SPLITTING METHOD AND USE OF A MATERIAL IN A SPLITTING METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a splitting method for splitting a solid feedstock into at least two solid sectional pieces, and the use of a material in such a splitting method. In order to increase the total yield of a splitting method, the use of a polymer hybrid material containing one or more fillers in a polymer matrix material is proposed. A corresponding splitting method comprises the steps of providing the solid feedstock having at least one exposed surface, applying a polymer hybrid material containing fillers in a polymer matrix onto at least one exposed surface of the solid feedstock so that a composite structure results, and applying a voltage field on the composite structure, such that the solid feedstock is cleft into at least two solid sectional pieces along a plane within the solid feedstock.
