New materials
For the ACR experts focusing on products, processes and materials it is all about intelligent materials concepts and innovative simulation and testing techniques and technologies – the basis for developing new products and procedures and optimising existing ones. As well as product developments and designs, this area also includes process control & process optimisation when processing wood, metals, plastics and coating systems and also characterisation of materials as well as micro- & nanoanalysis.
Focus
A) Product development and product safety
- Virtual product development and product design
- Product & building component characterisation
- Product emissions
- Innovative materials concepts (composites etc.)
- Semiconductor devices
B) Process control & process optimisation when processing wood, metals, plastics and coating systems
- Moulding and forming processes
- Separating & joining processes
- Coating processes
C) Characterisation & development of materials, micro- & nanoanalysis
- Modern testing processes (chemical/physical/mechanical)
- Surface characterisation
- Framework & structure tests
- Innovative concepts to characterise the long-term behaviour and (accelerated) life cycle estimates
- Developing methods for characterisation of materials
