Core offering

TCKT is an applied research and development center focused on plastics and polymer technology. It delivers contract research, materials characterization, material development, processing technology, and composite services to industrial clients, while also executing publicly funded research projects together with academic and public partners.

Product overview

TCKT (Transfercenter für Kunststofftechnik GmbH) is an applied research and development center focused on all areas of plastics technology. The organization operates through two main service lines: (1) Auftragswesen (Industry Orders/Contract Services) providing materials characterisation, materials development, processing techniques, and composite services; and (2) Research Projects covering polymer blends, fillers and reinforcements in polymers, recycling of polymers, fibre-reinforced plastics, bioplastics, and 3D printing. The research is organized around the theme of 'Interfaces and Interphases in Polymeric Multiphase Systems'. Key research initiatives include AiProMex (data-driven inline process monitoring for 3D printing) and surface4motion (ultra-lightweight composites for sustainable mobility). TCKT also publishes research results and maintains a comprehensive publication archive.
