OBJECTIVES
 
  • To promote and enhance collaborative research activities among researchers and professors from both key US and Korean research institutions in Polymer Engineering and Technology field which plays a critical role in the development of other technologies in electronics, IT, BT and NT.

  • To initiate the opportunities to seek for specific collaborative projects to benefit each participating party.

  • To initiate the opportunities to all of participating parties to leverage existing international collaborative research programs
   
TOPICS
  Joint Session with Polymer Chemistry and Physics Symposium
  • Session 1
    Innovative Polymer Processing Technology Plastics Fabrication Technology and simulation including injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, thermoforming, foaming etc. including micro-scale process
  • Session 2
    Polymer Rheology and Processing
  • Session 3
    Application of Ultrasonic and Electromagnetic energy for Plastics Processing and Parts Assembly
  • Session 4
    Recent Advances in Polymeric Materials Achieving New Engineering Properties By Novel Technology, e. g. Enhancement of polymeric property with nano particles
   
SCOPE
 

The advances of Information technologies, Biotechnologies and Nanotechnologies were not possible in absence of the advent of new fabrication technologies for the new polymers and its blend that replaced metal parts in the consumer and business products. This symposium will bring the current development in the fabrication and processing technologies in various technology fields and demonstrate how Polymer Engineering and Technologies play key roles by understanding the fundamentals and principles in the application.
