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 ...

SELF-HEALING POLYMERS FOR CONCEPTS ON SELF-REPAIRED AERONAUTICAL COMPOSITES (HIPOCRATES)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

A composite aero-structure with self-repair capabilities will offer durability, extend its service life and prolong maintenance protocols leading to lower aircraft operational costs. Despite the extensive research activities in the area of self-healing resins applied to composite materials, the research for aeronautical applications is currently very limited. To this end, the main objective of HIP ...

Demonstration of soil remediation technique for in situ cleaning of soils contaminated with heavy hydrocarbon mixtures (SORBENT-DEMO)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

There is an increasing understanding that the natural resources should be kept unspoiled, which makes polluted soil and groundwater unacceptable. Therefore, soil contamination is an increasing worldwide problem, which poses severe threats to ecosystem and human health. Through the EU, thousands of sites have been contaminated by previous industrial use, former military sites and other sources of p ...

Fully artificial photo-electrochemical device for low temperature hydrogen production (ArtipHyction)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Leaves can split water into O2 and H2 at ambient conditions exploiting sun light. James Barber, one of the key players of ArtipHyction, elucidated Photosystem II (PSII), the enzyme that governs this process. In photosynthesis, H2 is used to reduce CO2 and give rise to the various organic compounds needed by the organisms or even oily compounds which can be used as fuels. However, a specific enzyme ...
