Projects Laboratory of Adhesives and Polymer Materials IMPE

This feasibility study is intended to show which systematic material properties, in particular the viscoelastic behavior, lead to a good punching process.

This project involves the development of a bio-based and biodegradable alternative to fossil plastics through the use of guar gum. This can close material cycles and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Development of PEF- and PET-hydrogels with further biopolymers for Thai shrimp farms wastewater treatment through chemical recycling.

From 2021 to 2024, the Innovation Booster (IB) Applied Circular Sustainability supports the pre-development of radical solution ideas for 100% recyclable products and systems - and this for all industries and economic sectors in Switzerland.

A lens printer is intended to produce high-quality optical lenses with selectable focal lengths for small series at low cost.

With the innovation project Gluepack a new technology will be developed to connect singlepunched laminations to a stator / rotor stack by adhesive. This adhesive stacking technology increases the efficiency of electric motors without affecting its economy. The Institute of Materials and Process…

The aim of the project is to develop an innovative rubber adhesive technology for structural applications with good adhesion spectrum on different surfaces, tolerance to different thermal expansion coefficients of different materials such as aluminum, fiber composites, steel and combinations…

The aim of the project is to develop new polyolefinic adhesives for use as hotmelt adhesive films. Adhesion improvement to various substrates such as aluminum is achieved by the targeted introduction of functional groups. Maleic anhydride (MAH) serves as one possible functional group. Similar…
