Polymer and Composites Technology
POLYMER AND COMPOSITES TECHNOLOGY
The overall objective is to create and transfer the knowledge on composite-intensive primary structures that meet weight, cost and production rate requirements. The activity is organized around three research domains:
-
Advanced Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM):
- Thermoplastic RTM (TP-RTM)
- Compression RTM (CRTM)
- Fibre Metal Laminate RTM (FML-RTM)
-
Ultraviolet curing technology applied to:
- Pultrusion
- Automatic Tape Laying (ATL)
- Filament Winding
-
Deformation and fracture of polymer and composites:
- Stamp forming
- Impact/damage simulation
- Morphing
In PKT emphasis is placed on application-oriented research and the development of products to pilot production level. Automotive (PSA-Citröen, CIDIA), Railway (CAF), Civil Engineering (Acciona Infraestructuras, ULMA Construcción), Tooling Machine (Danobat, Trimek) and Sport (Orbea) are some of the most representative industrial partners.
PKT has state-of-the-art technology and equipment to meet the needs of application oriented research and development.
Training of young researchers (undergraduates and doctorates) and professionals form the industry is also a nuclear activity of the research group.
