(QF) MATERIALS SCIENCE, CHARACTERIZATION & TESTING

We have years of experience in working on preparation and characterization of PVC blends for various applications. In recent time research has been oriented to preparation and characterization of polymer blends and composites with biodegradable polymers in order to improve the properties and to expand the application fields. Particular attention has been paid to modification of polymers with by-products of processing of some Mediterranean crops, for example, modification of polylactide with grounded olive stones.

IRDL's ambition is to play, in the short term, an even more important role at the regional, national and international levels in the resolution of current issues related to the engineering of materials and systems used in the industrial sectors related to automotive, energy, aeronautics, health, transport and more particularly all areas in dynamic interaction with the marine environment, such as shipbuilding and offshore, marine energies.
