Processing and Performance
The Processing and Performance of Materials group of Eindhoven University of Technology provides education on and conducts research in the broad area of material technology, i.e. the industrial arts of manufacturing of polymer-based products.
"Bridge the gap from molecule via processing to product properties… and back"
Design of polymer products and shaping processes benefit from a change from experimental trial-and-error to quantitative predictive capability. The main objective is to provide knowledge and models for the prediction and understanding of structure development during processing and the resulting final properties of polymeric products. These properties are determined by intrinsic (molecular) material parameters and, to a great extent, by the processing conditions.

The research is aimed at bridging the gap between science and technology in the area of polymer processing and design, through the use of experimental and computational tools in the modeling of the full thermo-mechanical history of material (elements) during their formation, processing and final design, to quantitatively predict properties of processed objects.
