Division 5.6

Mechanical Behaviour of Polymers

Competence

The division investigates the mechanical properties of polymers, composites and polymer films focussing on questions of damage and long-term behaviour.

Fields of activity

Evaluation of liability and long-term behaviour of materials and components made of polymers and composites
Characterization of the mechanical properties of materials and components made of polymers and composites
Development and standardization of procedures for monitoring and evaluation of damage in materials and components made of polymers and composites
Characterization and modification of polymer films on microscale for applications in micro-technology
Development of methods for the characterization of surfaces and thin films
