Crosslinking workshop featured at FSCT Midyear.The FSCT FSCT Federation of Societies for Coating Technology FSCT Fire Support Control Terminal will feature an one-day workshop on "Advanced Topics in Crosslinking," in conjunction with its Midyear Symposium. The Midyear Symposium, designed to provide the international coatings community with a forum for the exchange of in-depth technical information, is scheduled for May 12-14, 2004 at the Hilton Walt Disney World Noun 1. Walt Disney World - a large amusement park established in 1971 to the southwest of Orlando Orlando - a city in central Florida; site of Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, FL. The Workshop will be held on May 12. The Midyear Symposium Task Force, chaired by Jamil Baghdachi, of Eastern Michigan University Eastern Michigan University, mainly at Ypsilanti, Mich.; coeducational; founded 1849 as a normal school, became Eastern Michigan College in 1956, gained university status in 1959. , has announced the following preliminary schedule of speakers and topics. Midyear Symposium Workshop Overview of Film Formation and Crosslinking -- J. Baghdachi * Thermoplastic and thermosetting thermosetting, adj having the property of becoming irreversibly rigid or hardened with the application of heat. In dentistry the term is used in connection with resins. systems * Stages of property development * Chemical and physical variables controlling property development Formation from Latexes -- Ray Fernando, Cal Poly State University * Mechanisms and stages of film formation * Parameters affecting film formation processes * Crosslinking systems and mechanisms * Self-crosslinking chemistries Crosslinking Chemistries -- J. Baghdachi and R. Fernando * Epoxy, urethane, aminoplast, unsaturated polyester, alkyd, silane/silicone, hybrid systems, active methylene group, etc. Role of Catalysis -- Mark Soucek, University of Akron Enrollment in fall 2006 was 23,539 students.[1] The school offers more than 200 undergraduate degrees [2] and 100 graduate degrees [3]. The University's best-known program is its College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering, which is located in a * Role of catalysts and types by chemistries * Effect of catalysts on film properties and coatings durability * Selecting catalysts and their optimum levels Radiation Cure Chemistries -- Peter T. Weissman, UCB Chemical Corp. * Ultraviolet and electron beam as a source of energy * Crosslinking through free-radical and cationic cationic having qualities dependent on having free cations available. cationic detergents are wetting agents that disrupt or damage cell membranes, denature proteins and inactivate enzymes. pathways * Parameters affecting crosslink density and property development Characterization of the Crosslinking-Processes -- Loren Hill, Consultant * Laboratory testing, hardness, swelling, and FTIR FTIR Fourier Transform Infrared (spectroscopy) FTIR Frustrated Total Internal Reflection FTIR Fourier Transfer Ir * Crosslink density calculations * Estimating and determining crosslink density, plots, T diagrams, DSC, DMA, and other characterization methods For additional information, contact: FSCT, 492 Norristown Rd., Blue Bell, PA 19422-2350; 610.940.0777; fax: 610.940.0292; or e-mail:fsct@coatingstech.org.
