Tire Technology Expo 2009
After last year's success RC will be exhibiting again at this year's Tire Tech Expo (TTE), held in Hamburg, Germany from 17th-19th February 2009. Now in its ninth year in Europe, TTE is the world's most important tyre design and manufacturing technology exhibition and conference with over 130 companies exhibiting.
Rubber Consultants can be found at stand No. 4348
TTE offers the visitor a technology showcase covering materials and equipment through the complete spectrum of the tyre design and manufacturing process. TTE also offers visitors, exhibitors, and conference delegates an unrivalled networking opportunity within the tyre design and manufacturing sector.
As part of the conference, which runs alongside the exhibition, RC scientists have been invited to give presentations again this year. The morning session held on Thursday 19th February entitled 'Natural Rubber: The Evolving Polymer' has been organised by TARRC's Director of Research, Dr Andrew Tinker. The session will also be chaired by Dr Tinker. The presentations by RC scientists are:
