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.

Succesfull 1ST IPPT_TWINN Summer school in Budapest

Between August 28 and 31, 2023, the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) hosted a summer school on the topic of composite technologies. The summer school was attended by 15 participants, including four FTPO representatives.

The first day of the summer school began with a lecture by BME professor Dr. Gábor Szebényi with the title Introduction to Composites. The lecture focused on duromer composites with continuous fibers. In the following, BME professor Dr. András Suplicz presented the topic of injection molding of polymer composites with short fibers. At the end of the day, representatives of various institutions participating in the project presented the latest technologies and research trends in the field of polymer composites.

The second day began with laboratory exercises on the topic of injection molding of thermoplastic composites, led by Dr. Béla Zink. In the afternoon, Dr. Gábor Szebényi presented processing technologies for thermoset composites with long and continuous fibers, while Dr. András Suplicz presented technologies for the processing of thermoplastic composites, with special emphasis on T-RTM technology.

The third day was devoted to practical work with T-RTM technology, led by Dr. András Suplicz. The participants prepared thermoplastic composites reinforced with different reinforcements (type and orientation of fibers), and in the afternoon they measured the mechanical properties of thermoplastics and thermoplastic composites prepared by injection molding. The last day began with laboratory exercises led by Dr. Czél Gergelya, where the participants made composites using different processes (autoclave, vacuum infusion and manual lamination), and in the second part, they measured the mechanical properties of the composites prepared by T-RTM.
