During the Girls’ Day it was the fourth time that technical interested girls at the age of 13 and 14 years could get an insight over the production, handling and the testing of plastic at the TCKT.
Bianca, Elena and Magdalena used this possibility to produce granules on the compounder, that the girls used to make test specimens in the injection moulding process. Afterwards they tested these test specimens by a tensile test and an impact bending test.
Additionally the three girls could experience the production of foils and the characterisation of plastics with the help of fired samples, DSC analysis and MFR-testing.
We are looking forward to seeing the girls soon.
