Materials and Process EngineeringCore Areas of Applied Research and Development

2020.01

Materials• Functional polymers and polymer blends• Adhesives• Polymer-ceramic-hybrid materials• High performance ceramics• Fiber-reinforced materials (advanced carbon composites)• Metallic high temperature materials• Catalyst systems• Smart materials• Fatigue of materials and damage analysis

Surface Engineering• Polymer coatings (lacquers, paints)• Sol-gel coatings• Hybrid-coatings• Bonding and adhesion technology• Ceramic and metallic coatings• Surface functionalization• Nanostructuring of surfaces (catalysts)• Tribology

Process Development• Separate, accumulate, rework (thermal, mechanical, chemical)• Membrane separation processes• Separation and enrichment by sorption• Power-to-X / methanation / fuel processing • Gas/flue gas treatment, water/waste water treatment• Joining technology (mechanical, adhesive, welding)• Heat treatment• Particle and powder synthesis• Ceramic shaping• Coatings• Compounding and extrusion• Additive manufacturing

Our collaborative research and development partners have full access to our services and state-of-the-art equipment.
