A Safer Alternative Replacement for Thiourea Based Accelerators in the Production Process of Chloroprene Rubber (SafeRubber)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,
In December 2007, the European Commission imposed a total of € 247 635 000 fines on the five largest manufacturers of chloroprene rubber for participating in a cartel. As a result of this price fixing and market abuse by large enterprises, the SME involvement in this sector has diminished and requires research investment to re-build its presence. Additionally there is increasing pressure to replac ...

Whey protein-coated plastic films to replace expensive polymers and increase recyclability (WHEYLAYER)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
"In the food industry, the oxidation of fats, oils, and other food components produces off-flavours, off-colours and nutrient loss. Protection against oxygen is a vital requirement of food packaging. Common synthetic polyolefin films such as PE and PP are excellent moisture barriers, but must be coated or laminated with synthetic polymers including EVOH and PVDC copolymers to provide an oxygen bar ...
