Self-repairable Zinc-free Weldable Anti-corrosion Primer for the Steel protection (WELDAPRIME)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

The global production of steel is in the range of 1400M tons, worth nearly €1trillion. The steel demand in Europe in 2011 was estimated to be 145M tons, of which 39M tons p.a. for the construction sector and 16M tons p.a. for structural steel. Most of this steel is carbon or mild steel (as opposed to stainless steel) which corrodes at a high rate and although there are a significant number of anti ...

Environmental friendly and Durable Oil and water repellence finish on Technical Textiles (TEX-SHIELD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

In the current market, the well-known brands of technical textiles are coated with Perfluorocarbon chemistry to possess highly durable oil and water repellent (OWR) finish. In early days, water repellent finish for fabrics was provided by simple paraffin or wax coatings which washed out eventually. Alternatively, PFOS and PFOA are the chemicals belonging to the family of perflourochemicals (PFCs) ...

"MAINtenance, renewaL and Improvement of rail transport iNfrastructure to reduce Economic and environmental impacts" (MAINLINE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

"Growth in demand for rail transportation across Europe is predicted to continue. Much of this growth will have to be accommodated on existing lines that contain old infrastructure. This demand will increase both the rate of deterioration of these elderly assets and the need for shorter line closures for maintenance or renewal interventions. However, interventions on elderly infrastructure will al ...

"Design, implementation and validation of an automatic learning cure cycle optimisation process for the eco-efficient autoclave processing of composite materials" (OPTO-CLAVE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"Historically, most designers of high quality structural composite components for aerospace applications have taken for granted the need for an autoclave cure. A range of toughened resin systems with suitable properties for autoclave cure became available and were certified for use in primary structures, such as wings, fuselages and empennage components with integrated stiffeners. The use of autoc ...
