    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.
