AIMPLAS

Here at AIMPLAS, we are experts in developing new products for the plastics industry. We provide the necessary technological support to get the most ambitious projects up and running, enhancing the properties of materials and optimising transformation processes. AIMPLAS research lines are organized to meet the goals of the societal challenges: Health (medical devices, controlled drug materials, new materials for diagnosis and treatment),
Industry 4.0 (additive manufacturing, plastronics, functional printing), Circular economy (mechanical and chemical recycling,biodegradable materials, use of CO2 and biomass) , Climate change and Decarbonisation of the economy, (energy efficient buildings, renewable energies, CO2 capture, sustainable materials), Food security (active and smart packaging), Agriculture and sustainable silviculture ( plastic from residues, pest control) and Sustainable mobility (high performance composites and multifunctional and hybrid materials and coatings).
