Polymers
We are experts in plastics and polymers, we develop and test formulations and recycling routes.
Thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers:
- Physical, chemical, thermochemical and biological recycling of thermoplastics and thermosets.
- Development and optimisation of new thermoplastic and thermoset formulations; high performance polymers.
- Formulation and optimisation of biopolymers and biodegradable polymers. Formulations of sustainable origin (lignins, oils, etc.) and 100% bio-based.
- Moulding methodologies and optimisation of formulations. Extrusion (compound/ film), injection and 3D printing.
Coatings and adhesives:
- Formulation and development of coatings and adhesives of different types. Eco-sustainable and 100% bio-based formulations.
- Application methodologies on different substrates for industries such as packaging, textile, automotive, wind energy or construction.
MIPs and PRIs:
- Formulation and development of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and ionically imprinted polymers (IIPs) for targeted environmental remediation.
Digitalization:
- Digital Twins for process optimisation, predictions or parameter variation. Artificial Intelligence simulation models for pattern identification in historical data.
- Sensor network systems for parameter control, selective waste separation and on-line analysis based on photonic techniques, Artificial Vision or IoT. Process automation and robotic devices.
- Blockchain for traceability control and certification of origin or processes applied to the polymer sector.
Sustainability analysis:
- Life Cycle and Cost Cycle Analysis, and Social Life Cycle of products and processes.
- Water and carbon footprint.
- Product environmental declaration according to international standards.
We research and formulate advanced and sustainable polymers and coatings from recycled and renewable raw materials.
