FrontpageTPRC, the ThermoPlastic composite Research Centre in the Netherlands, is an open innovation, research- and development centre that aims for thermoplastic composites for a broad range of end use markets.
Thermoplastic composites are important materials for many contemporary high end applications in transport, industry and healthcare. TPRC will primarily execute joint development projects on new thermoplastic composite technologies and applications. In these joint projects TPRC will take into account materials, processing and design aspects. Next to the joint generic technology projects, TPRC will also execute specific developments for its members or third parties, but these results will not be part of the joint semi-public domain.
The independent foundation TPRC is accessible for all the parties from different value chains in the thermoplastic composite sector, like material suppliers, engineering and design bureaus, production organisations, machine suppliers, education and research institutes. TPRC is located at the University of Twente in Enschede, the Netherlands.
