"Introduction to rubber technology" will be held on Monday, October 7 from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. This course presents an introduction to the jargon of the trade and what goes on in the factory and laboratory for those new to the industry, working in sales, administration, human resources or any other non-technical area. Basics of rubber technology and the language of the rubber industry will be presented by R.J. Del Vecchio, a consultant to the rubber industry. Topics covered will include what polymers are; how rubber is different from plastic; how recipes for rubber compounds are created and why; what is involved in mixing, processing and vulcanizing rubber; and control of rubber products. Cost for attending this course is $295 for Rubber Division members and $330 for non-members, and includes a copy of the 55 page booklet, "A beginner's guide to rubber technology." The course, "Design of experiments," will be held on Tuesday, October 8 and Wednesday, October 9 from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. This course is designed for compounders, chemists, process engineers, factory troubleshooters, manufacturing supervisors, and research or technical managers. Taught by R.J. Del Vecchio, the course will cover such topics as review of basic statistics; designed experiments; how to prepare and implement designs; and full scale exercise in designing and implementing the method. Registration for this course costs $595 for Rubber Division members and $645 for non-members, and includes lunch on both days. A Rubber Recycling Workshop will be offered on Thursday, October 10, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. This workshop is designed for rubber recyclers, rubber recycling equipment managers, engineers, and research and development and marketing personnel working in rubber recycling. Speakers from this workshop will present information on historical perspectives and market trends, comparisons of different recycling processes, recycled rubber application variations, the use of recycled rubber as an asphalt modifier and the mechanical properties of rubber containing recycled rubber. Registration for this workshop costs $450 for Rubber Division members and $500 for non-members and includes course notes and lunch. A Rubber Technology Workshop will be held on Monday and Tuesday, October 7-8, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. This workshop will provide basic background information on natural rubber, SBR and specialty polymers such as silicone, nitrile rubbers and polyurethane. Discussion will also be included on processing of rubber compounds and vulcanization vulcanization (vŭl'kənəzā`shən), treatment of rubber to give it certain qualities, e.g., strength, elasticity, and resistance to solvents, and to render it impervious to moderate heat and cold. of rubber. Emphasis will be placed on physical testing and dynamic properties. It is recommended that attendees be compounders, chemists, engineers, technical support staff, sales personnel or manufacturing chemists and engineers. Registration for this workshop costs $450 for Rubber Division members and $500 for non-members and includes course notes and lunch.
