New composite materials for injection molding and extrusion applications based on commodity thermoplastics and cellulose man-made fibers are the goal of a joint project of the Fraunhofer Institutes for Applied Polymer Research (IAP), Chemical Technology (ICT) and Mechanics of Materials Halle (IWM(H)). Besides materials development we pursue suitable compounding and processing methods and open up new fields of application in the sector of engineering plastics.
