The Center for Adhesive and Sealant Science's Efficient Testing of Adhesives and Sealants course, will be held Oct. 27-29, in Blacksburg, VA.

The Center for Adhesive and Sealant Science's Efficient Testing of Adhesives and Sealants course, held Oct. 27-29, in Blacksburg, VA, will teach: understanding and selection of appropriate test methods to measure relevant properties; improving consistency through understanding and controlling-surface, polymer, and test variables; taking advantage of statistical procedures, such as design of experiment (DOE) concepts to reduce the number of tests required; making use of combinatorial and parallel formulation techniques to speed product development; taking advantage of accelerated characterization techniques to speed polymer and bond testing; and more.
