As the main sponsor of the International Conference of the Polymer Processing Society, which is one of the most important gatherings in the industry, Kordsa made two presentations. Kordsa’s presentations on two innovative technologies attracted great interest from the participants.

International Conference of the Polymer Processing Society, bringing together professionals in all aspects of Polymer Science and Technology from all around the world, is held in Çe?me, ?zmir between May 26-30, 2019. Kordsa undertook the main sponsorship of the international gathering which hosted major science people, engineers and designers as keynote speakers. With its 35th edition this year, the conference attracted many industry professionals.

As the main sponsor, Kordsa had the chance to share information with the participants on Kordsa’s ongoing projects of its tire reinforcement and composite technologies R&D Centers.

Kordsa’s presentation on “An Experimental Study For Determination of Convective Heat Transfer Coefficents On Yarn Production Line” conveyed information on the study about Kordsa’s heat transfer coefficients which can be used for the modelling of yarn production line cooling process.

Kordsa’s second presentation, with the title “New Hybrid Nano Additives for Thermoplastic Compounding: CVD Grown Carbon Fiber on Graphene” was about thermoplastic prepegs developped by Kordsa.

Sustainable, lightweight, and sound absorbing: Polyester-based front trunk solution for BEVs

As car manufacturers look to further reduce their carbon footprint, Autoneum has developed an innovative front trunk solution for battery electric vehicles (BEVs), made entirely from polyester-based textile. The Ultra-Silent Frunk offers significant weight reduction, improved acoustic and thermal insulation, and uses up to 70 percent recycled material, supporting sustainable and efficient vehicle design. Autoneum, global technology leader in acoustic and thermal management for vehicles, has already received orders for the new frunk from three major OEMs in Asia and Europe to be built in three BEV models. Series production for two BEVs has been underway in China and Germany since last year.
