The 6th International Symposium on Polymer and Advanced Materials took place at Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University. During this meeting, a member of the NEWEX project, a team representative from LUT, presented the work done under this project.
The work was done in cooperation with the Technical University of Kosice and concerned possible solutions of the rotary barrel segment intended for use in the new extruder being built. Over 60 people from various countries were present at the conference. Professor Janusz Sikora presented the work entitled “A new solution of the rotary barrel segment of a single screw extruder” and during many direct talks he presented the idea of MSCA programmes, in particular RISE. Both the work and the project itself was accepted with great interest of conference participants. Initial contacts have been established, which may result in scientific cooperation in the future.
