      Adhesive modification and functionalisation laboratory

      Laboratorio de modificación y funcionalización de adhesivos

      Laboratory equipped for the synthesis of water-based polymer systems by means of emulsion, improving adhesives, characterising them and characterising adhesive bonds.

      Description

      The equipment available in this laboratory includes:

      • Discontinuous reactor.
      • Thermo Scientific HAAKE RheoStress 6000 rheometer.
      • EXAKT three-roll calender.
      • Dispermat CA 60.
      • Vacuum oven.
      • Airflow incubator.
      • Hot press machine.
      • Portable ultrasonic equipment.

      In addition to the synthesis of water-based polymer systems by means of emulsion, this laboratory also works on:

      • Modifying adhesives to improve their properties and/or provide other functionalities (thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, sensorisation capacity, change in processing window, self-repair, etc.).
      • Characterising adhesives (rheology, mechanical properties, composition, ageing).
      • Characterising adhesive joints (static and dynamic tests, ageing, development of test matrices and experimental design).

      Aimed at:

      • Industrial sectors where adhesive bonding technology has become an enabling technology for innovative and sustainable manufacturing.
