RIEG committee meeting 19 March 2021
For the last year the RIEG committee has been running its planning meetings online. Today (19 March) we nearly had a full house with 21 of us on the call (two more joined but had broken cameras). We planned our next three webinars, the first on 18 June on Elastomers Used in Infrastructure, the second on 17 September on Elastomer use in Additive Manufacture and the third on 10 December on Elastomer use in Acoustic Applications.
Register for our next event: Elastomer in Infrastructure
This webinar will focus on the use of elastomers in the public and private infrastructure surrounding our society and will aim to capture new materials, processes and applications utilising elastomers in this field. Issues to be discussed will include structural health, safeguarding the integrity of the structures that support our society , improvements in the environment that we live in from improved performance, sustainability or the use of new materials using elastomers in all aspects of engineering.
