- carried out under the Smart Growth Operational Programme 2014 - 2020 in a joint SYNChem project Increasing the scientific research potential Measure 4.1 Scientific research and development Sub-measure 4.1.1. Strategic research programmes for the economy.

We invite you to learn more about the project, meet our research team and find out about the project setting and utilization of the outcomes.

About the project

The aim of the project “Investigation on technology of UV-crosslinkable hot-melt adhesives containing new UV-photoinitiators” is to work out a technology of pressure-sensitive hot-melt adhesives based on (meth)acrylics (abbreviated as UV-HMPSA). These adhesives will be able to UV-crosslinking owing to incorporation of new photoinitiators (FI-K), which will be developed during this project.

The research project is conducted at the Organic Chemistry and Technology Institute and Polymer Institute, at the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Engineering, the Westpomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin (Consortium Leader) and at Faculty of Chemical Technology and Engineering, at the Organic emistry Department, the University of Science and Technology, in Bydgoszcz (Consortium Member).
