JAS

Areas of Application

  • Polymer industry - additives (fire retardants, plasticizer, solvents) and characterization of the polymers
  • Geochemistry (fossil fuels, tar, bitumen)
  • Environmental analytics (soils, sediments)
  • Food chemistry and food packaging
  • Inks and paints
  • Forensics (tars, adhesive agent, fibers)
  • Wood Sciences and Paper Industry

Practicability

Material Characterization

  • Determination of the chemical composition
  • Characterization of the polymers

Material Research

  • Influence of various additives on production and usability of plastic products
  • Increasing thermal resistance
  • In combination with UV-Irradiator = weather-induced degradation tests of polymers, simulating photo/thermal-oxidative degradation processes at the surface
  • Increasing durability by thermal treatment
  • Wooden building material - investigation of degradation processes
  • Release of pollutants due to enhanced temperatures
