The Institut für Kunststofftechnik (IKT) at the University of Stuttgart is one of the leading German research institutes in plastics engineering and covers the entire field of polymer technology, from material engineering and processing technology to product engineering.
Extensive expertise is available in the modification, compounding, processing, and characterization of polymers and plastics for specific applications and tailored property profiles. Key competences include bio-based and biodegradable polymers, fiber-reinforced plastics, recycling, polymer modification, and compounding, complemented by comprehensive characterization capabilities covering rheological, thermal, mechanical, chemical, and morphological material properties.
IKT is seeking partners for a project on bio-based polymer additives. We offer expertise in compounding, processing, and material characterization and are looking for partners with capabilities in additive development or production.
