FSCT issues call for papers for coating wood program; ACSeries to be held September 25-27 in Charlotte, NC.The FSCT FSCT Federation of Societies for Coating Technology FSCT Fire Support Control Terminal has issued a Call for Papers for the Advancements in Coatings Series, "Coating Wood and Wood Composites: The Changing Future." To be held at the Marriott Charlotte Executive Park, Charlotte, NC, this program examines areas critical to interior and exterior coatings for wood. Focus will be on wood composites, mold mold, name for certain multicellular organisms of the various classes of the kingdom Fungi, characteristically having bodies composed of a cottony mycelium. The colors of molds are caused by the spores, which are borne on the mycelium. and mildew mildew, name for certain fungi and protists, for the diseases they cause in various crops, and for the discoloration (and sometimes the weakening and disintegration) they cause in such materials as leather, fabrics, and paper. (including moisture intrusion), and streamlining the manufacturing process to achieve greater efficiency. "Coating Wood and Wood Composites: The Changing Future" consists of a one-day short course, followed by a two-day symposium featuring 30-minute paper presentations. Presentations will be offered in separate, themed tracks. In addition, suppliers are invited to showcase their products and services related to this area through tabletop exhibits. The Organizing Task Force is seeking presentations on the following and related topics: Suggested Topics Moisture Intrusion * Keeping Water Out * Managing Water Vapor * Avoiding Mold/Mildew Problems * Geographical Considerations Interior Wood Production Manufacturing * Flooring * Furniture * Equipment * Regulations Wood Composites * Traditional Products (OSB OSB abbr. Order of Saint Benedict , plywood plywood, manufactured board composed of an odd number of thin sheets of wood glued together under pressure with grains of the successive layers at right angles. Laminated wood differs from plywood in that the grains of its sheets are parallel. , flake flake an epidermal scale. flake Cocaine, see there board, etc.) * Coated Wood-based Composites * Wood/Plastic Composites Exterior Wood Products * Decking and Fasteners fasteners In construction, connectors between structural members. Bolted connections are used when it is necessary to fasten two elements tightly together, especially to resist shear and bending, as in column and beam connections. * Finger-joint Issues * Factory Finishing * UV Degradation * Solid Wood Information For Speakers Those interested should provide a 150-200 word abstract, along with contact information, by February 1, 2005. Include author's name Noun 1. author's name - the name that appears on the by-line to identify the author of a work writer's name name - a language unit by which a person or thing is known; "his name really is George Washington"; "those are two names for the same thing" (s), company name, address, telephone, fax, and email address See Internet address. . Send abstracts to: Rod Moon, Director of Education, FSCT, 492 Norristown Rd., Blue Bell, PA 19422-2350; or email: education@coatingstech.org. Official abstract forms are available by contacting FSCT headquarters. After abstracts are reviewed and the presentations are approved, authors will be required to submit a paper or a copy of the presentation slides for distribution to all registered attendees. Papers, although not required, are encouraged. Please submit all materials electronically, with an accompanying hard copy. Figures and tables should be placed at the end of the document. Who Should Attend Scientist, formulators, and engineers involved in coating development and coating process/application. Additionally, personnel dealing with polymers and resins resins, n.pl complex, insoluble, sticky substances secreted by plants. Used as astringents, antimicrobials, and antiinflammatories, and are burned as incense. Can cause oral ulcers and epidermal irritations. , additives, pigments, coating sales and marketing, etc., and those involved in testing and property development will find this symposium highly informative and valuable. Exhibits & Sponsorships Tabletop exhibits and a variety of sponsorship programs offer valuable opportunities for suppliers to increase contacts and showcase products and services related to ACSeries topics. Information is available by contacting FSCT headquarters.
