Kordsa at the International Conference of the Polymer Processing Society

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.

DIENES at Techtextil 2026: Flexible pilot lines for bio-based fiber development

The growing relevance of bio-based materials in technical textiles is accompanied by increasing demands for reproducibility, high-quality data, and scalable process routes. Especially when working with cellulose and its derivatives, chitosan, lignin-based approaches, or bio-based PAN as a carbon-fiber precursor, R&D teams face variable feedstock quality, tighter process windows, and the need for reliable comparability across trials. This calls for flexible, data-driven experimental setups that can be reconfigured efficiently when recipes, solvents, and raw-material batches change.
