Future Materials
We believe success in development of new materials and products comes through the enhancement of existing products properties. Production of advanced products requires fundamental understanding of the materials’ composition and properties. Future Materials excel at the development of new materials. And we aim to get even better!
The global demand for advanced materials based on micro- and nanoparticles is growing at a rapid rate – and the competition to reach the market is ever increasing.
We offer test facilities, competence and a professional network for developing sustainable advanced materials for your company’s future products and processes. We focus on the material itself and together we find the solutions of the future!

Norner Non-Metallic Days
Our partner Norner invites to a two day technical event focusing on non-metallic materials for extreme and ultra extreme operating environments within the energy sector. Norner aims to bring together science, field experience, and critical discussion on how polymers and composite solutions perform when conditions push materials to their limits.
Kickstart towards 2030- recycled plastics
In 2022, our partner, Norner, started an interdisciplinary collaboration project where the aim was for the 10 participating companies to increase the proportion of recycled plastic in their production. An interdisciplinary collaborative project was motivating. They found great motivation in developing an interdisciplinary collaborative project where they can help each other develop circular solutions.
Safe use of recycled plastics for cosmetics
HDPE bottles for Personal Care and Cosmetic products (Cosmetics) are an attractive segment for the use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials. The availability is poor for materials that have good enough mechanical properties and purity. The latter can cause odour and migration of substances which needs safety documentation. Can a 3-layer structure be the solution?
