HOLIstic optimisation of SHIP design and operation for life cycle (HOLISHIP)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

Most maritime products are typically associated with large investments and are seldom built in large series. Where other modes of transport benefit from the economy of series production, this is not the case for maritime products which are typically designed to refined customer requirements increasingly determined by the need for high efficiency, flexibility and low environmental impact at a compe ...

Self-assembly of nano crystalline cellulose for lightweight cellular structures (NCC-FOAM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"Cellulose, the primary structural component of plants, is the most ubiquitous and abundant organic compound on the planet. When cellulose fibrils are processed under carefully controlled conditions, it is possible to release highly crystalline nano-particles known as “nano crystalline cellulose (NCC)”. Recently, NCC-FOAM partners have developed a unique technique for self-assembling NCC into high ...

Developing Novel Fire-Resistant High Performance Composites (FIRE-RESIST)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

The greater use of polymer matrix composite materials would be highly desirable. Their low weight, along with their inherent resistance to corrosion and fatigue, enables more fuel efficient and sustainable transport structures. However, for many applications, the biggest factor currently preventing the more widespread use of light high-performance polymer matrix composites is their poor fire perfo ...
