powered by Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF#LBFDeepDive: Reliable and safe components, even when using recycled plastics
Expert knowledge meets practice!
The requirements for a functioning circular economy are increasing, as is the need for solutions that allow for the safe and sustainable use of plastic recyclates in high-quality applications. The #LBFDeepDive from Fraunhofer LBF is the perfect solution.
Experience an intensive day of events, during which Fraunhofer LBF experts will demonstrate how innovative additives, precise analyses, and modern simulation techniques can ensure the reliability of plastic components with recycled content.
The #LBFDeepDive highlights key aspects of the entire value chain – from materials and manufacturing processes to end-of-life – offering in-depth insights into the latest developments and concrete solutions.
#LBFDeepDive topics
- Additives – Driving Circularity in Plastics:
- What role does additive selection play in successful formulation development?
- What are the particular challenges of post-stabilizing recyclates depending on the material flow?
- To what extent can severely damaged recyclates be post-stabilized?
- Analytics – Troubleshooting along the Value Chain:
- How can a rapid and interdisciplinary root cause analysis be ensured in the event of damage to plastic components?
- What solutions are available when damage is caused by complex factors such as material aging, processing influences or operational loads?
- How can modern analytics, combined with sound plastics expertise help to sustainably increase component reliability?
- Simulation – Turning Visuals into Real-World Applications:
- How can the complex material behavior of plastics be captured in structural simulations?
- How can manufacturing and environmental influences be incorporated into structural simulations?
- How are finite element method (FEM) models validated using specific testing methods to accurately predict stiffness, creep, and failure modes under real loads, and to optimize components?
