 Print this article | Send to Colleague
TAPPI is offering a presentation forum for researchers and coating technologists to present their findings among colleagues concerning coating fundamentals or leading edge developments relating to paper surface treatment, converting and printing operations. The 11th Annual Coating Fundamentals Symposium will be held October 11-13, 2010, in Munich, Germany.
The Technical Program Committee has tentatively planned sessions to include the following subject matter:
- Advanced understanding and developments of paper coating processes and structures
- chemistry and interactions
- coating structure and functional process properties
- mathematical and computational modelling
- Advanced understanding of paper requirements (including surface characterization)
- calendering / finishing
- printing and functional imaging, e.g. electronic printing
- converting
- Sustainability: Advances at the forefront
- sustainable components and processing (including e.g. energy saving, coating recycling)
- sustainable products (e.g. bioactive and barrier coatings, binder systems)
Deadlines: Extended abstracts are due to TAPPI by February 1, 2010; full manuscript drafts are due April 19, 2010; final manuscripts will be due June 30, 2010. Authors interested in being a speaker or poster presenter should send their abstract(s) as an email attachment and cover message to Advcoat@tappi.org. All manuscripts will also be considered for potential publication in TAPPI JOURNAL. If you encounter any difficulty sending your abstract, please contact Craig McKinney at +1 770-209-7294 or cmckinney@tappi.org.
