The combination of certain polymers with certain additives, nanoadditives, nanotubes and carbon nanofibres produces materials with specific functionalities that plastics do not have in their natural state.
At GAIKER, we research functional and active polymers to provide plastic materials with new properties and functionalities for new fields of application.
We are working on the following lines:
Formulation of functional and active materials
Twin-screw extrusion. Monofilament and chippings for injection and lamination.
Filaments for FDM.
Extrusion - blowing to obtain film.
Calendering, to obtain foil.
Single head FDM printers.
Dual and triple head independent FDM printers.
Pellet extrusion and combination with FDM head.
Equipment to investigate the injection moulding process.
Equipment for decorative and functional sheet moulding. Used for tray formation.
To produce hollow plastic parts
Development of new thermoplastic-based functional materials for FDM 3D printing with electrostatic charge dissipation properties. Development based on low-hardness elastomeric matrices and high-hardness rigid matrices.

Implementation of advanced materials with electrical and magnetic sensing properties to improve safety and digitalisation in the construction sector. Monitoring structures connected to the BIM intelligent building system for preventive maintenance.
Development of new thermoplastic- and thermosetting-based functional materials geared towards different advanced manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, electrospinning processes and advanced microelectronics processes.
