CPI Accepting Papers And Posters For The Polyurethanes 2010 Technical Conference
The Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI), of the American Chemistry Council, has issued a call for papers and posters to be presented at the Polyurethanes 2010 Technical Conference. In partnership with UTECH North America, the conference will be held on October 11 – 13, 2010, at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. Paper abstracts are due March 01, 2010. Poster abstracts will be accepted until September 1, 2010. Submission instructions, paper guidelines and templates can be found on CPI's Website, www.americanchemistry.com/polyurethane.
The Polyurethanes 2010 Technical Conference, in partnership with UTECH North America, provides an opportunity to reach an audience of more than 1,500 manufacturers and processors of polyurethane-based products across all industrial sectors. Papers and posters may address innovations and developments in any polyurethane area, including flexible slabstock, flexible molded, rigid foam, soy-based polyols, polyurethane waterborne dispersions, equipment/machinery, cast elastomers, thermoplastic polyurethanes, integral skin, Reaction Injection Molding (RIM), binders/fillers, coatings, adhesives, sealants and more.
CPI also encourages paper and poster submissions on breakthrough technology and innovations in polyurethane markets or chemistry, developing markets such as medical and fiberboard, and product areas such as rigid foam insulation or coatings. Presentation submissions also may focus on issues such as combustibility, transportation, recreation, security, as well as environmental and stewardship issues, including emissions, regulatory developments, waste management and related topics. The highly successful Polyurethanes 2009 Technical Conference saw 20 authors receive awards at the conference for their papers and posters, as judged by their peers.
