About Composite Materials Group (CMG):

Composite Materials Group (CMG) is a large research group in the Department of Materials Engineering (MTM) of KU Leuven, where research on polymer matrix composites was started by Prof. Ignaas Verpoest in 1982. Now, CMG is one of the worldwide recognized centers for composite materials research, ranging from very fundamental to very applied and/or industry oriented studies. There are currently five main research themes in our group: Micro- and mesostructural design of composites, Process and application development, Bio-based and sustainable composites, ​Composites and principles inspired by nature, Physical chemistry of interfaces.
