Spanish plastics technology centre Aimplas (Valencia; www.aimplas.net) is holding the second edition of its international seminar on new materials, entitled “Plastics are Future” (www.plasticsarefuture.com), which will run from 24-25 April 2018 in Valencia. The event concerns innovations in advanced polymer materials for the medical, aeronautics, automotive, packaging and energy sectors, including industry 4.0, plastronics (materials for extreme conditions) and coatings as well as hybrid and sustainable materials.

Researchers and industry experts will present the latest technological advances in plastic materials in the two-day programme. More than 150 professionals and experts are expected to attend, and will be shown innovations in materials for energy storage, for use in electric cars or electronics, as well as anti-icing developments to increase the durability of renewable energy facilities, for example. In the healthcare industry, there are new smart markers and materials to improve diagnosis in cancer treatment, new materials to facilitate the growth and regeneration of tissue and 3D printing of biomaterials.
