From recycling to digitalisation: a wide range of topics at the advisory board meetings
From November 3 to 5, 2025, the IKV Advisory Board Group (FBG) meetings took place at the SuperC of RWTH Aachen

The thesis deals with the development and implementation of an optical measuring system for monitoring the impregnation progress of fibers in a melt impregnation tool for the production of UD tape. The special feature of the Mould are the viewing windows, which make it possible to observe the progress of the impregnation of the fibers…

The aim of the work is the further development and validation of a material model for TPE. To this end, mechanical tests are carried out, mechanical models are expanded and model parameters are calibrated.

The aim of your work is to make elastomer injection molding more energy-efficient and to demold molded parts to the point.

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

The aim of the work is to predict the mixing process in order to reduce raw material and energy consumption during the development of the mixture.

Work on an innovative joining approach for plastic/metal hybrid technology.

Modelling the filling behaviour of microstructures in the injection moulding process using sensor data and experimental results

The aim of your work is to predict the influences of foam morphology.
