The main focus of the department is research into material development. The activities include:
- The characterisation of physical properties of raw materials, compounds and vulcanisates
- Rheological behavior of rubber mixes
Special research domains are the development of use-oriented rubber compounds and TPVs as well as surface modifications of elastomers, polymers or metals by means of plasma activation and polymerization at atmospheric pressure.
Physical Testing according to DIN, ISO, ASTM
- Stress-Strain
- Hardness (Shore A and D)
- Micro Hardness (RHD)
- Tear resistance
- DIN Abrasion
- Rebound Resilience
- Thermal conductivity
- Dynamic fatigue - De Mattia (uncut and cut)
- Ageing:
- ozone
- temperature
- light
- Influence of various contact media
- Flexometer tests
- Filler dispersion analytics by reflected light microscopy
