Highppe: Advanced technologies for the development of new expanded polymer materials for high performance Highppe applications. It aims to improve both the raw materials and the process of manufacturing products based on expanded polypropylene (EPP) and thus solve the problems associated with the manufacture of such components. This will involve new manufacturing routes based on_x000D_ nanotechnology, simulation tools, advanced process control and sensory systems, etc. It should be noted that the EPP has a very promising development potential not only in the automotive sector but also in a plurality of sectors.
