3. (7-8 December 2016)(7-8 December 2016)
Engineering with Rubber: The "Engineering with Rubber" short course is designed for both engineering and non-
engineering rubber industry professionals. It will provide the knowledge to understand rubber as an engineering material. The sessions in the course will focus on
such varied subjects as linear and non-linear elasticity, design concepts applied to developing rubber components; besides providing an overall subject matter view
of static and dynamic material and product testing. Compression Molding of Rubber: This training course presents the principles of compression molding
including basic mold designs as well as more complex compression mold designs. Mold designs using transverse parting lines are compared to mold designs using
positive parting lines are discussed in detail. Processing techniques are presented to optimize and enhance the capabilities of effective compression molding
methods. Vacuum applications for compression molding are presented. Wasteless/Flashless Rubber Molding: This technical training seminar covers the
principles of Flashless Rubber Molding and Wasteless Rubber Molding. The techniques, mold designs, and general information presented will assist practitioners in
their efforts to integrate and/or improve wasteless and/or flashless molding into their operations. Rubber Compound Development for Water Applications:
Rubber products for construction and industrial application have its own specifications, which are different from automotive specifications. One portion of this market
is the sealing for food & drug applications. The market segment for drinking water application becomes more and more important caused by the increasing world
population with water consumption of two litres per person and day. There is an increasing attention because of the effect on human health, which is the reason for
more demanding government regulation (FDA, KTW - GE, EU-Regulation). The focuses of the regulations are the migration of compound ingredients into the water.
The regulations are influencing the selection of raw materials for the compounds and finally their physical properties. In this seminar an overview of the regulations
are given and their effect on compounding is discussed. The participants will have the opportunity to design compounds for the different applications in a workshop,
which concludes the seminar. Rubber Rheology and Influence in Rubber Processing: Performance of rubber in the different processes depends on its
rheological properties. In almost all processes it has something to do with flow of rubber compounds in contact with a steel surface. Flow depends on polarity of the
polymer, the viscosity and on shear velocity and temperature. Flow is effected by the molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and branching as well. The
effects are influencing mixing, milling, extrusion and molding at large. In this seminar the participant will learn, how compound design is affected by all these effects
and how the compounder should consider these dependencies.
Dr. Hans-Joachim Graf: has over thirty five years’ experience in the rubber industry. He was first with manufacturing companies for
pharmaceutical and technical rubber parts. He then joined DESMA a manufacturer of Rubber Injection molding and polyurethane shoe
machines responsible for process development, followed by Rhein-Chemie as senior manager of material developments for rubber industry. After Cooper Standard Automotive (CAN),
division of profile extrusion, as a director of materials he was with WOCO (GE), a manufacturer of injection molded parts in charge for material development and process design. Mr. Graf
has authored over 60 publications and paper presentations and invented more than 15 patents. He has given a rubber technology course for graduates at University of Waterloo and is
teaching courses in recipe design and industrial bonding at University of Hannover (GE) continuing education department. He is a member of the American Chemical Society, Deutsche
Chemische Gesellchaft and Deutsche Kautschuk Gesellschaft. He received his diploma degree from University of Mainz and his doctorate in polymer chemistry from University of Freiburg,
both Germany. During DKT'12 (German Rubber Conference 2012) he was awarded with the Erich-Konrad Medal of the DKG (German Rubber Society). Currently, he is providing consulting
and educational services for rubber industries around the world through TechnoBiz, the Rubber Industry Resource Center. Van Walworth is a product design and development specialist.
Van has a BS degree from the University of Alabama in mechanical engineering drafting and design, and has become a well-known “hands on practitioner”. Most of his primary application
skills are focused on products manufactured from materials related to the rubber, plastic, & pipe industries. In many circles he is known as “The Ideaguy” or as “The Rubber Whisperer”.
Van is an internationally recognized technical educator for in-plant seminars, and university level continuing professional education programs. He is a published author of many technical
papers as well of the author of the book “Rubber Molding Principles” first published in 2013 and the creator of a series of Troubleshooting Charts for processing rubber, all published and
distributed by TechnoBiz. His professional career spans over three decades holding executive management positions with industry leading companies practicing product R&D, mold design,
tooling & equipment design, process establishment & improvement, reverse engineering, troubleshooting, project management, and spontaneous creativity. His creative approach and
understanding of the patent process has been instrumental in the preparation, prosecution, and granting of over thirty patents, with many more currently pending. Van is President of
TechnoBiz-USA, Inc., established in Tennessee, USA as a partnership joint venture with the TechnoBiz Group which is based in Bangkok, Thailand. Kartik Srinivas has a Master's degree
in Mechanical Engineering from Wright State University, USA. He is a consulting mechanical engineer with extensive background and experience in product engineering using simulation
technologies and mechanical testing. Kartik provides Finite Element Analysis (FEA) solutions to a broad range of industries and is well versed with material and product testing as per ASTM
and ISO standards. Kartik has 7 technical papers to his credit and has been the chair of the session on automotive composites at the SAE World Congress from 2006 through 2011. He has
volunteered as a reviewer for the Journal of Rubber Chemistry and Technology.
