Each conference has attracted papers of high quality and provided a forum for discussion between academia and industry.Hosted in 2008 by École Polytechnique de Montréal, Canada, the conference will feature state-of-the-art achievements in composite manufactu-ring and liquid composite moulding with a particular emphasis on aerospace and automotive applications. One of the main goals is to help bridge the gap between theory and practice. Lecturers from academia and industry will discuss the latest scientific results on flow processes and illustrate through specific exam-ples applications of liquid composite moulding to the manufacturing of high performance composites. th Composites Europe September 23-25 Essen, Germany www.composites-europe.com METS November 13-15 Amsterdam, The Netherlands www.mets.nl/home.asp SAMPE France November 22-23 Toulon, France www.sampe-france.org European Wind Energy March 31 - April 3 Brussels, Belgium www.ewea.org High Performance Fibers November 28-29 Washington, USA www.compositesworld.com April Aircraft interior April 1-3 Hamburg Messe, Germany www.aircraftinteriors-expo.com JEC Composites Asia October 22-24 Singapore www.jeccomposites.com 2 HIGHTEX November 30 - December 2 Istanbul Expo Center, Turkey info@hightex2007.com nd 6th European “Thermo-forming” SPE Conference April 3-5 Berlin, Germany www.e-t-d.org SETEC ‘08 technical conference & table top exhibition September 18 - 19 Ausber, Germany sebo@sampe-europe.org December European offshore wind Conference & exhibition December 4-6 Berlin, Germany www.eow2007.info REACH USA April 15-17 Boston, Massachusetts, USA www.rapra.net October IBEX October 6 - 8 Miami, USA www.ibexshow.com Carbon Fiber December 5-7 Washington, USA www.compositesworld.com May SAMPE USA May 18 - 22 Long Beach, CA, USA www.sampe.org Data 2007: - 254 exhibitors - 3,850 visitors Composites Polycon October 15-17 Anaheim, California, USA www.acmanet.org Plastic Pipes Fittings and Joints December 10-12 Cologne, Gerany www.amiplastics.com http://cchp.meca.polymtl.ca/ fpcm9/ November Farnborough International Airshow July 14-20 Farnborough, UK www.farnborough.com February ICERP February 7 - 9 Mumbai, India www.frpinstitute.org June Feiplar November Sao Paulo, Brazil, www.feiplar.com.br JEC Composites Show April 1-3 Paris, France www.jeccomposites.com Data 2007: - 1,000 exhibitors - + 25,000 visitors - 40,000 m2 By Anatole A. Klyosov Edited by Wiley, USA This book presents an overview of the main principles underlying the composition of Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) materials and their performance. Focusing on the characteristics of WPC materials rather than their manufacture, this guide bridges the gap between laboratory-based research and testing and the properties WPC materials exhibit when they’re used in decks, railing systems, fences, and other common applications. The book describes compositions and properties of WPC materials that include thermoplastics, cellulose fibre, minerals, and additives. It covers mechanical properties, microbial resistance, water absorption, flammability, slip resistance, thermal expansion-contraction, sensitivity to oxidation and solar radiation, as well as rheological properties of hot melts of WPC. It deals with criteria for aesthetics, properties, performance, and durability of wood-plastic composite products, and also includes comparisons of different ASTM methods and procedures that apply to specific properties. 728 pages, £97.50 / US$175.00 / €140.00 More information: ww.wiley.com BOOK Wood-Plastic Composites No35 September 2007 / JEC Composites Magazine
