High Performance Polymer Nanocomposites Group

Welcome to IMDEA Materials Institute’s High Performance Polymer Nanocomposites (HPPN) Group. HPPN Research Group at IMDEA Materials Institute was created by Professor De-Yi Wang in 2012. The research group focuses on the application-oriented fundamental problems and novel technologies in fire safety engineering, fire retardant materials and polymer-based composites. Main research activities include：

• Fire safety materials engineering
• Polymer composites engineering
• Fire–safe material systems
• Multifunctional polymer coatings
• Fire-mechanical behaviour of composites
• Engineering testing and benchmarking of materials

HPPN Research Group has well-equipped laboratories with state-of-the-art facilities for R&D in fire retardant materials and polymer composite/nanocomposites, has a track record of attracting funding from the European Union, international collaboration, industries, and national government, has built up wide cooperation with renowned scientific institutions in the worldwide.
