OF INNOVATION with a particular reference to problem solving.
-Dr. Salil Jha, Manager R&D, Capsugel-a division of Pfizer, Attendee-2008, Greenwood, SC

• Discussion of Case Studies was particularly helpful. I learned a lot of "Tips & Tricks" that you won't find in textbooks. Very practical approach in presentations.
-Lourdes Lopez, Principal Scientist, Beckton Dickinson, Attendee-2008, Franklin Lakes, NJ

• Extremely helpful course for our type of industry where competition is intense and everyone is looking for cost-effective packaging materials with superior technology...Structure-processing-property relationships were presented with such high clarity for the first time...Case histories discussed will definitely help us.
-Dipak Boral, Head-R&D, UFlex-Packaging Division, Attendee-2007, Noida, India

• Course was very good with lots of practical information and thought-provoking approaches to industrial problem solving.
-William Brown, Lead Sciences & Lab Services Specialist, Progressive Energy, Attendee-2007, New Hill, NC

• Quite interesting course...all the case-studies presented brought-in new ideas to be applied to our materials.
-Carlos Rodriguez, R&D, BioFilm, Attendee-2007, Cartagena, Columbia, South America

• The course was highly relevant to non-lab people like myself...Really liked the message about Innovation coming from analytical work.
-Richard Dayrit, Research Associate, Sealed Air-Cryovac Division, Attendee-2007, Duncan, SC

• Speakers were highly knowledgeable in applying analytical techniques to the real world problems.....Case Histories were intriguing....Overall, a good value for the time & money.
-Dr. Michael J. Pearce, Laboratory Head-Polymers Analytical, Eastman Chemical, Attendee-2006, Kingsport, TN

• It is a very fruitful short course, perhaps one of the best that I have attended to. I particularly enjoyed the case histories of the industrial problem solving that showed how to approach the problem strategically, and the application of various analytical techniques in real life. I also liked the presentations that showed how small discoveries from analytical testing lead to big inventions and innovations. Thank you very much for giving this inspiring course!
