Potential ideas and partners
Looking for project partners that need an expert in polymers, their
modification, processing and testing.
AIMPLAS has sound expertise in biopolymers and nanocomposites.
Potential cooperation lines: advanced coatings (anti-scratch, anti-
icing, anti-fouling), electrical and thermal conductive polymers,
antimicrobial, flame retardancy, smart materials, fast curing of
composites, nanocomposites and biocomposites optimisation
