This "toolkit" introduces school pupils to the fascinating world of fiber reinforced plastics. Special attention is put on the advantageous properties of these materials and also the hurdles that still have to be overcome to fully recycle fiber reinforced plastics. In addition, school pupils will get an insight into biobased matrix materials which open up a host of research opportunities and have the potential to party solve the recycling problem.(download pdf)
Das vorliegende „Toolkit“ soll die spannende Welt der Faserverbundwerkstoffe für
Schülerinnen und Schüler erlebbar gemacht werden. Hierbei soll besonderes Augenmerk
einerseits auf die Leistungsfähigkeit dieser Werkstoffe, andererseits aber auch auf die
bislang noch nicht hinreichend geklärten Schwierigkeiten bei Fragen des Recyclings von FVK
gelegt werden. Gleichzeitig soll den Schülerinnen und Schülern ein Ausblick auf die
Möglichkeiten von biobasierten Matrixwerkstoffen ermöglicht werden, die eine Teillösung
des Recyclingproblems und vielfältige Forschungsfelder eröffnen.
