The Rubber in Engineering Group, a committee of The Polymer Society, organises regular meetings and conferences on the theme of understanding the use of elastomers as engineering materials
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.
View on demand: Elastomer Use in Sustainable Energy Generation
This afternoon technical discussion meeting (ATDM) examined the use of advanced elastomer materials in sustainable energy generation. The demand for low carbon emitting energy technologies is rising, creating new technical challenges for elastomer materials that must be overcome to meet emissions targets.
Forthcoming events
Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging
This webinar will unpack the major packaging reform consultations and explore the material-specific opportunities and challenges.
Elastomers in Infrastructure
Exploring the use of elastomers in the public and private infrastructure surrounding our society
