Lambèrt C.A. van Breemen is an Assistant Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the School of Mechanical Engineering, Polymer Technology department. His work focuses on contact mechanics, constitutive modeling, and multi-scale analysis of polymers, with applications in additive manufacturing and friction/wear behavior. A key aspect of his research is understanding how polymer microstructure influences macroscopic mechanical response, particularly under multiaxial loading conditions. He has developed models for porous polymers and studied fiber-polymer interactions in composites. PhD Thesis : "Contact mechanics in glassy polymers" (TU/e, 2004) MSc Thesis : 3D implementation of the Leonov model (TU/e, 2000) Recent publications highlight his expertise in laser sintering , inter-layer adhesion , and multiaxial failure analysis , with trends toward sustainable polymer systems and SDG-aligned materials science. Scientific Awards : Best plenary lecture, Dutch Polymer Days (2009) Best teacher Bachelor, TU/e (2016) Van Breemen supervises PhD and Master’s students, including Frank P.A. van Berlo (PhD) and C.J.W.A. Hanegraaf (Master’s), and leads projects like "Anormal Dispersive Nanocomposite Polymers for Chromatic Correction of Lenses" (2023-2029). He collaborates internationally with institutions such as ETH Zurich and National Technical University of Athens, and contributes to courses in mechanical characterization and advanced manufacturing.
