Polymer Chemistry and Analytics

We are experts in polymeric chemistry (thermoplastics, thermoset plastics and elastomers), chemical plastic modification and plastic-related analytics.

Before creating new and innovative products and techniques, the first issue to be resolved is often the material to be used. The interaction of (chemical) structures and the resulting properties of polymers are the focal points of this process. Whether you would like to understand the decomposition of high-temperature polymers, modify quick-curing resins or chemically functionalise plastics and analyse all of the results in the proper manner, we have just the right expert for you.

Engineering of functionalized Polysiloxenes for crosslinked Polyethylene (PE-X)

Compared to pure polyethylene, PEX is more resistant for small wall thickness to electrical treeing and can withstand high thermal shocks, which makes this ...
