Radtech's UV/EB 2010 technical conference and tradeshow took place last week in Baltimore, MD. The recovering economy and increased focus on sustainable manufacturing was evidenced by an increased interest in energy efficient UV/EB curing technologies. AEB was on hand to interact with the world leading chemists, materials scientists, converters and manufacturers in attendance.   

Highlights included:
AEB's Dr. Anne Testoni presented work on characterizing the efficacy of electron beam treatment on 3-D objects. (Click here to download presentation)
