English
For most technical applications of plastic materials, it is extremely important that the performance of polymer used is not degrading too fast. When new products are being made with – even small amounts of – recycled plastics, this discussion becomes more complex both in terms of product safety and product performance – particularly lifetime. Can we measure the degradation? How much of a recycled polymer is safe to add too your raw material? What can we do to minimize the degradation?
The seminar provides state-of-the art knowledge on degradation of polymers covering both degradation mechanisms and methods to quantify the degradations. Several industrial case stories will focus on degradation of recycled polymers and highlight the opportunities and limitations observed when using recycled materials in actual products.
Target audience
Companies working with technical polymers in general and particularly companies having products with tight specifications or companies planning to include recycled polymers in their products.
Organizers
This seminar is organized by Torben Tang (IPU) from our Surface and Corrosion Steering Group and Emil Andersen (LEGO A/S) from our Polymer Steering Group.
