Human mobility is entering a new era and in all these changes polymeric materials are playing a key role. The car of the future should be safe, comfortable and sustainable. Our polymer processing capabilities offer unique options for combining dissimilar materials like metals, thermoplastics, rubbers, thermosets, and advanced composites, all functionally integrated in a lightweight hybrid design. Our research programme in lightweighting focuses on materials, processing and recycling aspects of engineering plastics, composites and hybrids.
