High-performance, circular-by-design, bio-based thermosets project partner search

Sazcılar has been producing glass fiber reinforced polymer composite parts with a wide production capacity for the main sectors of Automotive, Railway, Machinery and Agricultural Equipment since 1987, with its 10.000 Tons/Year GRP production capacity, Sazcılar has many production technologies. These can be listed as RTM, SMC, BMC, Hand Lay Up, Prepreg, Vacuum Infusion. It also has many production skills. These can be listed as lightweight sandwich production, soft touch covering, complete assembly, The company is able to carry out all processes of FRP production in-house (from mould production to painting process). On the engineering side; CATIA V5, MSC Nastran, Patran, Apex, ZW3D are used. Here in Sazcılar, we also provide engineering services in addition to manufacturing. Reverse engineering, co-design, industrial, mechanic design and fast prototyping are among our services. Besides, we can evaluate the lamination stacking sequence (LSS) and other components using finite element method according to EN 12663-1 standard in means of static structural endurance. Sazcılar has big capability on the laboratory side. Mechanical properties such as tensile, bending, compression, shear, fatigue in the laboratory; aging of FRP materials against UV and water; chemical properties of resins such as gel time, shrinkage, viscosity; gloss, color and thickness of the coatings are performed. On the R&D side, natural products, biocomposites, high-tech FRP production, functional FRP materials, recycling of thermoset materials ad etc. issues are being studied. According to these experiances, based on consortium partners Sazcılar can take industrial application side with material characterisation. Besides that, if needed engineering scope can be handled.

Therefore we are looking for a partners to make a project for High-performance, circular-by-design, bio-based thermosets topics.
