Impact on PDM Conference Stage
Impact’s Surya Vesavkar is discussing failures in plastics at this year’s PDM conference on Wednesday 20th June at 13.30.
Surya joined Impact Solutions just over 5 years ago while studying for his Honours Degree in Polymer Engineering from Edinburgh Napier University. He previously completed a Diploma in Plastics Engineering, while in Mumbai, which provided a hands-on experience in plastic production, tooling, and product design.
As Polymer Technologist, Surya sees everything that comes in and out of the Impact Laboratory. Through an innovative research and development project, he co-invented Impact’s BOSS system and has worked in numerous customer related projects including failure analysis, composite development, and material testing.
During his PDM presentation on Plastic Failure Analysis: Revealing the Mode and Cause, Surya will be discussing:
• How plastics could exhibit different types of failures such as fatigue, molecular degradation/oxidation.
• The failures might be hidden within the material, processing or environment.
• How to help customers identify the mode and the cause of the failures undertaking simple tests and providing typical plastic failure examples.
Surya will be available to speak to at the Scottish Plastic and Rubber Association (SPRA) stand, no D021. He is a member of the Scottish Plastics and Rubber Association and IOM3. The SPRA promote and support the advancement of plastics and rubber through science, engineering, manufacturing, and education.
