There are numerous educational opportunities available in March through the ACS Rubber Division, which will offer online courses and webinars free to ACS Rubber Division members.
Courses also are free to undergraduate student members, and discounts are available for master's and graduate student members.
Continuing education credits are available for many of the courses, according to the group.
Register for any of the upcoming courses here.
March courses include:
The ACS Rubber Division is highlighting two of the courses, including the March 15 "Fatigue Limit of Rubber" and the March 22 "Compounding Fluoroelastomers."
"The Fatigue Limit of Rubber" looks at the concept of fatigue thresholds and how to use this to make more durable products.
The course will cover crack growth behavior, intrinsic strength and how to make a product that operates below the fatigue limit.
"Compounding Fluoroelastomers" shows how and why fluoroelastomers work when other hydrocarbon elastomers will not. The course covers the different types of fluoroelastomers, compounding, properties and molding.
