In the frame of capacity building various capacity building events will be organized, where the staff at FTPO and the interested researchers from other organizations in Slovenia and the broader region will benefit from the training provided by internationally leading experts in the field of polymer processing.

A series of 18 workshops will be organized, which will provide the team of the coordinating institution with increased knowledge and expertise on various topics. The workshops will consist of a theoretical and practical part; therefore they will be (co)organized at the location(s) of the beneficiary and associated partner institution(s) which has/have the highest know how and latest equipment necessary for the topic of a specific workshop. All four beneficiaries and one associated partner will contribute to the topics with their experts and their young researchers will attend the workshops. The impact of the events will be maximised by online streaming of the activities.

IPPT TWINN 18th Project Workshop: Extrusion Based Technologies

An intensive workshop on extrusion-based technologies was held 23th and 24th of September 2025 at the Department of Polymer Engineering, Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). The event, organized in collaboration with several partner institutions, focused on knowledge exchange and practical training in polymer processing techniques.

During the workshop, participants used a Labtech single-screw extruder equipped with a film blowing tower to explore the process of polymer film production. The practical task involved achieving a target film thickness and width while investigating the influence of key processing parameters, such as:

  • Extruder barrel temperature profile

  • The temperature

  • Extruder screw speed

  • Film drawing speed

  • Air volume flow

This hands-on experience provided valuable insights into the critical factors that affect the final properties and dimensions of extruded blown polymer films, contributing to the overall understanding of extrusion-based polymer processing.
