A Novel Microwave-Enhanced Superheated Steam Process for High Performance Drying of Hygroscopic Polymers (HIPERDRY)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
The principal objective of the HiPerDry project is to create a significant advance over the state of the art in hygroscopic polymer drying technology. A three year development programme which will culminate in the testing and demonstration of a prototype hygroscopic polymer drying system is proposed. The resulting combined microwave and super-heated steam drying (MW-SHSD) system will boast the fol ...

Valorisation of legumes co-products and by-products for package application and energy production from biomass (LEGUVAL)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016,
LEGUVAL targets the use of co-products and by-products of processed legumes production for valorisation by extraction of the protein fraction and use of the leftover biomass as additives in composites production and as a source of biogas by anaerobic digestion. Multiple benefits will be gained by these approaches for plastics producers since proteins are biodegradable raw materials suitable for me ...

Continuous, highly precise, metal-free polymerisation of PLA using alternative energies for reactive extrusion (InnoREX)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
The demand for biobased polymers is growing fast. According to the current state of the art, metal-containing catalysts are needed to improve the polymerisation rate of lactones, posing a hazard to health and the environment. InnoREX will develop a novel reactor concept using alternative energies for the continuous, highly precise, metal-free polymerisation of PLA.In InnoREX, metal-containing cata ...

A Safer Alternative Replacement for Thiourea Based Accelerators in the Production Process of Chloroprene Rubber (SafeRubber)
Date du début: 1 juin 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2013,
In December 2007, the European Commission imposed a total of € 247 635 000 fines on the five largest manufacturers of chloroprene rubber for participating in a cartel. As a result of this price fixing and market abuse by large enterprises, the SME involvement in this sector has diminished and requires research investment to re-build its presence. Additionally there is increasing pressure to replac ...

New manufacturing infrastructure for the production of high quality Natural Fibres (UltraFibre)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
Natural fibres offer a route to the production of sustainable composites, replacing inorganic and petrochemical based fibres with high-embodied energy. One of the main obstacles to the exploitation of natural fibres is the limited consistency of supply, with batch-to-batch variations in quality. Retting – a process whereby plant stems are left to weather in the fields – has been identified as bein ...
