MANUFACTURING & PROCESSING Fundamentals of Color and Appearance 7 hours CEUs: .7 The objective of the Fundamentals of Color and Appearance course is to get a basic understanding of how to communicate and control color. Topics in this course include basic color vocabulary, color concepts on light sources, visual and numeric assessment, how an object interacts with color, and appearance and setting tolerances. Agenda: Basic Color Theory: object, observer, source Appearance: grain, gloss, texture and color Color Instruments Assessment: instrumental and visual Tolerancing Engineering with Rubber: An Introduction 14 hours CEUs: 1.4 This course will introduce engineers and others to the basics of elastomeric materials and their use as engineering materials. Day 1 – Rubber As An Engineering Material Introduction - What Polymers Are, How They Behave Elastomers - What Makes Them Up, How They Differ From Plastics Rubber Compounds - What Are They? Properties of Rubber - Their Standard Characteristics Processing Rubber - Making the Product Bonding - Sometimes Essential Engineering Properties - Flexing, Environmental Resistance, Life Dynamic Properties - Stress/Strain Responses, Test Methods Quality Control - How to Know It’s Right Specifi cations - What They Mean and Don’t Mean Day 2 – Product Design Considerations Introduction to Design Applications Rubber as an Engineering Material Vibration Isolation/Shock Absorption Load Bearing Applications Seals Dynamic Mechanical Properties Stiffness Incompressibility and Shape Factor Linear vs. Non-Linear - Linear/stiffening/Buckling (Softening) Modulus - Frequency/Strain/Temperature Damping Definitions Transmissibility Compression Set/Drift/Relaxation Component Design Shear Mount Bending Effects Compression Mount Tube Form – Radial/Torsional/Cocking Parallel vs. Serial Mountings Use of Shims in Laminates Inclined Mountings Internal Heat Generation Fatigue Considerations Vibration Isolation Focalized Systems Shock Isolation Dynamic Environments Practical Design Details Design for uniform stress Dimensional tolerances Installation Causes of Failure Typical Mountings Flexible Couplings Seals 6 RUBBER DIVISON, ACS EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
Chemistry and Technology of Polymeric Materials Used in Medical Device 8 hours CEUs: .8 The course begins with an overview of the FDA systems, terminology and guidance documents for: classifi cations of devices, obtaining FDA approvals and pre-clinical testing, including biocompatibility and biodurability testing. Included by example in the foregoing and throughout the course are a broad range of medical devices, which are manufactured wholly or substantially from elastomeric and plastic polymeric materials. These include medical latex items such as: gloves, catheters, condoms; urethane, silicone, polyamide and polyolefi n catheters; thermoplastic elastomeric blood tubing; syringes and associated accessories; UHMW and polyurethane orthopedic implants; plastic bottles, packaging and closures; and others. Key properties, chemical characteristics, and testing and analytical methods related to requisite performance characteristics of materials used in a range of products are discussed. Finally, the course reviews methods of material modifi cation through chemical backbone modifications, surface treatments, incorporation of nano materials to achieve properties such as anti-microbial properties, electrical conductivity, improved blood compatibility and/or improved biodurabilty. Those Who Should Attend: This is intended as an introductory course for materials, quality and engineering personnel who have limited knowledge of rubber and plastic materials used in medical devices. The course may also be useful to management or sales professionals new to the medical device field. There are no suggested technical pre-requisites for this course, one should need only have a general knowledge of rubber and plastics terminology to derive a signifi cant benefi t. Compounding Of Fluoroelastomers 2 hours CEUs: .2 This class will give a brief introduction to the compounding of fluoroelastomers (FKMs). FKMs are high performance elastomers well noted for their heat and chemical resistance. Topics covered will include selection of the proper fl uoroelastomer polymer, cure systems, compounding ingredients, processing, markets and applications. Chemistry and Technology of Polyurethane Elastomers 4 hours or 8 hours CEUs: .4 or .8 The course focuses on the fundamentals of elastomeric polyurethanes such as those used in coatings adhesives, sealants or elastomers (“CASE”). The course includes identification of major raw materials, an introduction to polymer chemistry and chemical structure-property relationships in elastomeric polyurethanes. Testing and analysis techniques, typical formulary and key processing methods are discussed in the context key markets such as medical device, oil fi eld, materials handling, architectural, and materials handling applications. Those Who Should Attend: Product engineers, managers, quality professionals and Jr. or Sr. level chemists. Suggested pre-requisites include general technical aptitude and general familiarity of technical terminology related to chemistry and rubber or plastic materials. Course Outline: 1. Introduction: CASE market overview 2. Polymer and functional group chemistry of polyurethanes 3. Structure-property relationships and key raw materials 4. Testing and analytical methods 5. Processing Methods 6. Case examples of typical polyurethane formulary.
