The main objective of the research part of the project is to develop a hybrid technology that enables the production of high-performance composite structures with a recyclable thermoplastic matrix. The proposed hybrid technology combines the advantages of three of the most promising processing techniques—thermoplastic resin transfer moulding (T-RTM) and/or injection moulding, and additive manufacturing, within the production of a single part.
Tasks of research:
- Study of the interfacial bonding strength
- Synthesis of covalent adaptable networks (CAN) using reactive extrusion and compounding
- Study of improvement of interfacial bonding strength between different polymers
- Use of CAN in hybrid technologies
- Development of demonstrators
