Improved Durability and Cost-effective Components for New Generation Solid Polymer Electrolyte Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DURAMET)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
"The main objective of the DURAMET project is to develop cost-effective components for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) with enhanced activity and stability in order to reduce stack costs and improve performance and durability. The project concerns with the development of DMFCs for application in auxiliary power units (APU) as well as for portable systems. The target temperature for DMFCs in APU ...

Establishing the basic science and technology for Iron-based superconducting electronics applications (IRON-SEA)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
Recent investigations on iron-based superconductors have revealed a lot of similarities to MgB2 and the cuprates, for instance, a multiband nature, high upper critical fields and a short coherence length. Now immediate interest of a new class of materials would be exploring potential electronics applications such as Josephson devices and SQUIDs. In this project, we will address the feasibility of ...

Halogen Free Flame Retardant ABS nanocomposites for electric and electronic devices (NANOFRABS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
"The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and waste electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) directives discouraged the use of halogenated flame retardants in electric and electronic devices. For this reason, effective non halogenated alternatives have to be developed. The project aims at developing new halogen free flame retardant (HFFR) for ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) compounds, ...

Smart fire-retardant coatings based on intumescent nanocomposites (HEFEST)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2011,
"In Europe, annual fire losses reach 80 billion €, meaning more than 1% of EU GDP, 4000 people die and another 80000 suffer terrible burns. The use of fire retarding intumescent coatings play an important role in Fire Safety being this subsector mainly comprised by SMEs. Nowadays, a variety of fire intumescent coatings is available presenting diverse drawbacks such as: poor behaviour when ageing, ...
