Since the first conference in 1991, the International Conference on Wood & Biofiber Plastic Composites has brought together international experts from the scientific, technical, and commercial communities to encourage the exchange and dissemination of information on the latest advances and future opportunities for these materials. Alternating years with its Canadian counterpart, this biennial spring conference has evolved into the largest of its kind.
We will continue this tradition at the 10th International Conference on May 11-12, 2009, where a two-track format of formal presentations will explore the nature, structure, performance, markets and issues concerning wood/natural fiber-plastic composites. An evening reception on May 11 will feature poster presentations and industrial exhibits by researchers and suppliers of materials, equipment, products, and technical services.
Wednesday, May 13, 2009
In addition to the conference, a Cellulose Nanocomposites Symposium will be held on May 13, 2009. A select group of speakers will inform attendees on the latest research on these nanocomposites made from polymers and cellulose nanocrystals or nanofibrils. A mid-day poster session will provide an opportunity for networking about this new class of nano-materials.
Topics
Student Contest
As in our 2007 conference, awards will again be given to the best student presentation/poster (sponsored by Ontario Sawdust).
Reception
A Monday evening reception will feature poster presentations and industrial exhibits by researchers and suppliers of materials, equipment, products, and technical services.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsorship opportunities are available for special recognition during the conference. Conference literature will include sponsor logos. Various levels of sponsorship are available.
