A recording of a recent webinar held by TWI and the Non-Metallic Innovation Centre (NIC) is now available to view.
The event, ‘๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ – ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐,’ took place on 30 July 2024 with around 100 people registering on the day from 31 different countries.
The webinar was hosted by Project Manager for NIC and Research Projects, Sadik Omairey, who also managed the post-talk Q&A session.
TWI’s Consultant in Advanced Composites and Adhesives, Dr Ewen Kellar presented during the online event, speaking on the importance of surface pre-treatment in ensuring a good adhesive bond.
The webinar explored the many options available for effective pre-treatment, the consequences of not getting it right, and the outcomes of some work that TWI has been involved with, where the goal was to create the perfect invisible defect. The ability to produce such defects in a controlled and stable way is an important first step towards developing NDT capabilities to detect them.
We would like to thank everyone who took the time to attend on the day but, for anyone who missed it or would like to revisit the webinar, a recording is available for you to watch, below:
