Collaborative project: Particle foam material based on raw materials containing starch. Subproject 1: Procedural and molding development
Project
Project code: 22011612
Contract period: 01.11.2013
- 31.10.2015
Budget: 124,637 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
The aim is to develop a particle foam for the production of moulded parts. Natural polymers constitute the raw materials basis in this case.
The demands placed on the material are oriented towards the products established on the market. Low densities, good mechanical properties in terms of strength, elasticity and shock absorption, a low abrasion as well as a relative resistance to humidity are all required.
