Although the mention of Spain might conjure images of sun, olive groves, tapas and Rioja wine, it should also bring to mind a thriving center of advanced materials and aerospace manufacturing. The country’s aerospace sector grew 12.5 percent annually between 2001 and 2008 and employed a workforce of more than 15,000 at the end of that time, according to a 2009 study of the European aerospace industry, funded by the European Commission and prepared by Ecorys (Rotterdam, The Netherlands). The Spanish trade group TEDAE (Asociacin Espaola de Empresas Tecnolgicas de Defensa, Aeronutica y Espacio), formed that same year, counts more than 70 member companies with a collective 8 billion ($11.2 billion USD) in total turnover. Propelled by strong investments in research and development, aerospace in Spain is still on the upswing.

A brainless, primeval organism able to navigate a maze might help Japanese scientists devise the ideal transport network design. Not bad for a mono-cellular being that lives on rotting leaves.
Amoeboid yellow slime mold has been on Earth for thousands of years, living a distinctly un-high-tech life, but, say scientists, it could provide the key to designing bio-computers capable of solving complex problems.

In 1986, the invention of the Arburg host computer system ALS – the first ever software intended specifically for injection moulding plants – was a pioneering achievement. It enables the networking of machines, the monitoring of processes and the documentation of settings data. Today, ALS is a valuable tool with which injection moulders can achieve consistently high product quality and optimum production capacity utilisation, as well as minimise downtimes, significantly enhancing production efficiency.

Lack of skilled or trained employees is a huge obstacle to business growth at many plastics processing companies. How bad is it? One molder noted recently to the author that they've had 30 positions open for nearly six months, but have been unable to fill them. As a result, many molders are implementing training programs of their own, which PlasticsToday has written about several times in previous articles.

SABIC's Innovative Plastics business announced a new, high-performance Lexan EXL copolymer resin that addresses the fast-moving trend toward miniaturization of photovoltaic (PV) connectors and junction boxes. The enhanced electrical and flame-retardant performance of the new Lexan EXL resin grade enables designers to miniaturize the entire system by creating thin-wall parts, moving conductors closer together and integrating junction box systems – helping to drive down solar energy costs and increase efficiency. New Lexan EXL resin helps customers strengthen their competitive footing by contributing significantly to the benefits of PV systems and further accelerating the move to solar energy.
