Novel approaches for prevention and degeneration of pathogenic bacteria biofilms formed on medical devices e.g. catheters (NOVO)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
"Biofilms are bacterial communities encased in a self-produced hydrated polymeric matrix. An important characteristic of microbial biofilms is their innate resistance to the immune system and susceptibility to antibiotics. This resistance has made microbial biofilms a common cause of medical infections, and difficult-to-treat infections caused by colonized foreign bodies.The NOVO project aims at d ...

Improved Novel Eco-Friendly Bleaching System for Cotton Using Enzyme and Ultrasound Processes (COTTONBLEACH)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
"Cotton textiles --the main natural-fibre textile used worldwide-- undergo a toxic and costly bleaching process that weighs heavily on the quality, cost and environmental impact of textile manufacture. CottonBleach proposes the development of an improved cotton bleaching technology, more respectful with the textiles and the environment, to improve the competitive edge of European textile SMEs.
