Related to the 9th edition of MYDA - Millennium Yacht Design Award - the conferences is scheduled for the 8th of February and the topics will be discussed by pre-eminent names of the academic world, yacht industry and design. The 9th MYDA award ceremony and presentation of the winning projects will follow.

A conference dedicated to materials, polymers and composites eco sustainables.
Compotec, the Italian Composites Show, as usual very attentive to the newest challenges, understands the importance of the environmental problems and dedicates this edition to green materials and eco-sustainability, presenting this Conference that will discuss the subject of composites materials characterised by a reduced environmental impact of raw materials, processes, products and recycling.

A matter of consequence
Sustainability, industrial ecology, eco-efficiency, green chemistry and new laws, are pushing the development of the next generation of materials, products, and processes. Bio-Composites (Natural/Biofiber) are emerging as a viable alternative to glass fiber reinforced composites especially in automotive and building product applications. The combination of biofibers such as kenaf, hemp, flax, jute and sisal with polymer matrices from both nonrenewable and renewable resources to produce composite materials that are competitive with synthetic composites requires special attention, i.e., biofiber-matrix interface and novel processing. Natural fiber/reinforced polypropylene composites have attained commercial attraction in automotive industries. Using natural fibers with polymers based on renewable resources will allow many environmental issues to be solved.

Object of the Conference
The road towards really "green" composites is still very long, nevertheless Compotec is an exhibition aimed to innovation and this Conference will introduce new technologies and new products and invite both producers and users to confront and discuss in order to get answers to questions and doubts.
The Conference will take place over two days, 8 and 9 February. Industry technicians, researchers, designers, producers and distributors, will present the latest news of the sector.
Chairmen are Prof. Marino Quaresimin and Ing.Alberto Cimadoro.
Participants will be composites industry representatives, technicians, designers, distributors, academics, researchers.

MathFem promotes and supports RTM-Worx developed by Polyworx, the innovative flow simulation software for RTM and CVI, reducing prototype costs and increasing the quality of the finished product. With scientific and mathematically precise methods RTM-Worx can analyse the physical phenomena which occur during moulding on the computer, hence: 

• visualise the resin's flow path
• calculate and reduce injection timeassess the impact of variations in resin and fabric properties
• assess the impact of variations in resin and fabric properties
  
• optimize location of runners, injection and venting ports
• eliminate dry spots 
• establish the process window

Unifilo® is a continuous filament mat chemically bond. The technical limit of Unifilo® is the lack of deformation which makes it inappropriate for moulds of complex shapes. For this reason, during the last years, OCV ITALIA developed a new concept of continuous filament mat mechanically bond: Uniconform®. This new type of bond has made it possible for continuous filament mats to be highly drapable, ideal for the use of closed moulds.

Furthermore, since years OCV ITALIA has been producing Unifilo® preforms for RTM technologies. Respect to the basic Unifilo®, these preforms allow an immediate dressing of the mould but nevertheless have the inconvenience of not completely filling the mould in correspondence of sharp angles. Thanks to further development it was possible to carry out a new concept of preform, working with the advantages of Uniconform®. The Uniconform® preform allows a quick dressing, ensures total filling of the mould and improves the surface aspect of the moulded part. 

Aim of the event

MATHFEM, in collaboration with OCV ITALIA, will give a demonstration of the application of preforms in fiber in the RTM light technique supported by computational process simulation techniques.

Programme

• 15:00 Welcome, presentation of MATHFEM, Eng. Gianluca Massaccesi
• 15:10 Presentation of OCV ITALIA, Eng. Manuela Astro
• 15:15 Demonstration of light RTM process and computational simulation techniques
• 15:45 Questions and answers
• 16:00 Close
