SUMMARY:Spring Technical Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Agenda:\n4:00 – Dinner Ticket / Membership Sales \n4:30 – Technical Presentations \n6:00 – Social Hour \n7:00 – Dinner \nAdvanced Reservations:  $35 each     ***Without prior reservation:  $40 each (limited number available) \nEmail reservations to Mary Puskas at mpuskas@littlern.com OR mail to Ohio Rubber Group\, PO Box 341\, Bath\, OH 44210 \nSpring Technical Meeting Information and Reservation Form\n\n  \nTechnical Presentations:\n****Please turn off cell phones during the presentations**** \n  \nGeneral Considerations in Failure Analysis of Rubber and Plastics\nDr. Jason Poulton\, Senior Technical Advisor\, Akron Rubber Development Laboratory \nRubber and plastics will fail in a variety of unexpected fashions.  A sound approach to assigning a root cause to a failure is almost always based on the foundation of the classical Scientific Method.  This presentation will describe real world failure analysis projects from ARDL customers as well as the variety of analytical testing and reasoning used to assign root causes.  If you have attended a presentation with the same title in the past\, don’t worry……….our industry has no shortage of unexpected product failures so real world examples covered in previous presentations are constantly replaced with more recent examples. \n  \nBioinspired Material Design from 3D Printed Rubber\nArnob Banik\,  ORG Scholarship Recipient\, Global Technology Intern\, The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company\, PhD Candidate\, Mechanical Engineering\, The University of Akron \nBiomimicry\, which means “mimicking nature”\, enables scientists and engineers to learn how the science of special animal features can be applied to solve human problems and provide desired technological outcomes. Researchers have identified the potential to remain stable on flooded surfaces in some tree and torrent frogs with the help of their toe-pads. So\, the dynamic friction performance of frog toe-pad-inspired surface patterns are investigated and compared them to a sample tire tread design. Three types of frog toe-pad-inspired designs were modeled and fabricated using Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) material by 3D printing technology. Moreover\, The Echinocyamus pusillus (sea urchin)\, a versatile marine invertebrate\, is well known for its skeletal structural design with excellent strength due to its overall shape and internal supports. Being inspired by the structures of the sea urchin\, the impact tolerance of uniquely designed models has been examined. Specimens were manufactured through 3D printing using flexible TangoPlus FLX930 material to study the  effects of buttress thicknesses\, number\, and spacing. Future work focuses on building bioinspired double core sandwich composite using additive manufacturing. Hence\, the top core will be prepared using rubbery material mimicking the woodpecker’s head structure or to absorb greater energy from impact. \n  \nMost Effective Tests for Measuring Quality of Mix when Using Recycled Rubber Powders\nJohn Dick\, Richard Hanzlik\, Alpha Technologies \nThe consumption of recycled rubber powder (RRP) for use in factory rubber compounds has been increasing greatly to improve the sustainability of today’s rubber industry worldwide.  In the last twenty years\, several new ASTM test methods have been developed for effectively measuring the quality of mix in the factory.  This study was conducted to measure the quality of mix using these different ASTM procedures when RRP was included in the rubber compounds. \n

SUMMARY:Winter Technical Meeting
DESCRIPTION:This event will be conducted via Webinar. \n**Please RSVP to Mary Puskas at mpuskas@littlern.com.  After you register\, Mary will send you the Zoom information.\n  \nTechnical Presentations:\n“Engineering Academy Polymer Testing Course at Stow-Monroe Falls High School” \nDavid Helmick\, Engineering Academy Polymer Testing Instructor\, Stow-Munroe Falls High School. \nStudents in the Academy learn about Polymers\, CAD\, electronics robotics programming\, and manufacturing industries. Mr. Helmick is also starting a new career program at Stow High school titled Modern Manufacturing for Employment; which focuses on training junior students about manufacturing practices and gets them placed at jobs their senior year to leave school to begin work in the manufacturing field. Mr. Helmick is currently looking for companies to partner with to help employers with developmental talent. \n Mr. Helmick‘s initial partnership with the Ohio Rubber Group began when ORG donated two new lab bench workstations to the polymers lab at Stow. This turned unused lab space into valuable learning space for the students which proved significantly beneficial during Covid to allow social distancing to take place.  \n  \n“Building Ohio’s Elastomer Resiliency in Challenging Times” \nPaul Boulier\, Vice President for Industry and Innovation\, Team NEO. \nPaul serves as the Vice President for Industry and Innovation at Team NEO.  He is responsible for developing and executing direct-to-company business growth and attraction for Team NEO in the region’s core industries; including Energy\, Oil & Gas\, Metal Fabrication and Machinery; Polymers\, Elastomers\, Chemicals and Coatings\, as well as Packaging and Transportation. \nTeam NEO is a privately-funded regional business attraction and growth organization.  It is a nonprofit that markets Northeast Ohio to the world\, attracts new businesses and helps those that are here grow.  Team NEO is the Northeast Ohio regional partner for JobsOhio\, a private\, nonprofit corporation that drives economic development and job creation for the State\, as well as working closely with economic development organizations across 18 counties. \n
