A German university located in Bavaria hosts one of the leading research groups in the field of polymer composite materials in Germany. Their core competence lay on understanding and optimizing the interrelationship among Structure-Processing-Properties, with activities including thermoplastic and thermosetting composites. Joint development is offered to manufacturers of resin systems and composite parts, from chemical characterisation to process optimization to product properties.
The university department of a German university
combines physical and chemical fundamental knowledge to bring innovative smart materials into real
world applications, such as energy efficient out-of-autoclave fast curable matrices and class-A
surface composites.
A number of modern industry-relevant manufacturing methods are available, such
as injection moulding compounding for novel thermoplastic hybrid composites, and 2K resin transfer
moulding or autoclave processing for high performance carbon/glass reinforced thermosets.
The
characterization of the large spectrum of properties belongs to their daily work. This includes
thermal analyses, morphology investigations, quasi-static mechanical testing and analysis of fatigue
behaviour.
By building a bridge between pure science and industrial needs, the department is proud
to be a reliable collaborator on the development of the new generation of composite materials with
industrial partners.
Joint development is offered to:
a) producers of resin systems who want to
develop a new or improve an exisiting resin system.
b) producers of composite parts that need
tailored resin systems and/or optimised production processes to meet specific requirements of new
products.
Innovative Aspects:
Scientific expertise plus applied research services covering the
complete production chain of is offered by one single partner: from chemical characterisation of raw
material components, to development of recipies and the related production processes, to
physico-chemical characterisation of the final part.
Advanced machinery and instruments are
available for joint research and test production, e.g. a 2-Component Resin Transfer Moulding device
and a fully equipped chemical and physical analytics including transmission / scanning electron
microscopy.
