Lignin Based Carbon Fibres for Composites (LIBRE)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2016, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2020,
The use of carbon fiber (CF) based composites is of growing importance in many industrial applications with the current global market estimated at $28Bn [ref 9]. However, the current high cost, limited production capability in Europe and the use of petroleum-based polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as the precursor fiber (PF) from which the CF is ultimately derived, requires the development of innovative rou ...

HIGHLY EFFICIENT CLADDING ECO-PANELS WITH IMPROVED NANO-INSULATION PROPERTIES (GELCLAD)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2019,
The GELCLAD project aims at creating a novel cost-effective, durable, industrialised and easy to install composite insulation cladding system, based on a single multi-meso-structured panel with excellent insulation properties, made from functional bio-polymer composite (ecoWPC) as skin coupling with unique advanced foamable extrudable aerogel (FEA) as insulation core/layer. The GELCLAD is produced ...

Biobased self-functionalised self-reinforced composite materials based on high performance nanofibrillar PLA fibres (BIO4SELF)
Date du début: 1 mars 2016, Date de fin: 30 juin 2019,
BIO4SELF aims at fully biobased self-reinforced polymer composites (SRPC). To produce the SRPCs two polylactic acid (PLA) grades are required: a low melting temperature (Tm) one to form the matrix and an ultra high stiffness and high Tm one to form the reinforcing fibres. To reach unprecedented stiffness in the reinforcing PLA fibres, we will combine PLA with bio-LCP (liquid crystalline polymer) f ...

New cost-effective and sustainable polyethylene based carbon fibres for volume market applications (NEWSPEC)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
NEWSPEC aims at the production of Carbon Fibres (CFs) through very promising low-cost sustainable polyethylene (PE) precursors. PE can be derived from three independent sources: bio-ethanol, synthetic oil and recycled plastics. A main attribute of this project is the use of an available pilot scale facility (HPFC) that allows design and optimization of continuous CF processing and, at a later date ...

FOREST BASED COMPOSITES FOR FAÇADES AND INTERIOR PARTITIONS TO IMPROVE INDOOR AIR QUALITY IN NEW BUILDS AND RESTORATION (OSIRYS)
Date du début: 1 juin 2013, Date de fin: 31 mai 2017,
Indoor Air Quality and emissions from building materials have been over the last decades a major challenge for scientists, industry and consumers. Traditional construction materials contribute to contaminants such as VOCs, formaldehyde, particulates and fibres. However, new eco-innovative building materials are able to provide a healthier indoor environment both by substituting source of contamina ...

Enhanced Lightweight Design (ENLIGHT)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,
Lightweight materials such as carbon-fibre reinforced plastics have been used up to now mostly in high-performance cars with relatively high cost & low production volumes. Instead the electric cars of the future require lightweight solutions that not only enable specific design requirements to be respected but are also cost effective and sustainable throughout their lifecycle.ENLIGHT aims to accel ...

Transforming urban and agricultural residues into high performance biomaterials for green construction (INNOBITE)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,
INNOBITE project will transform urban and agricultural residues into high performing resource efficient products for the construction sector. The project finds support in two innovative ideas: (1) adding value to the inorganic fraction of wheat straw and (2) obtaining cellulose nanofibres out of highly recycled paper. Once isolated via environmentally friendly processes, these two renewable compou ...

Development of new agrotextiles from renewable resources and with a tailored biodegradability (BIOAGROTEX)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2012,
Increasing oil-prices, a growing threat of oil-shortages, Kyoto agreements on green house gases, environmental effects and climate changes, are all elements that contribute to the concern for the future of our oil based economy. Not only the search for biofuels but also for bio-based polymers and a more extensive use of the natural resources by upgrading the value of natural fibres and side produ ...

Complex structural and multifunctional Parts from enhanced Wood-based Composites - eWPC (BioStruct)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
Despite a lot of research activities carried out in the field of Wood Plastic Compounds there is still a certain lack of interest in the commercial market for this new class of materials. BioStruct will help to overcome these barriers in the market success by the development of the next material generation, so-called enhanced Wood Plastic Composites eWPC, avoiding the most important drawbacks in c ...
