DACOMAT - Damage Controlled Composite Materials

20 February 2018

The objective of DACOMAT is to develop more damage tolerant and damage predictable low cost composite materials in particular aimed for used in large load carrying constructions like bridges, buildings, wind-turbine blades and offshore structures. The developed materials and condition monitoring solutions will provide high tolerance for manufacturing imperfections and high capacity to sustain damages. This will enable large composite structures to be manufactured and maintained at low cost.

SFI Circular – Value creation in a green economy

23 January 2018

Norway and the EU are prioritising a Circular Economy agenda to deliver the next generation of jobs, growth and investment. Research funds, innovation support, consumer demands and legislative requirements will provide opportunities for those businesses using resources more productively.

PlastiCircle - Improvement of the plastic packaging waste chain from a circular economy approach

07 July 2017

PlastiCircle aims to develop and implement a holistic process to increase recycling rates of packaging waste in Europe. This will allow to reprocess plastic waste in the same value chain. This process is based on collection, transport, sorting, and valorization in value-added products.

Laboratories

Mass spectrometry - Advanced research-based analyses

We perform research-based mass spectrometric (MS) and high-throughput (HTS) analyses for SINTEF, academia and industry.

Materials testing

We can test and characterise a wide range of different materials in our laboratories. Materials and components are bent, tensioned and compressed, and go through fracture- and fatigue tests.
