In total 5 projects have been defined for the 4-year funding period. To cover the polymer product and technology range of interest to the Company Partners, the following 3 multi-firm projects were defined:
|
Project 1.01: |
|
High-performance polyolefins for advanced structural applications
(in short: High Performance Polyolefins)
|
|
Project 1.02: |
|
Heterogeneous polymer compounds
(in short: Heterogeneous Polymer Compounds)
|
|
Project 1.03: |
|
In-situ investigations on plastification related melt quality and degradation in injection molding, extrusion and compounding
(in short: Melt Quality Plastification)
|
|
In addition, 2 purely strategic projects have been defined to perform research in application oriented polymer science on a more fundamental level and which are being carried out in cooperation with the Scientific Partners without any active Company Partner research involvement:
|
|
Project 1.S1: |
|
Advanced characterization methods for polymeric materials and special topics of polymer science
(in short: Advanced Methods)
|
|
Project 1.S2 |
|
Simulation of polymer melt flow and heat transfer effects in plasticizing machines with respect to mixing and melt quality effects
(in short: Melt Quality Simulation)
|
|
Since all five projects are thematically interlinked and follow a common methodical scheme the research program encompasses only one Area.
