We develop, modify and improve the materials, in addition to R&D on recycling. Circular economy and sustainability are key factors in our research. We cooperate with universities nationally and abroad. Our laboratories are well equipped.
In this lab we synthesize polymer materials from monomers. We also modify commercially available materials and make formulations for tailored applications. A third field of R&D is chemical degradation studies to establish routes for chemical...
This lab has instruments for characterizing polymer and composite materials (and products made of these materials) in terms of chemical and physical structure and properties. This includes special instruments for characterizing surfaces (chemical...
We offer both standardized and tailored mechanical testing solutions for a wide range of polymer and composite materials, components and industrial applications.
This lab has equipment and infrastructure to carry out ageing experiments with polymer and composite materials (and products) in different environments. Hence, in this lab we perform experiments which simulate how the properties of a material change...
In this lab we produce test specimens and simple product prototypes of polymer and composite materials. Effects of processing and recycling can be studied. Furthermore, new material formulations can be compounded, e.g. by blending polymers or by...
The objective of DACOMAT is to develop more damage tolerant and damage predictable low cost composite materials in particular aimed for used in large load carrying constructions like bridges, buildings, wind-turbine blades and offshore structures...
The SEAD project will explore the potential of plant-inspired pyrogallol-based compounds as adhesion anchoring sites.
The TailAd project will develop new characterization methods utilizing advanced instrumentation that will provide the capabilities to study adhesion characteristics of paints in much greater detail.
