SUMMARY:Webinar: How to Extend Lifetime of Elastomers & Rubber Products
DESCRIPTION:May 14\, 2026; 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. ET \nCentered around ageing\, this webinar is designed to be advantageous for both technical and non-technical personnel working in the rubber industry. \nThe objective of this webinar is to review the rubber ageing phenomena and to learn about strategies to prevent ageing and extend lifetime of elastomers and rubber products. The following topics will be covered: \n\nCauses of rubber products failure\nAgeing of elastomers and rubber products\nTypes of anti-aging chemicals\nMechanisms of anti-ageing effects\nApplications of anti-ageing chemicals\nEffects of compounding ingredients on ageing\nEffects of service conditions on ageing\nSelection criteria and general recommendations on rubber compounding with anti-aging chemicals\n\nThe webinar was developed in cooperation with Endurica\, LLC. \nPrice: Free for Members / $149 Non-members \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \nInstructor: Dr. Irene Yurovska \nIrene Yurovska was born and raised in Moscow\, Russia. After completing her BS in Chemistry\, MS in Chemical Engineering (Rubber Technology) and PhD in Physical Chemistry of Polymers\, she worked as a scientist for the Rubber Industry Institute and for the Institute of Aircraft Technology in Moscow. \nIrene moved with her family to the US in 1991. For ten years\, she lived in Rhode Island\, working as a plant rubber chemist for Teknor Apex and completing her MBA in Bryant University. Irene moved to Massachusetts to be employed for 14 years as a scientist\, technical service and applications specialist by Cabot Corporation in Billerica\, MA. In 2016-2017\, Dr. Yurovska worked as a Global Innovation Market Development Manager for Addivant Corporation (now SI Group) in CT. \nCurrently\, after completing the long and successful career as a global rubber industry professional; having hands-on experience with rubber compounding\, processing and technical service\, and with carbon black and antioxidants manufacturing and properties\, Dr. Irene Yurovska lives in TX\, recently being employed in India as VP of Himadri Specialty Chemicals (technical service in carbon black for rubbers) and currently developing a private consulting business for the global rubber industry. \nHer scientific interests include relationships between individual characteristics of ingredients and application properties of rubber products. Dr. Yurovska is the author and co-author of several patents and numerous articles in peer-reviewed and industrial publications. \nDr. Yurovska is an active member of the US rubber industry community\, being on several Rubber Division\, ACS committees\, she served as a Chair of the New England Rubber and Plastics Group and she is on the Board of NERPG and is also a member of the Energy Polymer Group. \nIrene has two children and one grandchild. She enjoys spending time with her family\, world travel\, swimming\, and classic opera.
