Integrated Polymer Fractionation and Analysis Platform (i-PFAP)

聚合物和聚合物基复合材料覆盖了广泛的应用领域，在新的制造方法和产品设计方面显示出巨大的应用潜力。这些材料是复杂的多组分体系，其中材料的性质直接取决于聚合物的分子结构。需要强大的模型来充分理解和描述这些结构-属性关系。这对于根据各自的分子结构定制特定的聚合物属性是必要的。目前，还没有一种理论能够从整体上涵盖分子结构与聚合物的热力学和流变性之间的关系，从而能够定性和定量地预测这些性质。作为重新定位的结果，技术热力学和节能材料处理主席处理结构-性能-关系的实验确定的研究领域，并结合获得整体模型的新理论的发展，以描述这些关系并预测各自的聚合物性能。目前计划的研究项目涉及聚合物热力学领域中目前和高度相关的问题和问题。教席提供的实验设备和仪器无法满足各自研究项目中规定的要求。这就是为什么有必要获得一种新的实验装置来测定聚合物的结构-性质-关系，特别是对于聚烯烃和聚烯烃混合物。基于新的实验装置，可以为回答和澄清聚合物热力学中高度相关的问题做出重大贡献。这些发现将作为考虑回收行为的聚合物制造中新的聚合物设计和新方法的基础。

Polymers and polymer matrix composites cover a wide range of applications and show a great potential for future application possibilities for new manufacturing methods and product designs. These materials are complex multicomponent systems, where material properties are directly dependent on the molecular structure of the polymer. Strong models are required to fully understand and describe these structure-property relationships. This is necessary for tailoring specific polymer properties based on the respective molecular structure. Today, there is no theory available, which covers the relation of molecular structure and the thermodynamic and rheological properties of the polymer holistically and further allows the prediction of these properties qualitatively and quantitatively. As a result of the reorientation, the Chair of Technical Thermodynamics and Energy Efficient Material Treatment deals with the research field of experimental determination of structure-property-relationships combined with the development of new theories for gaining holistic models, to describe these relationships and predict the respective polymer properties. Present and highly relevant issues and questions in the field of polymer thermodynamics are addressed in the currently planned research projects. The experimental equipment and apparatus, which is available at the Chair, is unable to fulfil the requirements, which are stated in the respective research projects. This is the reason why it is necessary to obtain a new experimental apparatus for determining the structure-property-relationships of polymers, especially for polyolefins and polyolefine mixtures. Based on the new experimental apparatus a major contribution can be made for answering and clarifying highly relevant questions in polymer thermodynamics. The findings, which are made, will serve as a base for new polymer designs and new methods in polymer manufacturing under consideration of the recycling behaviour.
