The International Conference on Composite Materials (ICCM) is the leading international research conference on fibre-reinforced plastics and has been held every two years since 1975. The international conference brings together representatives from academia and industry to present the results of research and development projects. In addition to the optimisation of material and component properties, a particular focus is on the sustainability and…

A new chair enriches the ILH consortium. In August 2022, Prof. Dr. Iryna Mozgova succeeded Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rainer Koch as head of Data Management in Mechanical Engineering (DMB), which focuses on additive manufacturing and data analysis / public safety. The research areas include a number of important cross-cutting issues such as design, product development and quality management. Data management is a central and connecting topic that plays an…

The heart of the technical centre in the ILH research building at the Paderborn University is being installed! The 11 m high hydraulic double-column forming press, manufactured by Schuler Pressen GmbH, was delivered on 16 May and is now being installed in the centre of the experimental areas for materials technology, plastics technology and FRP processing. With a nominal force of 10,000 kN, it is the largest press available to the ILH. Funded by…

Am 21.02.2023 fand am Institut für Leichtbau mit Hybridsystemen (ILH) die erste Sitzung der Ende 2022 eingerichteten neuen Beiräte vom ILH und Paderborner Institut für Additive Fertigung (PIAF) statt.

In February, the research project "carboHEAT" funded by the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU) was successfully completed over the past 18 months in cooperation with the project partners of Hotset GmbH. In the future, heatable hybrid structures based on recycled carbon fibre fleeces (rCF) can be produced for a variety of further applications in addition to the project's focus on use as a heated floor panel in camping vehicles.…

6.7 million euros of funding – Paderborn University is leading a Europe-wide research project

Innerhalb von nur 10 Tagen ist es uns gemeinsam gelungen über 22.000 Euro für die Beschaffung eines Notstromaggregats zu sammeln. Es wurde bereits vor einigen Tagen bestellt und kann voraussichtlich die Reise noch Ende 2022 in die Ukraine antreten.

Bei dieser Gelegenheit gaben Prof. Dr.-Ing. Mirko Schaper und Prof. Dr. Thomas Tröster (ILH) Einblicke in moderne Fahrzeugtechnik und Verkehrskonzepte, Energieversorgung und Digitalisierung anhand der Initiative „Neue Mobilität Paderborn“.

Die Initiative „Neue Mobilität Paderborn“ (NeMo Paderborn) veranstalte anlässlich des Jubiläumsjahres der Universität Paderborn ein Wissenschaftscafé unter dem Titel „Mobilität im Dialog – Vernetzung von Land und Stadt“.

Fahrzeuge umweltfreundlicher und effizienter herstellen – das ist das Ziel eines neuen Forschungsprojekts unter der Leitung des Lehrstuhls für „Leichtbau im Automobil“ (LiA) an der Universität Paderborn.
