Laboratory of Coatings and Ecological Polymers

  • designing and preparation of polymer binders and vehicles;
  • preparation of solvent-based, solvent-less, water-thinnable and powder varnishes, paints and adhesives (thermoreactive, photoreactive, nanocomposite-type etc.);
  • preparation, modyfication, characterisation of micro- and noanofillers for polymer materials;
  • characterisation of coating materials (e.g. barrier, anticorrosive, electrical, optical and mechanical features).

Laboratory of Natural Polymer Materials

  • designing and preparation of plasticizers for natural polymers (e.g. starch);
  • modification and moulding of natural polymers - designing and preparation of micro- and nanocomposites with natural polumer-based matrices;
  • preparation and characterisation of sorbents;
  • optical analysis of materials by means of laser scanning microscope (surface analysis, roughtness measurements);
  • determination of molecular weight of polymer materials by means of gel chromatography technique.

Laboratory of Polymers Thermal Analysis

  • designing and preparation of new micro- and nanocomposites based on thermplastics and thermosetting materials;
  • optimalisation and moulding of polymer materials via extrusion, injection, compression, casting, RTM-technique, lamination etc.;
  • characterisation of composite materials (thermal, rheological, mechanical features).

Laboratory of Elastomers and Chemical Fibers Technology

  • designing and preparation of elastomeric and fibre forming polymers (including nanocomposites and biodegradable polymer materials);
  • optimisation of elastomeric materials and chemical fibers preparation techniques.
