Polymer Engineering
Dr.-Ing. Leyu Lin
The Polymer Engineering Group investigates the process-structure-property relationships of polymeric materials. A particular focus is placed on hybrid reinforcement concepts and, in addition to mechanical and chemical properties, on the tribological behavior of polymer-based tribocomposites. The aim of our research is to advance the development of high-performance and resource-efficient materials and components through a deeper understanding of these interrelationships. Particular emphasis is placed on the efficient use of energy and resources as well as the recyclability and circularity of polymers, which form the basis for sustainable material and component development.
