Project description

Processability and performance are two key indicators to identify the quality of recycled plastic films. To obtain means to predict this recycling quality, a link from the material composition, to its flow behavior, processing window, and morphology developments is required. However, this thorough link is obsolete in the literature. This project aims at finding these links and making the quality of the recyclates predictable.
