Academic thesis for students
Challenge and objective
In the interests of efficient and economical production of lightweight structures, a novel manufacturing process for thermoplastic fibre-reinforced composites (FRP) was developed and researched at the ITA of RWTH Aachen University. FibreCoat GmbH as a Start-Up was founded to commercialise this devel- opment. FibreCoat GmbH is currently working on scaling up the production process to industrial scale.
Thereby the thesis will be carried out in direct cooperation with ITA.
Your task/motivation/requirement
To start, you will first produce glass fibres yourself and then coat them using our novel production method. You will later evaluate the fibre composites produced in this way with regards to their mechanical properties using different analytical methods and compare them with commercial products.
As most of the materials are available, you will be able to begin your thesis immediately. What we offer is a personal and intensive supervision as well as a compact completion period. Upon a successful completion of your thesis, you would also have the chance to publish your work as a co-author.
Are you motivated to discover something new? Are you looking for good supervision for your thesis (FL/PA/BA/MA) and an exciting and promising topic? Then get in touch with us!
