Welcome to Cincinnati and the 2007 SAMPE Fall 

Technical Conference and Exhibition! 

SAMPE Thanks Our 

Conference Sponsors 

The Midwest Chapter of SAMPE is delighted that you are with us in Cincinnati to 

gain new perspectives on the many faces of advanced materials technology! 

Our theme is “From Art to Science: Advancing Materials & Process Engineering.” 

It is a theme that reminds us of the incredible journey that our community has 

taken — from creating materials by trial and error to creation through modeling, 

simulation and scientific principles. The early foundations of our technology often 

rest on the “art” that people practiced, and the many artistic facets of Cincinnati 

and the Hilton Netherland Plaza Hotel serve as constant reminders of the 

importance of the “art” and the part it has played in our growth. 

Our conference bursts into action on Monday with 11 tutorials, including several 

first-time offerings that represent exciting and emerging trends facing the materials 

and process community. Tuesday kicks off with Barbara Sanders, Director of 

Core Product Engineering and Engineering Operations at Delphi Thermal Systems 

and a great innovator in composites technology, as our Keynote Speaker. From 

there we begin exciting and informative technical sessions in several relevant 

areas of M&P. The sessions also include four Key Technology Tracks focus areas 

- Nanotechnology, Propulsion, Computational Materials, and Morphing Materials; 

these Technology Tracks combine several forums for educating and informing 

that include tutorials, panels, and technical papers. 

The Exhibit Halls will be open for two full days, and are overflowing with impressive 

technologies from local and non-local exhibitors. 

Social and networking opportunities will also be abundant with a Tuesday evening 

Welcome Reception, our Wednesday evening Riverboat Cruise & Dinner, and the 

Thursday Luncheon talk on “The Science of Art Conservation” by Stephen D. 

Bonadies. 

In addition, full package conference attendees will receive a SAMPE calendar 

that incorporates science-based art to highlight each month of the year. In keeping 

with our theme, a science-based art contest was held over the summer and the 

top images selected for inclusion in this SAMPE calendar. The winner of that 

contest has won a free trip to New York! Their entry as well as many others will 

not only be included in the calendar, but also displayed at the conference. 

We hope you enjoy your time in Cincinnati and leave with new knowledge, new 

friends and renewed energy for our industry!

Keynote 

8:30 AM - 9:45 AM 

Hall of Mirrors, Cincinnati Hilton Netherland Plaza, 3 rd floor 

The Evolution of Automotive Composites-From Art to 

Science 

Barbara A. Sanders 

Director of Advanced Development and Engineering Processes 

Delphi Thermal Systems, Troy, MI 

A view of the evolution of automotive composites gives a good perspective on how 

composite materials, in general, have evolved from an art to a science over the last 

thirty years. Automotive composite materials/technology started as an art form with 

formulations that were virtually "a pinch of this and a dash of that" and usually based 

upon a chemist or formulator's feel for what was right. Today science and analysis 

actually play a major role in how composites are developed and applied. For those 

of us who have watched the technology grow and change through the years, it is clear 

that there is much more sophistication and less of the "Let's try this and see" approach. 

This tremendous change in automotive composites reflects the focus for the 

discussion, while concurrently representing the trends in progress across the many 

other major industries with significant composite materials usage. 

Ms. Sanders has developed an extensive knowledge of polymers and composite 

materials during her 35 year career at General Motors and Delphi. She recently 

received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the SPE Automotive Division, an 

award only given five times before, and has also received the U.S. Black Engineer 

Award. She holds a masters degree in Physics from Rutgers University.

morphing structures. Adaptive structures can be defined as load bearing systems that 

reconfigure in response to the environment or mission need for enhanced performance. 

These structures are enabled by materials capable of changing their intrinsic 

mechanical, electrical, optical, and/or thermal properties upon triggering. Shapechanging 

vehicles such as those envisioned for morphing Unmanned Air Vehicles 

(UAV'S) and responsive automotive systems will be discussed with particular attention 

given to current progress in Shape Memory Polymers (SMP).

Luncheon 

11:30 AM - 1:00 PM 


The Science of Art Conservation 

Stephen Bonadies 

Chief Conservator, Cincinnati Art Museum 


For generations, art conservation has largely been practiced as a craft. New technologies 

now available to study a work of art not only have increased our understanding 

of the materials that make up a work of art, but also of how these materials 

have aged over time and how a conservation treatment may potentially alter an 

object. A brief overview of the impact of technology on art conservation will be 

presented with an emphasis on scientific knowledge and tools utilized today. 

Stephen D. Bonadies, chief conservator at the Cincinnati Art Museum, received his 

initial conservation training at the Cooperstown Graduate Program. After receiving 

his M.A., he became a Mellon Fellow at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In 1980 

Bonadies returned to the Art Conservation Program at Cooperstown to teach conservation 

science. In 1981 he was appointed to the staff of the Cincinnati Art Museum. 

Luncheon vouchers are included with a four day conference registrations. Additional 

vouchers may be purchased for $28 at the SAMPE registration counter. To receive 

admission to the luncheon, vouchers must be redeemed for tickets at the SAMPE 

registration counter by 5:00 PM Wednesday, October 31.
