High Performance, Economical and Sustainable Biocomposite Building Materials (BioBuild)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,
The aim of BioBuild is to use biocomposites to reduce the embodied energy in building facade, supporting structure and internal partition systems by at least 50% over current materials with no increase in cost. This will lead to a step change in the use of sustainable, low carbon construction materials, by replacing aluminium, steel, FRP, brick and concrete in buildings.Facades are widely used in ...

Manufacturing of high temperature composite parts for air cooling unit (e.g. cyanate ester / carbon fibres) by filament winding (HiTemComFil)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2015,
This proposal addresses the fibre winding manufacturing of a sleeve structure (rotor part) for an aircraft cooling unit, which is subjected to a highly variable environment, e. g. a large temperature range, and has excellent mechanical properties to withstand mechanical loading from high speed rotations. The replacement of existing metallic structures with continuous fibre reinforced polymer parts ...

Composite fuselage section Wafer Design Approach for Safety Increasing in Worst Case Situations and Joints Minimizing (WASIS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
"Aeronautics is a key asset for the future of Europe, but nowadays the industry has to face the challenge of “More Affordable, Safer, Cleaner and Quieter” while at the same time accounting for a demand that will triple over the next 20 years. WASIS project aims to rise to this challenge with the development of a composite fuselage structure based on the lattice stiffening concept, optimizing geome ...

Innovative Material Synergies & Composite Processing Strategies (IMS&CPS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
Mutation of transport industry to carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRC) is now ineluctable in order to reduce our mobility environmental imprint. This sector is at a turn of its conversion from metal to composite, which should impose a radical rethinking of the whole supply chain. Combined developments of materials and matched processes is the main strategy of IMS&CPS project, only such a concert ...

Integrated cost-effective construction process for transport infrastructures, based on a flexible industrialisation of FRP components (Trans-IND)
Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,
Polymer based manufactured components for construction applications have been designed, developed and demonstrated in European projects such as HP FUTURE-Bridge, SAFEFLOOR and MEGAWIND. The results are very promising regarding customer requirements, quality, technical and economical feasibility and the favourable impact of using this kind of composite-based components in terms of sustainability, s ...

Development of a clean and energy self-sustained building in the vision of integrating H2 economy with renewable energy sources (H2SUSBUILD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
More than 40% of the total energy consumed in the EU is used to cover the needs for heating, cooling and electricity of buildings. As the major part of this energy is produced from combustion of oil and natural gas, both the EU and the EU Building Sector are highly depended on imported fossil fuels. Moreover, the Sector is also a major contributor to Green-House Gas (GHG) emissions. To address iss ...

Aligned Natural Fibres and Textiles for Use in Structural Composite Applications (NATEX)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,
Biocomposites manufactured from natural materials such as fibres and bioderived polymers offer a sustainable alternative to traditional ones, but at present they are not available for use in structural applications. NATEX will develop aligned textiles from natural fibres suitable for use as high strength reinforcing fabrics to produce structural composite parts using bio and oil based thermoplasti ...
