Bachelor- or Master thesis
Thermoset fiber composites are a discontinued model!” This statement is often repeated for structural components with lightweight construction potential. However, more sustainable and innovative FRP components and processes require a rethink of matrix materials and manufacturing processes. For example, your work can introduce vitrimer epoxies or UV-curing plastics into manufacturing processes such as winding or liquid impregnation in order to obtain thermoset FRPs with previously unrealizable properties for forming or recycling.
© IKVThe work is written in this working group:
In this context, the QA in FRP processes working group is researching the integration of new matrix materials in continuous fiber-reinforced plastics. This application is independent of the manufacturing process and aims to transfer new material developments from research and the laboratory into everyday engineering practice.
| For a Bachelor's thesis you will work on the following task | For a Master's thesis you will work on the following task |
| Research work on matrix materials | Research work on the processing of different matrices in FRP processes |
| Development of methods for the production of components | Methodical production of FRP components and parameter studies |
| Characterization of matrix materials or manufactured components Material | Characterization and correlation of processability to quality properties of the components |
Objective:
The aim of your thesis can be customized in this context and adapted to your own interests. In any case, you will make a decisive contribution to the future sustainable design of thermoset fiber composites!
