- Production of fibre-reinforced thermoplastic components
- Direct mixing and compounding of polymers and the necessary additives
- Use of various kinds and types of fibre (glass fibres, naturally-occurring fibres, polymer fibres, regenerated cellulose fibres etc.)
- Fibre content, length and distribution are adjustable
- Production of long-fibre reinforced thermoplastic components on the basis of polypropylene and long glass fibres with direct incorporation of the fibres: direct feed of glass fibre rovings into the polymer melts and subsequent formation of components by injection moulding
- Evaluation of the influence of the material system and the technological conditions on a component's characteristic values
- Investigation of the influence of sprue and injection moulding processes on the fibre lengths that can be achieved
- Technology, material and component evaluation on the basis of experiments
- Continuous numerical simulation
- Evaluation of fibre materials, matrix polymers and additives
- Compounding
- Injection moulding processing
- Compounding and injection moulding as a closed process
