Abstract

The second edition of Wear-Resistant Plastics will focus on the critical area of polymer tribology, and explore how it can open new applications, particularly in metal replacement. The event will be returning to Hotel Nikko, Düsseldorf. Industry experts will explore innovative methods for optimising the wear and friction properties of plastics components. The comprehensive programme will cover wear-resistant polymers and the use of additives for modifying tribological performance. Expert speakers will discuss materials selection and design optimisation for wear-resistant plastic components such as gears, bearings, conveyors, wheels, and seals. They will cover a variety of critical applications in markets including the industrial, oil and gas, electrical, automotive, aerospace, and medical sectors. In addition to the busy programme of informative presentations, the event provides excellent networking opportunities during the refreshment breaks and evening drinks reception, which takes place in a dedicated exhibition area.
