Visiting Las Vegas

The most populous city in the state of Nevada, Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city known not only as “The Entertainment Capital of the World”, but as the leading financial and cultural center for Southern Nevada.

One of the top three destinations in the United States for conventions, business and meetings, it is also one of the top tourist destinations in the world.

From the flash and dazzle of the famous Las Vegas Strip boasting grand buildings, spectacular shows, and boutiques, to the art galleries, museums, cultural activities and ghost towns, there is plenty to do before and after the conference.

A mere drive away is the engineering marvel of the Hoover Dam, or spectacular rock formations and ancient fossils in the Nevada state parks. See the unique scenery of the Mojave Desert with 200 endemic plant species and only one kind of tree - the Joshua Tree.

It’s hard to imagine that the dry desert was once home to natural springs and abundant water. Visit the nearby historic site of those former springs to learn about the city’s rich heritage.

Business Management Award Baldev L. Boolani, Boolani Engineering Corporation

Mr. Boolani is the Chairman of Boolani Engineering Corporation in Mumbai, India. As a young honors graduate with a B.A in Economics from Jaihind College, he established Boolani Engineering in 1949 to manufacture plastic molding and extrusion machinery when plastics and the plastics industry were unheard of in India. It was a pioneering and bold act for this born entrepreneur in an adverse environ-ment, as beyond cotton, jute, textiles and railways, no other industry existed. Today, thousands of small scale organizations across the country owe their genesis to the support provided by Mr. Boolani. His efforts also led major corporations to set up plants for manufacturing in India. Because of these efforts, he is considered a father figure in the plastics industry, and was awarded the “Udyog Patra Award” (Eminent Businessman Award) by the President of India in 1977.

Mr. Boolani is credited with laying the foundation for the manufacture of plastics consumer goods and for designing and manu-facturing small injection molding machines for the production of hundreds of consumer products for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial products. He was a pioneer in extrusion lines for recycling CA, CAB and polystyrene materials.

Over the past six decades, Boolani Engineering has grown significantly around the world. In addition to the over 15,000 process-ing machines they have provided to corporations, they have produced a wide range of lab machines for Research and Application Development Centers, Institutes of Technology and Engineering Colleges. A board member of the Vivekanand Education Society (VES), Mr. Boolani has been deeply involved in education with VES since 1978. With a passion for research, he has guided the development of the VES College of Pharmacy, which includes the fabrication of machines and accessories for pharmaceutical research. He also is credited with founding the VES College of Law. His energy and resourcefulness have created a significant and long lasting impact on plastics education – and the plastics industry – in India.

Challenges in Nanocomposites: Mixing Obstacles and Opportunities Professor Ica Manas-Zloczower Case Western Reserve University Nanofillers have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their remarkable mechanical, thermal and electrical proper-ties, rendering them as ideal fillers for advanced polymer composites. However, due to strong interparticle interactions, individual nanofillers tend to form micrometer-size bundles which entangle and condense into larger agglomerates with inferior properties. Difficulties in uniformly dispersing nanofillers have resulted in sub-par material properties as compared with what could theo-retically be achieved for well-dispersed systems. In other words, the material properties of nanocomposites are controlled by the state of nanofiller dispersion in the polymer matrix and nanofiller/polymer interfacial interactions. Evaluating different methods to characterize the state of filler dispersion at different length scales enables us to look at the potential of applying mixing funda-mentals to tailor properties in advanced materials.

Sustainability and Plastics: Innovation from Dow Performance Plastics Drives Sustainable SolutionsDr. Robert Maughon The Dow Chemical Company It is nearly impossible to go a day without touching a polyolefin polymer. These materials are used in a wide array of products, and likely they will remain the polymers of choice for most applications for the foreseeable future. The sustainability of plastics is a growing area of discussion. Understanding sustainability requires understanding the life cycle; integrating knowledge of production, processing, use and end-of-life. Far too often, hype has surpassed reality, boundary conditions have been neglected, and actions taken that do not truly lead to a sustainable future. Generating more sustainable processes and products requires innovative solutions that deliver clearly articulated benefits to the environment and consumers. At Dow, the integration of our expertise across chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science, enables the development of products with enhanced functionality and an improved environmental footprint. Successful developments in both process and product development in The Dow Chemical Company’s Performance Plastics Division will be highlighted. A four dimensional view, one that includes time, underlies all that we do.

New Technology Forum: Advances in Packaging Monday, April 28 - Pavilion 1

1:30 pm Scott Collick The Dow Chemical Company

Packaging Innovation Needed To Feed a Hungry World As the world’s population continues to grow by 200,000 new people each day, a staggering 30 percent of the world’s food – equivalent to 1.3 billion tons - goes to waste each year. The global population is projected to reach 9 billion before 2050 while earth’s arable land devoted to food production is lim-ited. Minimizing food waste can help close the gap between food availability and population growth.

Packaging is an important part of the food supply chain, as it protects food from damage and harmful elements during the journey from farm to table. Food spoilage is a major contribu-tor to the food waste problem, and keeping packaged foods fresh on the inside while protecting it from outside invaders and delaying spoilage is one of the most obvious benefits of packaging to the food chain. But more innovation is needed to continue to reduce food waste. We must continue to come up with innovative new ideas in an industry that is demanding constant change and that is under constant pressure to do more with less.

This paper will examine innovations in lightweight plastic packaging that help reduce food waste through longer shelf life and enhanced functionality by making packages easier for consumers to use while being cost effective. Fresh food packaged in lightweight protective films can help preserve food longer to extend shelf-life and delay spoilage, allowing more consumers to have access to fresh foods with less of it going to waste. Today’s on-the-go lifestyle is also driving new innovations in packaging. Packaged food that is available in single-serve sizes is ideal for many consumers, because of its portability for today’s on-the-go lifestyles. The convenience of single-serving sizes means that consumers do not have to open an entire package and risk wasting the amount they do not eat.

The Dow Chemical Company‘s Performance Packaging business is working to close the food waste gap with packaging solutions that help reduce food waste across the food supply chain from the farm to the kitchen table. The paper will highlight trends in food packaging area, and a methodology to stimulate innovation that companies in the plastic industry can implement to accelerate innovation. Innovation is an important business strategy at Dow and one that is needed by the plastics industry to continue to feed a hungry world.

2:00 pm Barry A. Morris DuPont Packaging and Industrial Polymers

“Self” Dispersible Ionomer Resins for Grease-Barrier Coatings for Paper PackagingEthylene methacrylic acid copolymers partially neutralized with metal salts, known as ionomers, have long been used as sealants in flexible packaging. The ionic interactions between the metal salt and the acid groups act like thermally revers-ible crosslinks, providing outstanding toughness in the solid state and strength in the melt. The chemistry of ionomers can be tailored to create a wide range of properties for a variety of applications: high resilience for golf ball covers and cores, antistatic additives for polyolefins for electronic packaging, clarity and toughness for hurricane resistant glass laminates, glass-like clarity and chemical resistance for perfume caps and low temperature seal initiation, outstanding hot tack and puncture resistance for sealants. Recent advances in ionomer technology are yielding new property sets that are driving new application development. One example is a new ionomer from DuPont that easily disperses in hot water without the need for solvents, pressure vessels or intensive mechanical agitation used to make conventional ionomer dispersions. Coatings in-corporating such dispersions provide fluorine-free grease-bar-rier performance suitable for various paper packaging applica-tions such as clamshells and pet food bags.

Biography: Barry A. Morris is a technical fellow with DuPont Packaging and Industrial Polymers. He received a B.S. in chemical en-gineering from the University of Virginia and a Ph.D. from Princeton University. He also has a MBA from the University of Delaware. He has held a variety of technology and research

positions while supporting DuPont’s ethylene copolymers business. His research interests include polymer adhesion,

2:30 pm David A. Busche Bemis Advanced Technology

Advancements in Dynamic, Interactive Package CommunicationInformation is the currency of the 21st century, and con-nectivity to the information is creating a new generation of data-driven consumers that are using real-time informa-tion to make purchasing decisions. They are seeking more on-demand information on product attributes such as freshness, wholesomeness, traceability, and authenticity. In-novations in materials science, printing technology, and elec-tronic component device manufacturing are transforming packaging’s ability to communicate from a static, graphical medium to an interactive, multi-sensory experience. It is an-ticipated that flexible packaging in the near future will interact both with the product contained internally and the consumer captivated externally while supporting the “Internet of Things.”

Biography: David joined Bemis as a Product Development Engineer in the Curwood R&D group after graduating from University of Wisconsin-Madison with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering in 1980. During his 33 years with Bemis, he has had many technical roles in Plant Process Engineer, Process Development and

Processing Challenges and Opportunities in the Plastics Packaging IndustryPlastics packaging is a multi-billion dollar global industry. Polymer processing operations transform polymer resins into a package with the necessary product performance character-istics. There are many challenges from a polymer processing standpoint in converting resins to packages. These challenges begin with the design of the polymer molecule and extend to the finished package. These challenges, plus all of the individ-ual processing operations in between, can make the produc-tion of a commercially successful package a difficult task. This presentation will focus on several of the key polymer process-ing operations used in packaging and show how the process-ing challenges can become opportunities if the fundamentals of the processes are well understood.

Advances in Polypropylene for PackagingPolyproplyene is widely used throughput the packaging industry, due to its exceptional chemical resistance and thermal stability, coupled with its balance of low cost and mechanical properties. Polypropylene is also viewed by some as providing improved environmental sustainability relative to other materials. The sustainability contribution as well as performance/ cost balance provided by PP are enhanced sig-nificantly by emerging technologies that reduce packaging weight. These technologies include down-gauging improve-ments and, in the extreme, low-density foam. Historically, the low melt strength of PP has been a hurdle that his limited the success of PP with these technologies. However, advances in HMS-PP technology are overcoming these barriers and moving PP into applications with improved performance at lighter weights.

Bio-derived Polyolefins - Novel Platforms for Targeted Drug Delivery Using Micro-CapsulesPoly(lactic acid) or polylactide polymers have been success-fully utilized as medical implants due to their biocompatibility with biological tissues ; degradability in vitro and in vivo ; and good mechanical properties . Extensive work has been carried out by several investigators in understanding the morpho-logical properties of poly(L-lactic acid) [PLLA]. In particular, considerable progress has been made in elucidating the crys-talline structure and crystallization kinetics of PLLA. Recently, detailed studies were carried out to investigate the influence of physical aging on the viscoelastic behavior of PLLA , and the effects of water sorption on the internal motions in PLLA and other related polymers. The influence of morphology (crystalline and amorphous) on the degradation of PLLA was conducted in aqueous media for periods up to 2 years. It was determined from this study that the highly crystalline residues appear to be very resistant to degradation, and that degrada-tion proceeds more rapidly in the center than at the surface for both the crystalline and the amorphous specimens.

The importance of morphology on degradation has been es-tablished for PLA and a more detailed treatise on this subject is needed as the information generated will have a great impact in interpreting the degradation behavior of PLA prepared from different processing techniques for various applications. Potential applications include wound healing scaffold for burns.

Global Regulatory Harmonization Efforts for Review and Approvals of Combination Medical DevicesAdvances in polymer and material science have enabled sig-nificant enhancements in health care delivery, both in terms of physical functionality and delivery of therapeutic agents. For successful clinical implementation, however, the critical performance characteristics of the materials must be weighed against their potential for inadvertent adverse effects or impact on the clinical therapy paradigm. The latter may include material-mediated physical or toxicologic effects (e.g. classic material biocompatibility), modifications to drug phar-macokinetics or pharmacodynamics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, mode of action), or physiology-based interferenc-es with the material/device. In addition to these patient/user safety and performance aspects of this work, consideration will be given to the current landscape of health and environ-mental advocacy; and the secondary impact on formulation choices (e.g. constituents, catalysts, additives, modifiers). In total, management of material risk versus clear demonstration of unique clinical benefit becomes ever more critical to devel-opment, approval and market acceptance of new products in this space. The current discussion will examine some general principles of material toxicology and risk management, appli-cations to areas of recent materials-based product develop-ment, and specific “case studies”.

Additive Manufacturing of Multi-Functional ProductsSince the commercial introduction of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies more than two decades ago, considerable advancements in processing speed, accuracy, resolution and capacity have been achieved and the available AM materials have expanded considerably, enabling customized end-use products to be directly manufactured for a range of applica-tions. Many AM technologies have been commercialized that use different processes for fabricating the individual layers from a variety of liquid, solid, and powder-based materials ranging from photoreactive polymers to metals. Most recently, numerous media outlets as well as President Barack Obama have been featuring AM technology with a common theme that AM, perhaps more well-known as 3D printing, rep-resents a technology driving the Next Industrial Revolution. Is this attention warranted, and if so, how will AM drive this revolution? This presentation will address the current state-of-the-art in AM and how these technologies can be used in a wide range of multi-disciplinary and collaborative research, teaching, outreach, and entrepreneurship activities. Existing AM technologies can be effectively used in a host of applica-tions ranging from printing implants to components used in satellites. However, significant progress is required to develop the methods and systems for fabricating objects with full spatial control over material placement and structure creation that once achieved will lead to direct printing of complicat-ed, multi-functional devices such as cell phones, spacecraft, homes, and more. There are myriad issues associated with combining multiple materials to create functional products – from the deposition and processing of different materials to the combined performance of the materials in the resulting product. Despite these issues, the opportunities for AM in aerospace, defense, biomedical, energy and enumerable other applications continue to expand as the achievable length scales in AM decrease, the number of materials available for use in AM increases, the performance of these materials are characterized and controlled in the final product, and new strategies for integrating AM with other manufacturing tech-nologies are successfully demonstrated.

Enabling Greater Adoption of Additive ManufacturingTwo new FDM material concepts will be presented that can enable greater adoption of additive manufacturing: Core - Shell coextruded filament and amorphous-crystalline polymer alloy. The Core-Shell filament enables highly filled materials to be utilized in current systems in a novel way, and can enable lower anisotropy in the part mechanical properties. Amor-phous-crystalline polymer alloys can reduce anisotropy and increase toughness and density of FDM parts. This also enables some composite materials to be used, without detrimental effects to the Z strength of the part. Data from employing both techniques are included to illustrate the potential benefits and some suggested applications will be presented.

Electrospun Polymer Nanofibers: Morphology, Structure and PropertiesThe process called electrospinning was patented in 1934, outlining a setup for the production of polymer filaments using electrostatic force - a process that creates fibers through an electrically charged jet of polymer solution and has been currently recognized as a straightforward and cost effective technique to produce polymer nanofibers.

Since the process is simple, morphology of nanofibers can be easily controlled via modified process. In this presentation, the examples of morphology control of nanofibers through electrospinning are introduced such as ultra-fine, porous, aligned, sheath-core structured, and functional nanoparticles incorporated composite nanofibers. Structure development of polymers in electrospinning is also presented in terms of stretching force effect and we will examine the unique features of the mass production systems.

10:30 am Thomas Tung, Rexam

Multi-Layer Co-injection Process Technology ReviewMultilayer co-injection molding process development started as early as 1970 for lowering cost of a structure with perfor-mance enhancement by its different material components. In 1977, an ambitious project was launched to develop dou-ble-seamed retortable plastic food cans. The processes developed for thick-wall products were not precise enough for the thin-wall double-seamed containers and , after seven years, a microprocessor controlled five-layer sixteen-cavity machine made commercial containers and numerous patents were granted.

The narrow mouth bottle with PET as the structure material, with thick neck and sprue, is able to afford less precise control of EVOH layer because of its sufficient barrier property and its lower temperature hot fill processing condition can do without adhesive between EVOH and PET. Due to its simplicity and narrow mouth products, the cavitations reach as high as 144 cavities. The multilayer co-injection process remains a niche process because of its complexity and high cost. Because of multiple materials the process window is hard to control even with advancement in electronic technology. One should have sufficient preparation to take on this technology.

Biography: Dr. Tung Joined American Can in 1977 after graduation from University of Mas-sachusetts. His first assignment was the Mul-tilayer Co-injection Blowing Molding process development to make Retortable Plastic Food Can. He was the co-inventor of 22 patents related to Co-injection and co-authored three

related papers presented at ANTEC. After commercializa-tion in 1984, he stayed at the plant to improve its operation efficiency. He implemented a Container Quality Data Collec-tion System for monitoring product QC and guiding trouble shooting. He demonstrated the feasibility of making tapered product with a simpler process.

After a short Pechiney-Zhongshan Packaging Chinese joint venture business assignment, he was reassigned to the American National Can Beverage Division. He assisted in de-veloping the Co-injection Multilayer PET bottle for Pechiney Bottle Division. In 2008 he formed TTT-Tech Inc. to provide consulting service in the multilayer plastic food can technology.

The OSHA Proposed Beryllium Standard – What You Need to Know In this session, Mr. Knudson will present the likely key provi-sions of the proposed OSHA Beryllium Standard along with in-formation and guidance to assist in the safe use and handling of copper beryllium. A key element of his presentation will be the Beryllium Worker Protection Model. The Beryllium Worker Protection Model focuses on the control of multiple exposure pathways and monitoring the effectiveness of these controls using leading measures. The Model has been successfully used at facilities manufacturing and processing beryllium and beryllium-containing materials to reduce worker exposure to airborne beryllium and minimize the potential risk of adverse health effects. Attendance at this session will be beneficial to occupational health and safety professionals as well as others involved with the prevention and control of occupational exposure to beryllium in the plastic industry.

R&D Tax Credits – Tax Savings for Innovation One of the most under-utilized tax savings opportunities for companies in the plastics industry is the U.S. Credit for In-creasing Research Activities (R&D tax credit). The R&D tax credit rewards companies who invest resources in innova-tion, product development, mold design, new materials or resins, and process development/improvement. In addition to Federal tax savings, several states have a similar program that rewards companies for the development or improvement to its products or processes. This presentation will address the point associated with this tax credit.

Biography: Michael J. Devereux II is director of manufacturing & distribution services for Mueller Prost PC. Mr. Devereux’s primary focus is on the R&D tax credit. He helps lead a group of 15 tax professionals and engineers work with their CPA to claim and substantiate the R&D tax credit. Mueller Prost’s Research Tax Credit

Group is nationally recognized and has assisted numerous companies in the plastics industry claim and substantiate their research tax credits.

2:30 pm Roger F. Jones President, Franklin International LLC
