Polymeric and Composite Materials
Coordinator: Fernão Magalhães
Objectives
This research group is focused on developing polymer-based materials and composites with innovative properties and improved performances, taking into account environmental, economic and social sustainability principles. Research activities have a strong connection with industry and involve different aspects of product development, like synthesis, functionalization, formulation, processing, testing, prototyping, and scale-up.
Major research topics
Natural and synthetic adhesives

Coatings (architectural, textile, tribological)

Thermoplastic composites

Wood and cork-based composites

Reactive Injection Moulding - RIM
