Processing and control of novel nanomaterials in packaging, automotive and solar panel processing lines (OptiNanoPro)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2015, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,
Nanocomposites are promising for many sectors, as they can make polymers stronger, less water and gas permeable, tune surface properties, add functionalities such as antimicrobial effects. In spite of intensive research activities, significant efforts are still needed to deploy the full potential of nanotechnology in the industry. The main challenge is still obtaining a proper nanostructuring of t ...

Valorisation of legumes co-products and by-products for package application and energy production from biomass (LEGUVAL)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016,
LEGUVAL targets the use of co-products and by-products of processed legumes production for valorisation by extraction of the protein fraction and use of the leftover biomass as additives in composites production and as a source of biogas by anaerobic digestion. Multiple benefits will be gained by these approaches for plastics producers since proteins are biodegradable raw materials suitable for me ...

Development of sustainable protein-based paper and paperboard coating systems to increase the recyclability of food and beverage packaging materials (BIO-BOARD)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,
Worldwide about 7 million tonnes of coated paper, paperboard and cardboard (cartons) are currently manufactured annually mainly for food and beverage packaging. The standard coating material currently used is petrochemical-based polyethylene (PE). Typical laminate packaging contains about 20% of this material. Increased political, legislative and consumer pressure to reduce the dependency on fossi ...

WHEYLAYER2: barrier biopolymers for sustainable packaging (WHEYLAYER 2)
Date du début: 1 août 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2014,
"The WHEYLAYER 2 project is based on the WHEYLAYER project that has been recognized by the EC as a star project with high dissemination potential and has received a lot of interest from the packaging industry and its end users. The WHEYLAYER project developed a biopolymer-coating based on pure whey protein isolates for plastic films able to replace currently used expensive synthetic oxygen barrier ...

Whey protein-coated plastic films to replace expensive polymers and increase recyclability (WHEYLAYER)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2011,
"In the food industry, the oxidation of fats, oils, and other food components produces off-flavours, off-colours and nutrient loss. Protection against oxygen is a vital requirement of food packaging. Common synthetic polyolefin films such as PE and PP are excellent moisture barriers, but must be coated or laminated with synthetic polymers including EVOH and PVDC copolymers to provide an oxygen bar ...
