Composite materials are becoming increasingly popular
This fibre reinforced plastic is the material of the future. That is why KU Leuven, UGent and Sirris have joined forces to stimulate and support local companies with the integration of these materials in their products. The result is the Sirris Leuven-Gent Composites Application Lab (SLC-Lab), an integrated knowledge centre that can provide your company with significant added value.
Link between science and industry
The Sirris Leuven-Gent Composites Application Lab ensures that materials and process knowhow is translated into tangible end products. If you are interested in using composite materials for a new product or application, SLC is your partner for technological advice and practical realisations.
Room for experiments
SLC provides the environment where companies and composite experts together develop innovative applications with composite materials. In this way, your company has easy access to a dedicated research infrastructure at limited cost.
Ongoing and recently completed research projects
