… has happened last week (25.-28.02.2018) in Houston, Texas. SPE South Texas has organised the annual Polyolefins Conference, and more than 700 participants followed the invitation. TCKT was represented there by Christoph Burgstaller, who presented a talk about „Influence of composition and compatibilisation on the properties of polyethylene based blends“, which found a lot of interest in the audience. We got new contacts to colleagues from R&D and industry, and also got new ideas and inputs from the colocated exhibition, which will be considered in our research projects.
