Development of PCM-based innovative insulating solutions for the Light-weight building sector (STOREPET)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
New building strategies addressing climate change effects and reduction of heating/cooling energy are two fundamental issues at EU level. Figures as the 35,000 excess deaths attributed to the last heat wave in the continent in 2003, or 10% of the world’s energy being used just for heating of buildings support European citizen’s concerns and new EU legislation. New national and communitarian string ...

An innovative environmentally friendly gelcoating technology for composites for marine and wind-Turbine applications to reduce VOC emissions, processing time and cost (INGECT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
Gel coats are applied to fibre-reinforced composite materials for aesthetic or protection purposes. Styrene is an essential part of these gelcoats, with ~25% of this released during possessing. These styrene emissions cause irritation and neurological effects as well as possibly being carcinogen. One of the biggest negative effects of styrene is the perceived odour both by the workforce and neighb ...

Lightweight, long endurance body cooling for fire fighters (StayCool)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
There are about 500 000 professional fire fighters in the European Union (EU). When called to fight fires they can be exposed to high levels of heat stress, which results in decreased physical performance and even heat exhaustion. If a fire fighter succumbs to heat exhaustion he requires rescuing and this then exposes other fire fighters and the public to increased risk. In order to reduce the ris ...

An innovative phosphorus rich intumescent oligomer enabling commercially competitive high performance halogen free fire protection of polypropylene (PP-MIPS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
Offering good performance at low cost, polypropylene (PP) is a popular commodity plastic within many market sectors. However, due to its high flammability and low charring nature, PP is difficult to fire protected. Whist brominated flame retardants (FRs) are able to achieve excellent FR performance at moderate cost and with little impact on polymer properties, they release toxic and corrosive smok ...

Flame Retardant ON Textile (FRONT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,
The aim of the research is to develop and produce flame retardant textile, with economical and environmental advantages. Once project will be completed, it will be possible to increase the flame retardant textile market quota to the detriment of untreated textiles. This could support the introduction of new standards and rules to grant a higher security level against fires.
