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 ...

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,
Food packaging coatings (on paper wraps, cartons and cardboard) are essential to providing a physical barrier to protect food products in the packaging container during storage and transportation. Current packaging coatings are based on petrochemical derived waxes and polymers. However, with increasing petroleum costs and recent instability and volatility in some oil producing countries, the food ...

Development of green anticorrosion coatings for steel protection based on environmentally friendly nanoparticles and conducting polymers (STEELCOAT)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
...or example, hexavalent chromium has been used in inhibitive pigments but these pigments are being phased out due to environmental and health concerns. Thus, there is an urgent need to replace current paint systems with new effective systems that are more environmental friendly and not hazardous to human health.In the STEELCOAT project we will develop new HS solvent-borne and water-borne anticorros ...

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 ...

Energy efficient UV LED curing without inerting (UV LED)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
"The proposed project is focused on supporting more than 60 000 SMEs that produce wood products in the EU, by reducing their energy consumption. EU industrial wood product manufacturers are coming under increased competition from imports and are looking to reduce their costs. About 11% of industrial wood products in the EU are coated with UV curable coatings, which contain zero VOCs and are fast c ...
