| In the
line of "European
Thermoforming" and "Additives
& Colors Europe", SPE invites European
members as well as non-members to join in
the formation of a Special Interest Group
dedicated to Polymer matrix Composites. As
with every new European Division "Polymer
Composites" SIG will operate mainly in Europe
still aiming at international resonance as
does the current Composites Division operating
mainly in North America.
A first contact meeting was held in Baden-Baden
September 18, 2005 with professionals from
the industry and from universities. The second
was in Essen in 2006.
For more information, contact one of the
following members:
Jean-Marie Liégeois - L.M.P.C. - Université
de Liège, Belgium

Frank Henning - Institut fur Chemical Technology
- Fraunhofer Institute in Pfinztal, Germany

Division Scope:
It will be the purpose of the “Composites
Europe” SIG to promote scientific
and engineering knowledge relating to
applications, materials, tooling, machinery,
and processing techniques for the composites
industry in Europe. The SIG will encourage
its members to contribute, solicit,
and accumulate such knowledge and disseminate
the same through publications and technical
meetings.
It will further be the SIG’s objective
to assist other entities within the
Society of Plastics Engineers in organizing
all major technical programs in which
there is any composites content. It
will further be the SIG’s objective
to coordinate with other interested
national and international societies,
organizations, and educational institutions
for the purpose of propagating the understanding
of composites applications, materials,
tooling, machinery, and processing as
defined by the SIG.
