Thanks for presenting! 

 

• Authors submit their papers to an online database via a website. The database can accept virtually any type of electronically formatted document (PC and Mac formats). Go to the SPE homepage at www.4spe.org, and, under Conference/Events Tab, follow the link to ANTEC or go directly to http://www.4spe.org/conf/antec10/ , and click on “Call for Papers.”

 

 

 

 

 

Please email Sharyl or Jim (below) and let one of them know you are submitting a paper on a topic related to color and appearance of plastics.  If your topic is not related to color and appearace of plastics, it may be reassigned to an alternate SPE division session.

 

• Submit your paper to the Color and Appearance Division. (Once the file is submitted to the website, it is automatically converted to an Adobe Acrobat PDF file.)

• The Author’s Release Form must be sent electronically upon paper submission.

• The SPE Technical Program Chairs and respective review committees conduct paper reviews via the paper-submission website. The reviewers then forward any necessary revision requests to the authors via email.

As you can see, the process for an ANTEC author is relatively easy. If you have not submitted a paper or made a presentation at ANTEC, please consider the possibility…it will be worth your efforts!

  Specify “Color and Appearance” (D21) when submitting your abstract.
