Polymer Engineering
By combining mechanical engineering, process engineering, polymer analytics, simulation and competence in specific product applications, we want develop and demonstrate high-performance materials based on biobased molecules to resolve the contradiction between sustainability and economic growth. We are engineers, industrial engineers and chemists who want to experience the results of their research in people's everyday lives.
Research
Our research focusses on:
- Processing of biobased polymers
- Functional additives for biobased materials
- Upscaling from lab to production
- New biobased materials like fibres from aerogels
- We have a strong focus on fibre materials
Projects
R.A.U.M. Laboratory
The R.A.U.M. Laboratory Euregio Meuse-Rhine is an innovative competence and application center for sustainable construction products being established at TFI Aachen.
SMARAGD
The primary objective of AMIBM in the SMARAGD project is to implement IoT applications in aerogel production, aiming to expedite the digitalization of this field by developing tools for its implementation.
AACoMa
The AACoMa project focuses on accelerating the advanced manufacturing of composite materials by demonstrating the needed processing technologies in close interaction with companies.
