Research lines
“Processing of polymer materials” is a result of the large experience
related to conventional polymer processing technologies (injection,
(blow/film)(co)extrusion and thermoforming).
This research studies the processability of polymers (conventional,
nano-filled, bio-based, recycling, biomedical, thermal sensitive and
high-tech polymers), related to aspects such as:
The influence of specific material characteristics and/or –composition on the
processability into functional products
Special processing techniques for conventional and high-tech materials such as
micro-injection, gas assisted injection, intrusion, micro-extrusion, 3D-plotting
en multi-material production (co-extrusion)
Sustainable use of materials: processing and evaluation of post-industrial and postconsumer recyclates for re-processing
15
Research lines
“Additive Manufacturing” (AM) focusses on:
The selection and development of new polymer based materials for
Laser Sintering (LS) en Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) or
extrusion based AM technologies.
The development of printing heads and equipment for polymer
extrusion based techniques.
The use of AM metal inserts for applications in mould making (hybrid
moulds).
The use of AM for biomedical applications (scaffolds for tissue
engineering).
16
Research lines
“Material Characterization and Product Optimalization” are
applied to validate the processing results of the other research lines.
It defines the relation between material properties and - selection,
product development and related processing technologies.
Using physical (mechanical, microscopy, density, ...) and
physicochemical (DSC, TGA, FTIR, ...) tests, the processing and/or
processed materials are evaluated, which provides insight into the
relationship between structure/composition and properties, which
ensures scientific feedback loop to the other research areas.
Where necessary, tests are requested to partner laboratories for
techniques that are not available (SEM, TEM, XPS, NMR, GPC, ...).
