CHARPLAST: International Seminar on Plastics Characterization
Presentation
Characterization techniques are essential in the plastics sector, ensuring quality, reliability, and safety while minimizing the risk of failures in manufacturing processes and promoting sustainability.
The seminar will explore key innovations and trends in the field, with a particular focus on advanced characterization techniques; certifications related to recycled content, recyclability, reuse, biodegradability, and compostability; microplastics analysis; quality control in packaging for food safety; resistance to external agents; and quality control in the automotive sector.
The event will feature leading experts from both industry and academia, who will share their knowledge and expertise. This seminar serves as a key meeting point for professionals from various sectors including the plastics industry, academia, regulatory bodies, and reference laboratories providing them with the necessary tools to make informed decisions, develop innovative products, and strengthen their businesses.
Programme
The plastics sector faces increasingly complex challenges due to the wide range of applications, growing sustainability requirements, and the demand for products with specific properties. Advanced characterization techniques have become essential to overcoming these challenges. These methodologies provide a detailed analysis of the physical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of plastics, playing a crucial role in ensuring the quality, performance, and safety of final products.
The characterization of plastic materials aimed at improving sustainability plays a key role in developing more environmentally friendly and efficient solutions within the sector. As the demand for sustainable plastics increases, it is crucial to have advanced techniques that assess material properties such as recyclability, biodegradability, resistance to environmental degradation, and performance under various usage conditions.
This session will focus on analysis techniques for monitoring and mitigating emerging contaminants associated with plastic materials, which are essential for addressing the environmental and health risks related to the use and disposal of these materials. Plastics, being highly durable and persistent in the environment, can release toxic compounds or pollutants that impact both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers significant potential to revolutionize the characterization of plastic materials by enhancing the efficiency, accuracy, and predictive capability of analysis processes. Through the use of advanced algorithms and machine learning, AI can process large volumes of data obtained from various characterization techniques, such as spectroscopy, electron microscopy, or thermal analysis, to identify complex patterns and correlations that would be difficult to detect manually.
Characterization techniques play a crucial role in quality control within the plastics industry, as they ensure that the materials and products manufactured meet the required performance, safety, and durability standards. Through these techniques, it is possible to accurately analyze and measure the physical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of plastics, ensuring that the final products are consistent with the technical and functional specifications required by clients and regulations.
