ANTEC 2008 New Technology Forums
produced by the SPE New Technology Committee
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
Both sessions will be conducted at the
Midwest Express Center.
Monday, May 5
Data Management,
Modeling, Simulation and Prediction of Polymer
Performance
Session Moderators: Gene Kim and Vassilios
Galiatsatos
1:30 pm-6 pm
Explore how the use of computer simulation and modeling has affected the way we design, synthesize, characterize and process polymeric materials. This complex and multi-faceted topic encompasses molecular, thermo-mechanical, and flow simulation, as well as the management and mining of data in polymer analysis and characterization databases.

Advances in Polymers
from Renewable Resources
Session Moderators: Krishna Venkataswamy
and Maggie Baumann
1:30 pm-6:00 pm
This session will focus on "green chemistry"-advances
in polymers derived from renewable resources instead
of oil, especially in applications such as packaging
and reinforcement, and in the ongoing quest for
biodegradability of post-consumer plastic products.
