The next AMI international conference on Minerals in Compounding 2010 will take place December 1-2, 2010 at The Hilton Atlanta in the lively city of Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Minerals are a major proportion of the additives used in compounding polymers with a key role in cost reduction as fillers.  Many have other functions to add value, for example as flame retardants, conductive components and pigments.  The mineral particle size, shape, surface area, matrix compatibility and dispersion are all important factors affecting performance. It is also critical to understand mineral chemistry to choose the best products for each polymer. Surface treatments and modifiers can be utilized to improve mineral-polymer interaction and dispersion.  
 
Minerals in Compounding 2010 offers lively interaction between an international panel of speakers and delegates which stimulates debate in all sectors. The event also provides a comprehensive overview of the latest materials, technology and market trends.
