Printed Logic for Applications of Screen Matrix Activation Systems (PLASMAS)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2017,
The EU has lost a significant share of the electronics manufacture sector to the Far East, resulting in a negative trade balance of >€100bn/year within this sector. This is (in part) due to the current manufacturing technologies that are based on subtractive processing that are expensive, wasteful and energy intensive, making manufacture in the EU economically and environmentally unfeasible.

Improved Service Life Prediction and Test Capability for Wood Coatings (SERVOWOOD)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
"The paints, coatings and varnishes manufacturing sector in Europe is worth an estimated €20billion, supporting approximately 4130 SMEs and is responsible for employing 59,600 people within these SMEs. In particular, the wood coatings sector is facing a number of threats. The sector is coming under increasing pressure from low cost imports from Asia that have low solids content and subsequently po ...

One component waterborne barrier coatings (BARRIER PLUS)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
"Steel is the most used metal in construction and the costs of protecting Europe’s structural steel installations and assets from corrosion is thought to be 3% of GDP (or about €375BN). However, there are two factors that will increasingly affect future protective coatings developments: VOC emissions and health/safety issues. Firstly there is a strong mandate to apply VOC emissions legislation to ...

Innovative, environmentally friendly nanophosphor down converter materials for enhanced solar cell efficiency that will reduce energy production costs and increase cell lifetime (NanoPhoSolar)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
The NanoPhoSolar project aims to overcome the limitations relating to the efficiency and performance of a range of photovoltaic (PV) systems by developing a transparent NanoPhosphor down converting material capable of absorbing Ultra Violet (UV) and short wavelength visible light and re-emitting in the more useful longer wavelength visible spectrum(range 525-850nm).This will enable the efficiency ...

Advanced Systems for Wood Fire Protection (ReactaFire)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2015,
Wood is an important construction material (over 70% of people in the developed world live in timber frame housing) as it performs well as an engineering material and compared to other commonly used construction materials it is more sustainable. However, timber is combustible, unlike concrete or steel, and this has significant implications for how it is used within the construction industry as the ...

Innovative Non-Destructive Corrosion Under Paint Integrated Detection System (CUPID)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
Corrosion under paint (CUP) is a ubiquitous and persistent problem which affects almost every part of the entire infrastructure of modern civilization. Apart from the great economic damage which it causes annually, it also compromises the safety, environmental and aesthetic characteristics of the affected structures, machinery and other artifacts.Metals in their natural state exist as the various ...

Developing powder coatings for contact curing of structural adhesives for vehicle bonding applications (POWDERBOND)
Date du début: 1 mai 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2015,
Adhesive bonding technologies are a substitute for joining processes such as welding which offer vehicle designers the potential to select from a wider range of lightweight materials for vehicle design and construction. The ability to use lightweight materials allows vehicles to maximise fuel efficiency.Current adhesive bonding methods require an energy intensive oven cure process. Furthermore, ov ...

Super-Stabilised Opaque Foam Coatings for Architectural Applications (DRYFOAM)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
"A white coating’s opacity derives from some light absorption but predominantly light scattering, which is a function of differences in refractive index between paint components. In conventional white decorative coatings, for example, the main contribution to scattering is the difference in refractive index between titanium dioxide pigment (n=2.7) and the continuous medium, the resin system (n≈1.5 ...

Sustainable Coating for Food Packaging based on Starch and Seaweed Extracts (PlantPack)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2014,
...roject, PlantPack, will aim to develop a sustainable, eco-friendly food packaging coating product made from seaweed extracts and starch, which will be applied to paper and cardboard in the form of a spray. This new coating will replace the current petroleum derived coating products, and thus improve the sustainability and biodegradability characteristics of both coatings and the final food packag ...
