Whether it is the development of new materials that are precisely tailored to your requirements or the optimization of existing materials &#8211; we combine innovative approaches with practical test methods. A particular advantage for our partners is that in many cases we can test the processability of the materials directly on site at the institute under realistic conditions. This not only provides you with well-founded test results, but also valuable insights into the practical feasibility of your materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/en\/research\/research-infrastructure\/\">Research infrastructure<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\" col-span-12 sm:col-span-5  md:col-span-5   lg:col-span-5 lg:col-start-8 relative flex flex-col items-end \">\n                    <figure class=\" relative flex flex-col items-end origin-top-left bigInMiddle fullOpacityInMiddle \"><img decoding=\"async\"  class=\"order-1\"  src=\"https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Studium-Uebung-Kunststoffrecycling-scaled.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Studium-Uebung-Kunststoffrecycling-748x499.jpg 748w, https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Studium-Uebung-Kunststoffrecycling-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Studium-Uebung-Kunststoffrecycling-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Studium-\u00dcbung-Kunststoffrecycling\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><span class=\"mt-3 order-3  text-copyright \">&copy; DF.Fotografie<\/span><figcaption class=\" order-2  text-figcaption\">During compounding, the plastic granules and additives are taken up, melted and mixed in the extruder.<\/figcaption><\/figure>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-large-font-size\"><blockquote><p>As Europe\u2019s leading plastics technology research institute, the IKV at RWTH Aachen University is our pre-testing centre for new materials and technologies.
