Polymerics: Polymers and Adhesives
Polymers are versatile and powerful materials that enable many demanding applications and products. Hence, they are key to innovative technologies that will shape the future, for example in microtechnology, electronics, medical technology or mobility. Plastics and adhesives are tailor-made for the respective application with regard to their technical, chemical and physical properties. Knowledge of these properties within the life cycle, from processing to practical use and recycling, helps to use polymers successfully.
Our Expertise
Services and troubleshooting all about polymers
Failure analysis and material characterization can help to understand the physico-chemical and process related properties of polymeric materials allowing to adapt them to your needs.
Chemical and physical polymer analysis
Professional analyses, such as thermal analysis, spectrometry, microscopy, conductivity measurements and rheological or mechanical testing.
Functionalization and nano composites
We develop and modify tailor-made functional polymers and adhesives for your particular application in order to implement specific properties like thermal and electrical conductivity.
Life cycle analysis and lifetime optimization
We investigate the life cycle of your product, we help estimating the lifetime and, if desired, we extend it through material optimization.
Polymers are critical materials for future technologies
Trust our expertise in the use of adhesives and polymer materials in areas like microsystem and sensor technology, medical technology, as well as energy and environmental technology.
To solve these tasks there is an extensive infrastracture at the MNT.
