The research group of Plastics and Elastomer Technology focuses on polymeric materials: plastics, rubbers and polymer-composites with various reinforcements. Our core competence areas are in processing, characterisation of physical and chemical properties, testing of mechanical, wear and thermo-electric properties of polymeric materials as well as in modelling and simulation of composite and hybrid materials.
Research focus and goals
Our group has a vision to become a group with increasing recognition among our colleagues in academia as well as in plastics and composite industry. In order to achieve our target, we have formulated a strategy with two well-defined target focus areas: Degradation of Polymeric Materials and Computational Materials Science. The union of these areas is the research of Soft Materials for Humans.
