New Method for Investigating Degree of Degradation
Fraunhofer researchers have developed a method to test whether PAMs degrade in the environment and how quickly this happens. The new method can also be used in other areas to investigate the persistence and degradation of polymers and microplastics in the environment.

Less Costs and Better Product Features Thanks to Thermoplastic Tapes?
AZL Aachen GmbH in cooperation with the Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) in Industry and the Skilled Crafts at RWTH Aachen University and the Aachen Center for Integrative Lightweight Production (AZL) of RWTH Aachen University.
