4x4, demonstrating a flexible value chain to utilize biomass functionalities in the processing industry (Bio4Products)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2020,
Biomass is a valuable, sustainable feedstock for the production of high added value chemicals and materials, and will play an important role in the transition of the European Process Industry to a Sustainable Process Industry. However, for the optimal utilization of these bio-resources the fractionation of the biomass on basis of functionalities is required. The innovative approach of BIO4PRODUCTS ...

High Performance, Economical and Sustainable Biocomposite Building Materials (BioBuild)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,
The aim of BioBuild is to use biocomposites to reduce the embodied energy in building facade, supporting structure and internal partition systems by at least 50% over current materials with no increase in cost. This will lead to a step change in the use of sustainable, low carbon construction materials, by replacing aluminium, steel, FRP, brick and concrete in buildings.Facades are widely used in ...

Developing Novel Fire-Resistant High Performance Composites (FIRE-RESIST)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2015,
The greater use of polymer matrix composite materials would be highly desirable. Their low weight, along with their inherent resistance to corrosion and fatigue, enables more fuel efficient and sustainable transport structures. However, for many applications, the biggest factor currently preventing the more widespread use of light high-performance polymer matrix composites is their poor fire perfo ...

Innovative advanced Wood-based Composite Materials and Components (WOODY)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
Currently the world of polymeric composite materials is almost exclusively based on fossil derived components. This fact represents a strong issue, as the non-renewable global oil resources are being exploited year after year, also as a consequence of the ever growing demand for plastics engineering materials. WOODY Project goal is to develop new composite panels and laminates from wood derived re ...

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 ...

Aligned Natural Fibres and Textiles for Use in Structural Composite Applications (NATEX)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2008, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2012,
Biocomposites manufactured from natural materials such as fibres and bioderived polymers offer a sustainable alternative to traditional ones, but at present they are not available for use in structural applications. NATEX will develop aligned textiles from natural fibres suitable for use as high strength reinforcing fabrics to produce structural composite parts using bio and oil based thermoplasti ...
