Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
The annual event is sponsored by the three Baltic states, and since the first one in 2001, has become an important forum for disseminating findings and beginning collaborations by the region's researchers in polymer chemistry, physics, and technology. Participants also come from other parts of the world, though mostly from Europe. Among this year's 22 papers are discussions of improving the absorption properties of cotton blended fabric, electrochemical properties of advanced anodes for lithium-ion batteries based on carboxy-methyl-cellulose as binder, three different approaches for synthesizing polyal from rapeseed oil, properties of polyurethanes based on tall oil fatty acid esters with different types of flame retardants, and liquid crystalline co-polyester made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate and p-acetoxybenzoic acid.
