CIDETEC Surface Engineering Hosts Training on Composite Materials

Experts discuss the future of epoxy resins and their role in creating recyclable materials within the CUBIC project.

CIDETEC Surface Engineering was the venue for the second training session of the academic program under the CUBIC project, organized in collaboration with Specific Polymers on October 9th. The event gathered 21 participants interested in exploring the journey of epoxy resins, from their discovery to their use in vitrimer technology, to develop more sustainable composite materials.

The training addressed the challenge of replacing petroleum-derived monomers with bio-based alternatives and the potential of adaptable covalent networks, which enable the creation of self-healing, moldable, and recyclable materials. Additionally, the use of 3R epoxy resins patented by CIDETEC Surface Engineering in the production of circular materials was highlighted, with a particular focus on their chemical, mechanical, and thermoforming recycling processes.

This session provided researchers with a valuable opportunity to acquire and share knowledge on the new generation of sustainable resins and composite materials.
