Montanuniversität Leoben - Werkstoffkunde und Prüfung der Kunststoffe
WPK has two main focuses: Firstly, there is research of structure property performance correlations in polymeric materials and composites on all size scales (molecular-nano-micro-macro) with the goal of material optimisation and development. Secondly, research focuses on modelling and prediction of structural and functional properties with the goal of component development and design optimisation.
Technologies and competences
Competences lie in the field of the mechanical behaviour of polymers and composites under complex loading conditions (quasi-static, creep fatigue and impact mechanical loads, temperature, medias). Furthermore, testing methods are developed and a focus lies on the determination of material laws and the transfer on component performance.
