It's all in the mix: Julian Rech completed his doctorate on the development of durable plastic composites
Plastic composites are team players: only the right combination of fibres or particles makes them stable, versatile and durable. The decisive factor here is the interaction at the invisible boundary between the plastic and the filler - it determines whether the material breaks or holds. Mathematical models and experiments were combined in this doctoral thesis in order to better understand and predict this interaction. This resulted in a method that can be used to develop new materials faster and more cost-effectively.
