SUMMARY:Webinar: Advanced Reinforcements & Fillers
DESCRIPTION:June 11\, 2026; 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. ET \nWebinar Overview: This webinar explores the science\, structure and performance impact of key reinforcement and filler systems used in rubber compounding. Participants will gain insight into how morphology\, surface chemistry and treatment technologies influence processing behavior and final material properties across a wide range of applications. \nWebinar Content: \n\nSilica morphology\, structure and performance considerations\nSilane chemistry and application methods for effective coupling\nTreatment technologies used to optimize silica interaction with rubber\nKaolin clay technology with emerging opportunities for formulation development\nTalc technology and its potential roles in property modification\nCalcium carbonate systems with evolving application possibilities\nGraphene technology and its expanding performance landscape\n\nThis webinar equips participants with a deeper understanding of reinforcement mechanisms and filler selection strategies that support innovation in compound design. \nPrice: Free for Members / $149 Non-members \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \nInstructor: Josh Guilliams\, Vice President of Consultancy \nBio: Josh Guilliams\, Vice President of Consultancy leads\, Smithers’ technical consulting team based in Akron\, Ohio. Josh manages client relationships and works with other Smithers experts on complex projects. He also conducts in-depth investigations of a wide variety of rubber materials and final products on behalf of clients. Guilliams has a Bachelor of Science in chemistry and engineering from Baldwin Wallace University and a Master of Polymer Science from the University of Akron. He is a Six Sigma Black Belt.
