Innovative CO2 capture (iCap)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

In post-combustion CO2 capture, a main bottleneck causing significant reduction in power plant efficiency and preventing cost effectiveness is the low flue gas CO2 partial pressure, limiting membrane flux, solvent selection and capacity. In pre-combustion CO2 capture, key bottlenecks are number of processing steps, possible low hydrogen pressure, and high hydrogen fraction in the fuel Global deplo ...

Nanostructured Toughened Hybrid Nanocomposites for High Performance Applications (NANOTOUGH)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

Motivation: Nanocomposites are emerging new materials that promise improved properties. Their applicability, however, is presently limited by the cost of manufacture and product reproducibility. Literature shows that on the bench scale, dramatic improvement in polyolefin mechanical properties can be obtained by intercalation and exfoliation of nanoparticles in the matrix. However, when materials p ...
