Resilience, toughness and good strength to weight ratios have led to polymers successfully replacing traditional materials in sports. High performance polymers now form an integral part of equipment used today. Polymeric materials, fibres and coatings contribute directly to improvements in performance and are vital in safety applications. Continued developments in smart clothing, impact absorbing footwear and improved surfaces all contribute to increased achievement in competitive sports.
At the Showcase meeting industrialists and academic speakers will demonstrate how advances in polymer science and technology have improved effectiveness, help protect participants from sports injuries, can assist in repairing damage in both participants and equipment and have improved the performance of winter sports gear.
