Extrusion International 1-2023

17 Extrusion International 1/2023 International Conference "Polymer Replication on Nanoscale"  Processes for the cost-effective production of micro- and nanostruc- tured surfaces from polymer material are in great demand for the industrial mass production of functional films and molded components. Existing in - jection molding and roll-to-roll pro- cesses often cannot yet achieve the required throughput and sufficiently high reproducibility for many prom- ising product ideas. The ninth inter - national conference "Polymer Rep- lication on Nanoscale" (PRN), which will take place in Aachen, Germany, on June 1 and 2, 2023, will therefore focus on processes for more efficient production of functional nanostruc- tured surfaces and present possible solutions. Researchers and companies work- ing on these topics can submit a one- page abstract until March 31, 2023, to be selected as a presenter at the con- ference. Online registration for the conference is also open now. The conference series has been held since 2014 at alternating research lo- cations in Denmark, Switzerland and Germany and has established itself as an important international forum for leading experts in the field of repli - cation of micro- and nanostructured polymer materials. The aim of the con - ferences is to network and exchange information on developments, re- search results and future visions for polymer micro- and nanomanufactur- ing and its applications. The two-day event will be framed by a social pro- gram of guided tours and an evening networking event. The conference will offer par- ticipants presentations of selected speakers around the large-scale repli- cation of micro- and nanostructures in polymer materials. For an opportunity to participate in the conference as a speaker, a one- page abstract of the proposed pre- sentation should be emailed as a PDF to: prn@ipt.fraunhofer.de; Subject: PRN2023 Abstract [NAME] for [LEC- TURE/POSTER] Presentation.

With this move Messe Düsseldorf expands its wire and Tube portfolio in the direction of Turkey and Asia. wire and Tube Eurasia will initially be run as an investment business venture during the two Turkish trade fairs Wire Tech Istanbul and Tube + Steel Istanbul. These two events are held by Tüyap Fair Istanbul, the leading Turkish trade fair organiser and venue operator, at the Tüyap Fair Convention and Congress Center. From 2025 wire and Tube Eurasia will then be organised as independent trade fairs at two-year intervals. Messe Düsseldorf GmbH www.wire-eurasia.com www.tube-eurasia.com
