Silicon Nitride Coatings for Improved Implant Function (LifeLongJoints)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2018,
Articulating joint replacements represent a medical market exceeding €14 billion p.a. that is expected to rise as demographics reflect an ageing population. However, faster growth has been seen in the revision market, where prosthetic joints are replaced, than in primary interventions. The major cause of these revisions is that all joint replacements are prone to wear leading to loss of implant fu ...

A pan-European infrastructure for quality in nanomaterials safety testing (QUALITYNANO)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2015,
Nanoscale objects interact with living organisms in a fundamentally new manner, ensuring that a fruitful marriage of nanotechnology and biology will long outlast short term imperatives. Therefore, investment in an infrastructure to drive scientific knowledge of the highest quality will have both immediate benefits of supporting the safety assessment of legacy nanomaterials, as well as pointing tow ...

Engineered Nanoparticle Impact on Aquatic Environments: Structure, Activity and Toxicology (ENNSATOX)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2012,
The use of engineered nanoparticles in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, sensors and many other commercial applications has been growing exponentially over the past decade. EU and Member State’s research into the environmental impact of these materials, particularly in aquatic systems, is at an early stage. ENNSATOX addresses this deficit through a, comprehensive investigation relating the structure and ...
