The Conference Chairman will once again be William C (Bill) Smith, Principal, Industrial Textile Associates, USA, who originated and developed the conference series as Editor of the Journal of Coated Fabrics (now the Journal of Industrial Textiles), and most recently has edited a new book on ‘Smart/Intelligent Coating and Laminating’.
International experts will discuss topics including:
testing
Subjects for discussion will include the latest updates on: coatings for flame retardancy, heat resistance, water repellency, weather resistance, and ballistic protection; technologies such as plasma technology, UV curing, infrared treatment and hotmelt systems; and coating materials including nanocoatings, ceramic coatings, silicone coatings and hotmelt coatings, along with smart/intelligent coatings and laminates.
