In the INFINITY project, the influence of different climatic conditions on photovoltaic (PV) systems was investigated for the first time. 14 partners from science and industry achieved pioneering results for a new generation of photovoltaic systems. The Polymer Competence Center Leoben was one of the five scientific partners of this successful project.
Andreas Frank's (PCCL) team won a "Best Paper Award" at this year's ANTEC in Orlando (Florida) for the contribution "Fracture Mechanical Characterization of Non-Virgin Pipe Materials".
As part of the "second Polymer Night at the FTPO" (Fakulteta za tehnologijo polimerov/Slovenj Gradec) Dr. Andreas Hausberger (Teamleader "Polymertribologie") was invited to a lecture titled "Friction and wear of technical plastics - Opportunities and challenges".
At this event, the results of the project on "Integrated measuring system for the optical surface inspection of high-quality plastic parts" funded by the FTI initiative "Produktion der Zukunft" will be presented to a wide audience. As part of the stakeholder dialogue on production, the results of the projects funded through the FTI initiative "Produktion der Zukunft" will be presented to a wide audience, especially from the fields of "Efficient, resource-efficient and robust production processes or flexible, networked, automated and versatile production".
The PCCL was represented at the "16th Innovation day composite repair" from 18. - 19. October 2017 at the air base in Faßberg, Germany. The event on this highly promising topic was booked up to the last seat.
The team of Gernot Oreski won a Best Poster Award in the "PV Module Performance and Reliability" category at this year's 33rd European Photovoltaic Conference in Amsterdam.
Anton Paar and PCCL announce an R & D co-operation in the field of polymertribology, and Anton Paar provides the PCCL with a high-end rheometer with a tribological measuring cell.

Leoben composite experts from the PCCL and Kunststofftechnik Leoben (Chair of Processing of Composites) were represented at the 21st International Conference on Composite Materials from 20 - 26 September 2017 in Xi'an, China, with 3 lectures. The conference itself was the largest international conference on this highly promising topic with a total of around 300 sessions.
The 26th International Materials Research Congress (IMRC 2017) took place from 20th until 25th August, 2017 in Cancun, Mexico.
The Symposium "Advanced Photochemistry: From Fundamental Science to Material Technology" was organized by Sandra Schlögl (PPCL), Wolfgang Kern (PCCL/MUL) and Thomas Grießer (MUL). Co-Organizers of this Symposium were Marco Sangermano (Politecnico di Torino) and Xavier Allonas (Université de Haute Alsace).
