Only horror scenarios with plastics? - Not with us!

In the meantime, plastic is shown in the relevant media almost only in connection with environmental pollution and tortured animals.

Meanwhile, plastic is almost only shown in the relevant media in connection with environmental pollution and tortured animals.

But although waste disposal and plastic waste management are important issues, we should not forget that plastic is one of the most versatile materials whose potential is far from exhausted.

Today, there is a wide range of additives such as fillers, color particles, fibers and metal platelets that make enormous additional properties of plastics and elastomers possible. For example, short or longer fibers can greatly enhance strength properties, or adding copper platelets can increase thermal conductivity.

Plastics and elastomers are per se a highly nonlinear matter that places high demands on the calculation, especially when additives are mixed in.

To take 30 years of plastics calculation at Merkle & Partner to a new level, we have added plastics to our homepage.

Visit us at www.merkle-partner.de/de/leistungen/nach-thema/kunststoff/ to learn how we can also help you calculate your components efficiently and accurately.

We also recommend that you attend our Plastics Symposium, where you can exchange ideas with us and other experts in person:

On Nov. 13, 2019 from 2-6 p.m., we offer a beginner's seminar on plastics technology, where we focus more on calculation basics. This seminar is aimed at designers, calculation engineers and project managers who want to deal more with the topic of plastics and elastomers in the future.
On 14.11.2019 from 09 am to approx. 5 pm we will show a mixture of industry presentations and current research results from our research project SmartSim. This year's special topic is the effect of media influence on plastics.
In this case, of course, it's not about press and co, but about the behavior of other aggressive media, such as oil, water, etc.

The best thing to do is to register right away and secure one of the coveted places early on. We look forward to seeing you.

Your Stefan Merkle

PS: And when it comes to the collection of plastic waste in the oceans, we are of course happy to help.
