Latex and Synthetic Polymer Dispersions 2008

Madrid, Spain, 23-24 January 2008

Conference Proceedings, 2008

Drawing authorities from industry and academia, this conferenceoffered the ideal platform to hear original technical papers andmeet and exchange ideas with like-minded peers from across theworld. Now in its fifth year the conference provided crucialupdates on the latest trends and developments in natural latex,aqueous synthetic polymer latices, processing chemicals andadditives.

Topics addressed included new materials, machinery and equipmentdevelopments, application methods, standards & regulatoryrequirements, materials testing, quality control and market trends.

More specifically, papers provided insight into many keydevelopments and solutions to the key issues of the latex sector.These included:

Novel methods of reducing protein levels in natural rubber

Accelerators and cross-linking agents potentially offering improvedtoxicological performance

Development of new synthetic latices with modified characteristics

Latest developments in the field of nanoscience achieved bycombining different polymers and inorganic materials and theirpractical applications

Increasing application of aqueous systems in the adhesive industry
