Seminar om nedbrydning af polymerer

Teknologisk Videndeling inviterer til seminar d. 28. januar 2025 på VIA University College i Horsens. Seminaret giver den nyeste viden om polymernedbrydning med fokus på både grundlæggende nedbrydningsprincipper og de mekanismer, der er involveret.

The seminar will be held in English.

The long-term durability and recyclability of polymer materials are becoming increasingly vital to our society. For almost all technical applications of polymers, a slow degradation during use will lead to longer service life. This is good for product reliability and for the CO2 footprint per year.

Slow and controlled degradation is also essential for recyclability since it will allow products to be recycled – even after many years of service – into new products of a similar type. The only negative effect of slow polymer degradation is accumulation of plastic waste – should the product by mistake find its way into nature.

The seminar provides state-of-the art knowledge on degradation of polymers covering both fundamental degradation principles and mechanisms involved. It will also feature industrial case stories highlighting the opportunities and limitations of currently used products and technologies.

Target audience

Designers and mechanical engineers in production companies. Quality assurance people in general, as well as medical device or food processing equipment manufacturers – or other business segments with a high focus on polymer safety and reliability in harsh environments.

This seminar was organized in collaboration with our surface steering group Anette Alsted Rasmussen (Corrosion Advice) and Peter Torben Tang (IPU) and polymer steering group member Edwin Groothuis (Erteco Rubber and Plastics AB).
