The designing and characterization of polymer micro and nano-composites are based on native and recycled thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers suitably incorporating fillers of different size and shape, and additives that can improve compatibility between the components. The main objectives include a control on the processing and structure of the composites resulting in enhanced properties and effective practical application. Novel devices will be attached to the current technological equipment allowing more precise control of the processing and formation of reinforced or hybrid composites. The size and shape of the filler, the surface and interfacial interactions affecting the rheological, thermal, physico-chemical and mechanical properties of the composite materials are examined in details. Experimental results and theoretical predictions are correlated following the processing-structure-properties relationships.

The study is performed in three Work packages:

  • Work Package 1. Special performance epoxy composites. Coordinator: Assist. Valeriy Tzvetkov
  • Work Package 2. Technology development for new polymer composites processing. Structural, thermal and physico-mechanical characterization of newly developed materials. Coordinator: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Margarita Natova
  • Work Package 3. Recycling of secondary (postconsumer) polyethylene terephthalate (PET) from packagings. Coordinator: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Strashimir Djoumaliisky
