The working group in the synthesis section possesses many years of experience in the field of dispersion/emulsion polymerisation. It has carried out intensive studies of water-soluble and water-dilutable polymer systems, which have applications in areas such as environmental technology.
Other research work at the PAZ focuses on anionic solution polymerisation
and bulk polymerisation/reactive extrusion. Beside rubber solution and
polyamide /polyester, reactive (in-situ) compounding is at the centre of
scientific interest.
A C4-grade professorial chair has been set up at the Martin Luther University
of Halle, so as to allocate a higher level of technical and personnel resources
to the research area of insertion polymerisation (inc. metallocene).
The simulation/modelling of polymerisation processes carried out under its
auspices is intended to achieve an optimisation of reactions by, among other
things, alteration of reactor geometry and the corresponding periphery.
