In March, a delegation from AUTH, including Prof. Dimitrios Bikiaris, Christina Samiotaki and Alexandra Zamboulis, visited SILON’s facilities to produce some rPEX samples. Martin Sedláček, Vacláv Chlumák and Milan Plicka warmly welcomed us, sharing their experience throughout our experiments. Various materials were prepared on SILON’s laboratory kneader, and insightful observations were drawn from the torque fluctuation during the reactive extrusion process. Fruitful discussions with SILON’s team were of capital
importance for advancing REDONDO project.
You can learn more about the approach of REDONDO towards the development of a reversibly cross-linked polyethylene (rPEX) in the project's website.
