GUMFERENCE 2022

Context

Registration

This will be the 6^th conference on rubber and soft polymer material testing in this series. The previous conferences were highly successful and ensured its development from a local to an international event. This time, the conference firstly is organized by a consortium of international partners formed by Tomas Bata University in Zlín (Czech Republic) and Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden e.V. (Germany). Furthermore, in order to bring together scientists from all over the world, the conference will be held in a virtual  manner for the first time.

The audience is encouraged to register all around the world.

The registration and participation in the conference is free of charge.

• Introduction
  Radek Stoček received his Dr.-Ing. in 2012 at the Chemnitz University of Technology (Germany). Then he started an industrial career at Polymer Research Lab (PRL), Zlin (Czech Republic) and parallel an independent academic career at the Tomas Bata University (TBU) in Zlín. He finished his habilitation in 2019. Currently, he is holding the two positions as Head of R&D at PRL and Head of the Rubber Department at TBU. His research and scientific interests are focused on the characterization of rubber material properties concerning fatigue and fracture mechanics and the development of new and advanced testing methodologies, hardware and equipment. His work has been recognized by awards from the Tire Society (USA). R. Stoček is the author of 53 publications (according to Scopus) and holds three Utility Models.

  Introduction

  In 2020, Eric Euchler received his Dr.-Ing. at the Dresden University of Technology (Germany). During his doctorate, he was affiliated to the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden e.V. (Germany), where he is now the leader of the research group “Mechanics and Structure of elastomeric Materials”. His research work is dedicated to an improved understanding of the process-structure-properties relation of elastomers, with a special interest in the combination of advanced mechanical testing and high-resolution structure analysis. He is the author of over 10 papers in high-ranked scientific journals.
