The Sustainable Polymeric & Composite Materials (SUSMAT) research unit aims at the production of new environmentally friendly functional polymers and composites, studying the physico-chemical and thermo-mechanical behavior of the related materials by a combined approach of instrumented experimental testing and adequate numerical modelling.
SUSMAT research unit intensively participates in the National Composites Centre - Luxembourg (NCC-L).
We focus on three main areas :
Our activities include research and development concerning:
