post-consumer recyclate in contact-sensitive packaging from 2030 onwards, mechanical recycling processes must be systematically improved and efficiently combined. The LoopCycling project therefore investigates the entire mechanical recycling process chain for flexible packaging waste, from sorting to film production, with the aim of developing an integrated process for the production of high-quality recyclate films. Residual contaminants are removed and analysed by means of extraction and migration testing in order to assess the suitability of the recyclates for different classes of contact-sensitive packaging, including food, leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics, and home-care applications.<\/p>\n<p>The project focuses on sorting processes for films, the removal of printing inks, and compounding technologies including melt degassing and the injection of stripping agents. As a collaborative research project, LoopCycling is funded by industrial companies, and participation in the current project as well as in the planned follow-up project LoopCycling II is possible at any time.<\/p>\n<h3>Key topics<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Integrated process chain for high-quality mechanical recycling of flexible packaging<\/li>\n<li>Processing technologies for low-contamination recyclates, including sorting and printing ink removal<\/li>\n<li>Process development for recyclate processing, including compounding, degassing and additive incorporation<\/li>\n<li>Analysis and evaluation of recyclate suitability for contact-sensitive applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Chair<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Prof. Achim Grefenstein, IKV<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Lectures<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Steven Zimmer, IKV<\/li>\n<li>Ali Cetin, IKV<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tickets.ikv-aachen.de\/ticket\/ikv-impulse\/\">Registration<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n    <section id=\"headline-block_a7f7e31a0e59d14cf5fe82af0a81527f\" class=\"block-headline   mb-16\">\n        <div class=\"theGridWrapper hyphens-auto\">\n            <div class=\"theGrid12\">\n                <div class=\" grid grid-cols-11 col-span-11 md:grid-cols-9 md:col-span-9 bg-gradient-to-r from-70% from-blue     bg-green before:block before:content-['\\00A0'] before:absolute before:h-full before:border-l-[1px] before:border-green before:scale-150 \">\n                    <div class=\" col-span-8 col-start-2  pr-8 py-4 ikv-condensed tracking-wider\">\n                        <h2 class=\"text-white font-semibold text-xl  md:text-2xl leading-tight\">\n                            Advances in the development of sustainable film products                        <\/h2>\n                                                    <h3 class=\"text-white  font-light font-serif text-l  md:text-1xl\">\n                                10 October 2026, 3:00 p.m.                             <\/h3>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"two-columns-block_9e4ee0c8c2ad7a759d083b3c3ead4159\" class=\"block-two-columns blocksection \">\n    <div class=\"theGridWrapper\">\n        <div class=\"theGrid12\">\n            <div class=\"wysiwyg\n            relative\n\n            col-start-1\n            col-span-12\n\n            md:col-start-3\n            md:col-span-9\n            md:gap-8\n\n            lg:col-start-3\n            lg:col-span-8\n\n            2xl:col-start-2\n            2xl:col-span-9\n\n            2xl:gap-[7rem]\n\n            sm:columns-2\n            hyphens-auto \n            sm:after:content-['\\00A0']\n            sm:after:block\n            sm:after:h-3xl\n            \">\n                <p>This session provides an overview of current research approaches for the reliable processing of recyclates in film extrusion and highlights ways to use material resources more efficiently and to improve recyclate quality for film applications.

However, their mechanical properties are strongly determined by the fiber orientation, the local microstructure and process-related influences. The reliable prediction of the stiffness of such materials therefore represents a central challenge for component design and structural simulation.<br \/>\nThis IKV-Impulse will present current approaches to data-driven modeling of short-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. The aim is to use data-based methods to improve the prediction of mechanical properties, in particular stiffness, and thus create a sound basis for material models in simulation. Current developments and results from research will be presented and it will be discussed how data-driven approaches can contribute to further improving the modeling and evaluation of fiber-reinforced plastics.<\/p>\n<h3>Main topics:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Data-based modeling for the prediction of stiffness in short-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics<\/li>\n<li>Use of experimental and simulative data to improve material models<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Moderation:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Nicolas Rozo Lopez, Institute for Plastics Processing (IKV) at RWTH Aachen University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Lectures:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Multi-fidelity approach with machine learning for short-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics<br \/>\nLuiz Lise, Institute for Plastics Processing (IKV) at RWTH Aachen University<\/li>\n<li>Machine learning approach for predicting effective properties of short fiber-reinforced thermoplastics<br \/>\nFlorian R\u00fcckert, TU Chemnitz, Chair of Solid Mechanics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tickets.ikv-aachen.de\/ticket\/ikv-impulse\/\">Registration<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n    <section id=\"headline-block_01cfb5f9de20607a72f36822430a4a50\" class=\"block-headline   mb-16\">\n        <div class=\"theGridWrapper hyphens-auto\">\n            <div class=\"theGrid12\">\n                <div class=\" grid grid-cols-11 col-span-11 md:grid-cols-9 md:col-span-9 bg-gradient-to-r from-70% from-blue     bg-green before:block before:content-['\\00A0'] before:absolute before:h-full before:border-l-[1px] before:border-green before:scale-150 \">\n                    <div class=\" col-span-8 col-start-2  pr-8 py-4 ikv-condensed tracking-wider\">\n                        <h2 class=\"text-white font-semibold text-xl  md:text-2xl leading-tight\">\n                            Safe and sustainable use of plastic recyclates (analysis, evaluation and application potential)                        <\/h2>\n                                                    <h3 class=\"text-white  font-light font-serif text-l  md:text-1xl\">\n                                March 17, 2026, 3:00 p.m.                            <\/h3>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"two-columns-block_fd897990afbde7d420620170772854a7\" class=\"block-two-columns blocksection \">\n    <div class=\"theGridWrapper\">\n        <div class=\"theGrid12\">\n            <div class=\"wysiwyg\n            relative\n\n            col-start-1\n            col-span-12\n\n            md:col-start-3\n            md:col-span-9\n            md:gap-8\n\n            lg:col-start-3\n            lg:col-span-8\n\n            2xl:col-start-2\n            2xl:col-span-9\n\n            2xl:gap-[7rem]\n\n            sm:columns-2\n            hyphens-auto \n            sm:after:content-['\\00A0']\n            sm:after:block\n            sm:after:h-3xl\n            \">\n                <p>The use of recycled plastics is coming under increasing pressure as a result of the European Packaging Ordinance (PPWR) and the growing requirements for sustainable material cycles.

The aim is to demonstrate the suitability and limits of large-volume, additively manufactured molds. The production of a longboard made of polyurethane (PUR) with an additively manufactured insert and a plasma-activated stainless steel sheet serves as a practical demonstrator.<\/p>\n<p>Conventional molds for PUR components are time-consuming and cost-intensive to manufacture, especially for prototypes and small series. By using SEAM technology, Moulds can be realized significantly faster, more flexibly and more cost-efficiently. The project focuses on the central questions of tool design: How can temperature control, fatigue strength and mechanical stability be integrated into an additively manufactured mold, and what limits result from the design?<\/p>\n<p>While IKV is responsible for the design, analysis and process evaluation, YIZUMI Germany is contributing its expertise to the design and production of the additive mold. Using the longboard as a demonstrator, the performance of the concept is clearly tested: Both the loads and quality requirements of a PUR component and the potential for industrial use become visible. The result is a proof of concept that shows how additively manufactured molds can be used for PUR components and what advantages they offer over conventional approaches &#8211; especially in terms of time, cost and flexibility.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n    <section id=\"headline-block_b58651aa9d16413e8a8e9ba7e69e400a\" class=\"block-headline   mb-16\">\n        <div class=\"theGridWrapper hyphens-auto\">\n            <div class=\"theGrid12\">\n                <div class=\" grid grid-cols-11 col-span-11 md:grid-cols-9 md:col-span-9 bg-gradient-to-r from-70% from-blue     bg-green before:block before:content-['\\00A0'] before:absolute before:h-full before:border-l-[1px] before:border-green before:scale-150 \">\n                    <div class=\" col-span-8 col-start-2  pr-8 py-4 ikv-condensed tracking-wider\">\n                        <h2 class=\"text-white font-semibold text-xl  md:text-2xl leading-tight\">\n                            Detect before defect &#8211; Early detection of roller clogging in extrusion processes                        <\/h2>\n                                                    <h3 class=\"text-white  font-light font-serif text-l  md:text-1xl\">\n                                September 30, 2025, 3:00 p.m.                            <\/h3>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"two-columns-block_c32c6e9ee011a93c4f778375f70daf2a\" class=\"block-two-columns blocksection \">\n    <div class=\"theGridWrapper\">\n        <div class=\"theGrid12\">\n            <div class=\"wysiwyg\n            relative\n\n            col-start-1\n            col-span-12\n\n            md:col-start-3\n            md:col-span-9\n            md:gap-8\n\n            lg:col-start-3\n            lg:col-span-8\n\n            2xl:col-start-2\n            2xl:col-span-9\n\n            2xl:gap-[7rem]\n\n            sm:columns-2\n            hyphens-auto \n            sm:after:content-['\\00A0']\n            sm:after:block\n            sm:after:h-3xl\n            \">\n                <p>Deposits on chill rollers are a well-known problem in flat film extrusion: they impair film quality, lead to rejects and reduce productivity. The formation of deposits occurs both with virgin material such as PET and especially with recycled material. IKV has therefore developed an optical inspection system that records the formation of deposits in-line and can be integrated cost-effectively into existing systems. A camera and intelligent image processing are used to analyze and objectively quantify gloss changes on the roller surface. This allows the formation of coatings to be tracked in time and space and correlated with process parameters and material properties.<\/p>\n<p>In the webinar, IKV presents the system development and current research results.

These are currently still an integral part of the process and pose various challenges. In addition to the extended cycle time due to the application into the cavity, the downstream cleaning of the mold and component also represents a time and financial expense. Precautions must also be taken for environmental and personal protection. In order to address this topic, the Impulse presentations will deal with dry demolding, i.e. the replacement of internal and external release agents with permanent, release-friendly tool coatings. The first lecture will present the concept of a measuring cell with which it will be possible to investigate the combination of material system and tool coating for a number of pieces in series production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Long-term investigation of permanent interfaces<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The possibility of release agent-free demolding of PUR systems has already been successfully demonstrated in previous IKV research projects. This means that it is already possible to produce suitable tool coatings for compact and foaming polyurethanes. However, the application of the coating is currently still a cost-intensive process that is only financially viable for large quantities. There are currently no reliable findings on the durability of the coating over several thousand demoldings. The first presentation will deal with the development of a measuring cell that will enable automated testing over the service life of the interface. Component production and demolding are to be automated. Meanwhile, measured values of the environment, the process and information about the demolding behavior are recorded over time. The collected values are stored in a database and make it possible to recognize changes in production and demoulding.<\/p>\n<p>In his presentation, Hendrik Beiersdorf (ACMOS Chemie) will provide in-depth insights into modern release agent technologies for various PU application areas. In a clear and practical manner, he demonstrates the special features of cold foam and integral foam applications and compares two different separation processes in terms of their respective advantages and disadvantages.<br data-start=\"520\" data-end=\"523\">Further information and the exact title of the lecture will follow shortly.<\/p>\n<h3>Main topics<strong>:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Polyurethane processing<\/li>\n<li>Digitalisation<\/li>\n<li>Interface layers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Moderation:<\/h3>\n<p>Jonathan Alms, IKV<\/p>\n<h3>Lectures:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Development of a measuring cell for automated testing of the fatigue strength of permanent release coatings (Lucas Rau, IKV)<\/li>\n<li>Release agent-related influencing variables in cold flexible and integral foam production (Hendrik Beiersdorf, ACMOS CHEMIE KG)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n    <section id=\"headline-block_41e48d713100800533eb15b116417c69\" class=\"block-headline   mb-16\">\n        <div class=\"theGridWrapper hyphens-auto\">\n            <div class=\"theGrid12\">\n                <div class=\" grid grid-cols-11 col-span-11 md:grid-cols-9 md:col-span-9 bg-gradient-to-r from-70% from-blue     bg-green before:block before:content-['\\00A0'] before:absolute before:h-full before:border-l-[1px] before:border-green before:scale-150 \">\n                    <div class=\" col-span-8 col-start-2  pr-8 py-4 ikv-condensed tracking-wider\">\n                        <h2 class=\"text-white font-semibold text-xl  md:text-2xl leading-tight\">\n                            Artificial intelligence for the plastics industry &#8211;

In the automotive industry, for example, these requirements include high temperature and media resistance. Thermosets are among the plastics that are able to meet these requirements due to their high cross-linking density. However, their high cross-linking density means that thermosets, unlike thermoplastics, cannot be joined by welding. Accordingly, the screw connection, in particular the direct screw connection, represents a promising possibility for realizing an economical and detachable connection of thermoset components. In contrast to thermoplastics, however, there are no guidelines for the design of a direct screw connection for thermosets. This knowledge gap is to be closed as part of the cooperation between the IKV and the KTP in the &#8220;Duroplast Direktverschraubung II&#8221; project. To this end, design guidelines for direct bolting are to be developed for both short and long-term stresses.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the lecture, IKV will present the results already achieved in the field of short-term loading of thermoset direct screw connections. In addition, the intended investigations into the long-term dynamic loading of thermoset direct bolted joints are outlined and discussed.<\/p>\n<h3>Main topics<strong>:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Thermoset injection molding<\/li>\n<li>Direct screwing of plastics<\/li>\n<li>Mechanical testing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Moderation:<\/h3>\n<p>Dr.-Ing.
