Institute of Polymer Technology

Every day, we work on new possibilities for polymer processing in teaching, research, and industrial projects—to gain a deeper understanding of material-process-property interactions, optimize process design, and develop innovative applications.

Our Main Areas of Activity

Research
The research focus of the Chair of Polymer Technology encompasses a wide range of topics across the departments of Additive Manufacturing and Processing. Key areas of focus include the modification of polymers, component design, and application-specific polymer processing. To support this work, the chair is equipped with a state-of-the-art processing technology center and cutting-edge testing […]The research focus of the Chair of Polymer Technology encompasses a wide range of topics across the departments of Additive Manufacturing and Processing.
