    The aim of the research laboratory is to develop suitable transfer methods between additive manufacturing and injection molding

  • Strong, stronger, starch. Using biodegradable, starch-based plastics to create more sustainable foam films
    July 31, 2025

    Strong, stronger, starch. Using biodegradable, starch-based plastics to create more sustainable foam films

    As part of your work, you will test various physical blowing agents such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen and blowing agent mixtures based on these in order to produce low-density starch foam films.

  • Literature study on the strength of short-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics as a function of microstructure and load
    May 20, 2025

    Literature study on the strength of short-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics as a function of microstructure and load

    The aim of your thesis is to review current research on the strength of short fibre-reinforced thermoplastics through systematic research. In particular, the influences of different types of loading and the resulting stress states are to be analysed on the basis of published studies.

  • Process development and mold sampling for the production of highly oriented test specimens made of short-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic by injection molding
    May 14, 2025

    Process development and mold sampling for the production of highly oriented test specimens made of short-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic by injection molding

    The aim of your work will be to assemble the Mould on the basis of the preparatory work, put it into operation and carry out an initial acceptance test. You will then systematically analyze the influences of the process parameters on the flow conditions of the plastic melt in the cavity.

  • Literature research on processing conditions for vitrimers
    December 6, 2024

    Help research a methodology for optimizing the mechanical component properties of long-fiber-reinforced plastics.

  • Determination of the axial melt temperature distribution
    October 8, 2024

    Determination of the axial melt temperature distribution

    As part of a public research project (DFG OptiPlast), an energy-efficient optimization of the dosing phase in the injection molding cycle is planned.

  • Rapid production of fiber-reinforced components – thanks to variable catalysis
    September 12, 2024

    Rapid production of fiber-reinforced components – thanks to variable catalysis

    The aim of your work is to determine the optimum catalyst content for variable catalysis, which enables homogeneous and rapid curing of a component.
