activities in the field of thermoplasts:

• In cooperation with partners or customers, we carry out structural design, structural analysis and technological development of aircraft components made of composite materials with a thermoplastic matrix
• Thermomechanical analysis of materials
• Static and fatigue testing of samples, nodes and structures
• Operational and climatic testing of samples, nodes and structures

Equipment:

• Heated plates, workshop press, via subcontractor - autoclave and heated press
• Static and fatigue structural testing laboratories
• Laboratory for thermomechanical analyses
• Laboratory for operational and climatic tests

Research projects:

• THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES - “Verification methods for design and production technology for parts of advanced structures made of reinforced thermoplastic”, (2009-2012. MIT – TIP1, project No. FR-TI1/463)
• THERMOPLASTS – “Research and development of modern production technologies for parts and applications made of high performance composites with thermoplastic matrix”, (2013-2016, TAČR – ALFA3, project No. TA03010209)
