  • Investigation GroupCellular Materials Laboratory (CellMat)


Description

Our laboratory has developed technologies to manufacture a wide range of polymeric cellular foamed materials with high mechanical strength and low densities. Besides, they have low heat and electric conducting and depending on their cellular structure they have excellent properties as acoustic insulators. These materials can be manufactured based on different polymers like, for example, PE, PP, PMMA, PS, PC, PLA, PET and PA.

Number of researchers:

19

Development status:

Developed but not marketed

Intellectual Property Rights:

Patent

Differentiation in the market:

Novelty

Applicability of technology:

Yes

Companies and markets:

Plastic manufacturers, transforming and final industries (automotive, aeronautics, building, packing, sports, biotechnology,etc.)

Advantages:

Foams that improve the following features: rigidity, mechanical resistance and energy absorption capacity under shock loads, high melting temperature, good vibration absorption capacity, good acoustic absorption, high resistance to fire.

Additional Information:

We have an extensive experience in CellMat of collaborating with companies and works of transfer of knowledge and technology. Some of our developments have been introduced in industrial processes in the production facilities of some of our partners. Our interest with this technology is to find right partners to make it rise and make successful products from it.
