Extended service-life and improved properties of wood products through the use of functional nanoparticles in clear coating and adhesive systems (WOODLIFE)
Date du début: 1 juin 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2013,
The long term objective of the WOODLIFE project is to provide coated and glued wood products with substantially improved durability for a more sustainable society. The project aims to develop new water-based clear coating systems for wood with improved UV-absorbing properties, and to develop new water-based thermoplastic wood adhesives with improved mechanical properties. The new coating and adhes ...

The Development of a Single-Screw Extrusion Process for Production of Low Density Biodegradable PLA Foam for Thermoformed Food Packaging Applications (PLA-FOAM)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2011,
"450 k t p.a. of foamed polymer packaging (mainly expanded polystyrene, EPS) is consumed in the EU with 34% (150 k t p.a.) used for food packaging. Foam packaging is an essential part of the food processing and transport process to prevent damage and spoilage. However, they are made from synthetic polymers and have low density (50 kg/m3) which makes them difficult to recycle economically. Thus, th ...

"Development of novel composite material for safety helmets, boat hulls and lifeboat containers that has self-repairing and visual inspection features" (LAPI)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2008, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2010,
Our idea is to develop the novel composite material that contains microencapsulated polymer spheres containing coloured resins. These spheres will provide direct visual inspection possibilities as after impact the surface of the composite will change the colour depending on the severity of the impact. This composite material possesses also self-repairing feature for due to impact these shells cont ...
