Innovative solutions in materials, processes, and applications for functional plastic surfaces.
Our multidisciplinary team works closely with partners from industry and research to develop innovative solutions in materials, processes, and applications for functional plastic surfaces.
Research focus areas
Projects
Selected Projects
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 material suitable for electrical cable jacketing and water piping industry.
