18/10/2017SUSCHEM – Process Adapted Polymers
PROJECT IDEA CONCEPT for DT-NMBP-01-2018: Open
Innovation Test Beds for Lightweight, nano-enabled
multifunctional composite materials and components (IA)
Process chain carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRP)
• Short-time-infiltration and -solidification of reinforcing fiber architecture with new processadapted polymers to reduce the dominating process costs
• New polymer modifications with nanostuctural aspects in the polymer chain structure andinclusion of polymer additives to influence matrix behaviour and properties as well as fibre/matrixinteraction
• Polymer structures with reversible chemical & physical bondings to support infiltration andimprove recycling aspects

INNOVATIVE ASPECTS
Nano-Structural Approach(crystalline / noncristallin)
Nano-Additive Approach(Matrix & Fibre/Matrix Area)
Structural Networks with reversible bondings (chemical & physical crosslinking)

EXPECTED IMPACT
• Weight reduction compared to classical materials > 40%;
• Process cost reduction from currently 75% to 25% of the total carbon composite costs
• Cost reduction from 30-50 €/kg to 15 €/kg for the composite material
• Potential for new material design with further cost reduction equivalent of < 15 €/kg by material property related parameters (strength/stiffness per cost)
• Potential for new polymer systems for additive manufacturing concepts
