The Regional Competence Centre for Labour Research (KARE) invites representatives from business, politics and society to the second network session on 27 November 2025 at REHAU in Erlangen. The focus will be on specific application scenarios for the circular economy […]
The RaPPoD research project aims to enable the validation of previously undemonstrated component properties for laser-sintered PP parts by developing a suitable PP powder and laser sintering monolayers. The RaPPoD – Rapid PBF Polymer Development project marks the launch of […]
The use of post-consumer recycled plastics (PCR) is becoming increasingly important in technically demanding products. In addition to ecological advantages, raw material security and regulatory requirements are becoming increasingly important. However, while recycled materials have long been established in packaging […]
Geometric measurements are an important component of modern quality assurance for plastic products. Inline measurement of the layer thickness of pipes or analysis of multi-layer composite systems enables dimensional accuracy to be checked and, if necessary, corrected. To this end, […]
A new testing device now enables the SKZ plastics centre in Würzburg to determine water vapour permeability. This is an important quality criterion in many industrial applications. The SKZ Plastics Centre has expanded its equipment with a state-of-the-art measuring system: […]
The launch of a new research project marks the start of the search for sustainable alternatives to PFAS-containing plastics in the electronics industry. The aim is to develop high-performance, PFAS-free materials for use in radar sensors in the industrial, logistics […]
Fuel cells are considered a key technology for the energy transition. However, they place high demands on the materials used, and their mass production has been a major challenge to date. Important progress has recently been made in this area […]
The CREATE innovation cluster supports companies in successfully transferring bio-based plastics and composites into industrial practice. The network is hosting its first symposium on 10 November 2025. The CREATE network already brings together more than 60 players along the entire […]
The SKZ Plastics Centre, together with its industry partners Reinhausen Power Composites GmbH and PS Werkzeuge Vorrichtungen Metallbearbeitungs GmbH, has launched a new research project to develop innovative materials for high-voltage insulators. The aim is to develop a high-performance liquid […]
The expansion and maintenance of district heating networks are essential for the heat transition. Qualified training and further education of specialist personnel is the necessary basis for this. The SKZ Plastics Centre offers the practical training courses required for this […]
