Event: Changing Refractories in a Changing World
Location: Rotherham-Holiday Inn
2009’s Institute of Refractory Engineers (IRE) Conference will take place on the 29th September with the theme of:
Changing Refractories in a Changing World
This will be the Institute’s 49th event since its beginnings in 1959. Technical Papers from all sectors of the refractory industry are invited for submission, with abstracts required by the 28th February 2009.
The Programme’s Theme will be to cover all mainstream aspects currently of interest to Refractory Engineers, including;
• the effect of and responses to the current economic downturn (Steel, Cement, Petrochemicals..)
• new opportunities in the Energy sector; new project opportunities in the UK
• trends in the growing use of recycled raw materials
• growing environmental considerations…

Event: Rapid Manufacturing - Application, Technology and Market Implementation Strategies
Location: Web Seminar 10.30am on the 13th November 2007
Lasting approximately 1-hour, Dr Phil Reeves, Managing Director Econolyst Ltd, will discuss the emergence of Rapid Manufacturing or RM as a mainstream production solution.
Dr Reeves will start by outlining the background to RM and the application of Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) Technologies for production part manufacture. After placing RM into context with other ALM applications, the seminar will then discuss the value that RM could add to a business before highlighting some of the barriers to technology adoption. Phil will look at both the business drivers and customer benefits that RM can enable.
Focusing initially on market acceptance, Phil will look at a number of application based case studies before detailing a structured methodology for assessing the technological barriers to RM adoption.
Finally, the seminar will discuss global and future trends and the market application of RM as a solution to sustainable wealth creation.

Event: Increasing the uptake of FRP Composites in Construction, the Opportunities and Barriers
Location: 5th December 2007, 11 Upper Belgrave Street, London, UK
The construction industry is under constant pressure to produce durable structures that are lighter, stronger and quicker to build. Developments in FRP (fibre reinforced polymer) composites have generated exciting results in bridges, buildings and other structures. But the potential for extensive implementation remains largely untapped.
Applications for FRP are rapidly evolving. Reduced mass, corrosion resistance and superior weight-strength ratios offer significant benefits in the built environment. From an initial range of niche uses to industry-wide delivery, the potential for implementation is limited only by creative design and imagination.
Major asset-owners are fostering innovation and steadily increasing FRP use in both reinforcement and new-build projects. With high-profile clients driving uptake, the volume of work incorporating FRP components is set to experience unprecedented growth.
Event: Materials UK Energy Materials - Strategic Research Agenda Launch
Location: 4th December 2007, Tate Britain, London, UK
There will be a launch of the Energy Materials Strategic Research Agenda in the Clore Auditorium, The SRA will be formally launched by Malcolm Wicks, Minister of State for Energy.
The capture, transportation and storage of carbon dioxide emissions which result as a by-product of energy generation is currently one of the most important technological challenges to the UK. Successful capture and storage of CO2 would enable energy generation which is environmentally sustainable, socially acceptable, affordable and secure. This afternoon conference aims to take a more detailed look at the transportation and storage issues that dominate the industry. These include pipeline engineering, potential storage sites and networks in the North Sea, injection strategies and the monitoring of CO2 once injected, the impact of storage on the marine environment, market implications, and the government's carbon abatement technology programme.

Event: EEDA FP7 Nanotechnologies, Materials & New Production Technologies Event
Location: 20th November 2007, Cranfield University
Companies from the East of England's manufacturing sector who have ideas for new production techniques, including the adaptation of current techniques or that have ideas or need advice and access to experts in the field on how nanotechnology can add value to their current product range. Companies with the strategic aim of translating their current customer-supplier relationship to one of value-added innovative partnering will certainly benefit.
Event: Nanoparticle Apllications: Industry Meets Academia
Location: 22nd November 2007- Pride Park Stadium, Pride Park, Derby..... See us there!!
There is currently much debate concerning the future of nanotechnology and the potential breakthroughs that might be achieved in a host of industries (medical, environmental control, electrical / magnetic to name just a few). Perhaps less widely appreciated is the extent to which many companies already employ nano-materials within then production processes.
The aim of this meeting is to encourage interaction between industrialists who are already involved in the handling, characterisation and control of nano-powders and researchers who have a clear end application in mind but are currently grappling with technical barriers at a laboratory scale.
The programme includes:
Formulated Nanoparticle Dispersions at Industrial Scale, Dr. Ed Lester, University of Nottingham
Nanoparticles in printed Electronics, Derek Graham, ICI
Nanotechnology in the USA with Specific Reference to Cancer Therapy, Dr Alan Rawle, Malvern Instruments Inc.
Processing of Nanostructured Ceramics, Professor Jon Binner, Loughborough University
Nanoparticle Coating and Characterisation , Dr. Ping Xiao, University of Manchester
Enhanced Transport Properties and Behaviour of Nanofluids, Dr. Yulong Ding, University of Leeds
Event: PowdermatriX Revelation - The Annual Review Meeting of PowdermatriX Faraday
Location: Holywell Park, Loughborough, 6th March 2007
