PAPERmaking! FROM THE PUBLISHERS OF PAPER TECHNOLOGY Volume 2, Number 2, 2016
28th PTS COATING SYMPOSIUM 2017 – Call for Papers Coated - Upgraded - Smart With some 350 participants, the PTS Coating Symposium is internationally the largest and most prominent meeting place for the surface finishing of paper and board. It will be held on 5th-6th September 2017 in the Leonardo Royal Hotel in Munich. PTS aims to provide an impetus for innovation and initiate interdisciplinary and cross-sector co-operations between the partners of the added value chain. Coating technology has undergone a sea change in the past few years to become a flexible coating process for innovative surface functions. Today, barriers and multifunctional surfaces can meet complex requirements for a wide range of applications in an endless variety of sectors. PTS is also observing new technological solutions for upgrading smart products as another emerging trend. PTS invites to present current scientific trends and your industrial developments in coating technology for printing and packaging solutions or for special-purpose applications. PTS is especially interested in input from papermakers or paper converters, also in co-operation with their development partners from mechanical engineering, chemical industry, finishing, the raw material or research sectors. We welcome your papers and contributions in the following priority areas: x Markets in flux: e.g. changed consumer demands | converting strategies | new business models | new fields of application and customer segments x Advances in coating and upgrading technology: e.g. successful new installations and rebuilds| recent developments in mechanical engineering and finishing | efficiency enhancement | quality assurance and process improvement | Industry 4.0 solutions x Concepts for coating colour formulation: e.g. new bonding agents, pigments and functional additives | trends in formulation design | new approaches for functional barriers | hybrid printing paper | special-purpose applications x Innovative products: e.g. new printing paper | white top liner | coated packaging board | smart packaging | formable surfaces | creative design applications | printed electronics An informative summary in German or English not more than one page in length together with details concerning the author(s) and employer may be submitted to frank.miletzky@ptspaper.de or ralf-gericke@ptspaper.de on or before 20th January 2017. A template may be found at www.coating-symposium.com . An international programme committee will compile the contributions you submit into an attractive symposium programme. Product innovations may present within the framework of the symposium exhibition.
