Introduction of the Research Group
The Polymer Materials Science research group is mainly concerned with the structure of polymers and the exploration of structure-property relationships, in particular in the light of the effects of technological parameters and additives. Thus, the effects of fillers, reinforcing fibres, nanoparticles, foaming agents, and technological parameters such as stretching and cooling rates.
Achievements
-Production of high-performance hybrid composites-Development of reinforced composites
-Development of packaging materials for environmentally friendly composite systems
-Recycling of rubber
