The TCKT had a very nice visit from five interested girls while the Girls’ Day 2016. Isabella, Noemi, Lena, Anna-Sophie and Katharina were producing purple-coloured compounds to produce injection moulded test specimen and blown films from that. These materials were tested further by the girls via mechanical and thermal testing. What they liked most was tensile testing and the high elongation of the films. Due to that, they wanted to see more test methods. We hope to see them soon again, maybe in one of the lab practices of the technical colleges or later while studying plastics engineering.
