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 ...

An innovative environmentally friendly gelcoating technology for composites for marine and wind-Turbine applications to reduce VOC emissions, processing time and cost (INGECT)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,

Gel coats are applied to fibre-reinforced composite materials for aesthetic or protection purposes. Styrene is an essential part of these gelcoats, with ~25% of this released during possessing. These styrene emissions cause irritation and neurological effects as well as possibly being carcinogen. One of the biggest negative effects of styrene is the perceived odour both by the workforce and neighb ...

The Development of a Single-Screw Extrusion Process for Production of Low Density Biodegradable PLA Foam for Thermoformed Food Packaging Applications (PLA-FOAM)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2011,

"450 k t p.a. of foamed polymer packaging (mainly expanded polystyrene, EPS) is consumed in the EU with 34% (150 k t p.a.) used for food packaging. Foam packaging is an essential part of the food processing and transport process to prevent damage and spoilage. However, they are made from synthetic polymers and have low density (50 kg/m3) which makes them difficult to recycle economically. Thus, th ...

Structure and processing for high-quality of chocolate pralines (ProPraline)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2011,

Chocolate is a complex material, which can be damaged by means of bloom growth or cracking. This is a significant issue for filled products such as pralines or wafers. For SMEs and larger companies these problems can prevent the manufacture of products of sufficient quality. It is the aim of this project to study the phenomena of chocolate bloom and crack propogation in chocolate for filled swe ...

"Development of novel composite material for safety helmets, boat hulls and lifeboat containers that has self-repairing and visual inspection features" (LAPI)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2008, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2010,

Our idea is to develop the novel composite material that contains microencapsulated polymer spheres containing coloured resins. These spheres will provide direct visual inspection possibilities as after impact the surface of the composite will change the colour depending on the severity of the impact. This composite material possesses also self-repairing feature for due to impact these shells cont ...
