Intertech (Portland, ME) announced that its Global Outlook for Polymer-Bonded Magnets (GOPBM) 2002 conference is being held at the Hyatt Rosemont Hotel in Chicago, IL, April 10-12, 2002. The conference will assess the business and technical outlook for polymer-bonded magnets in the next decade.
Sessions will cover market drivers and growth forecasts; development of lower-cost, higher energy materials; the impact of industry consolidation on end-users; new bonded magnet design and modeling software; and patent and licensing issues. New developments on grades for extrusion, calendaring, and injection and compression molding processes will be covered, including multi-component molding.
"About 175 are expected to attend this event," said H.D. Olmstead, magnetic materials director for Intertech.
