The course was very broad & comprehensive. I found that I had similar problems in every area presented but no access to the tools necessary to achieve defect resolution. I come away from the class with many contacts to industry experts and contemporaries who will be beneficial to my work along with a broad knowledge of the tools & techniques I need to solve real life problems I could have only guessed before. Great program; I hope to attend many more!

My colleague and I, were pleased to attend your Polymer Failure & Defects course.  It was both interesting and informational to learn how simple thermal and rheological methods could be applied to investigate difficult cases related to batch inconsistency and subtle environmental or processing changes.  We were also pleased to learn about the newest instrumental developments from Bruker and Netzsch.  We look forward to meeting again, so please keep us informed of upcoming course offerings. 

As a newcomer to the Polymer R&D field, these 3-days were really interesting to me. Even if I knew most of the techniques presented, the instructors opened my eyes to the amount of information buried in the results. Really enjoyed the case-histories because I could apply these learnings back to several of the issues faced at work.
