Fire and Ageing Resistant Biocomposite for Transportation industrY (LIFE FARBioTY)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2019,
Background
The transportation sector is the largest industrial source of CO2 emissions in Europe (26% in 2011). One of the reasons for this high figure is the widespread use of glass fibre composite materials, whose production uses large amounts of non-renewable sand, water and energy; compounded by the poor recyclability of carbon and glass fibre reinfor ...

TERMINÉ
An innovative environmentally friendly gelcoating technology for composites for marine and wind-Turbine applications to reduce VOC emissions, processing time and cost (INGECT)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,
Gel coats are applied to fibre-reinforced composite materials for aesthetic or protection purposes. Styrene is an essential part of these gelcoats, with ~25% of this released during possessing. These styrene emissions cause irritation and neurological effects as well as possibly being carcinogen. One of the biggest negative effects of styrene is the perceived odour both by the workforce and neighb ...
