Technical Conference at PLAST 2015 –
May 6-7, 2015 Milan Fiera, Rho, Italy
Technology
Innovations that Enhance Value in Polymer Processing
Sponsored by: Center for Process Analysis and Control (CPAC), GIMAC,
MACPLAS, MK Optimization and Control
This CPAC technical conference during
PLAST 2015 will highlight advances in process operations that are of value in
producing the next generation of high technology polymeric materials. These
advances are enabled by recent developments in real-time analysis and data
handing concepts that lead to improved process control through process
understanding.
The meeting
format has three sections.
