The Material Cycles competence field deals with fundamental issues related to the use of materials in a closed carbon cycle. Particular attention is paid to the use of renewable raw materials, such as natural fibers or fillers, chemicals and polymers from renewable sources.In addition, the recycling of materials and components made of composites, with a focus on carbon fibers, is an important aspect in the optimal use of raw materials and thus part of the competence field activities.Across topics, thermal resistance and surface propertiesfor best possible fiber-matrix bonding and high-performanceuse are key issues. Naturally occurring structuresin natural fibers can, if used in a targeted manner,provide added value through additional functionality.Understanding this fundamentally is also the subject ofresearch in the competence field.
