Highly efficient production of ultra-lightweight clay-aerogel materials and their integrated composites for building insulation (ICECLAY)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
40% of energy consumption and 36% CO2 emissions in Europe are directly related to the buildings due mainly to inefficient insulation materials and systems. Currently required insulation performance may only be achieved either by installing extremely thick ordinary insulation materials and sacrificing living spaces or by using unaffordable the state-of-the-art insulation materials (e.g. silica aero ...

SmartNets – The Transformation from Collaborative Knowledge Exploration Networks into Cross Sectoral and Service Oriented Integrated Value Systems (SmartNets)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
High value-adding processes for knowledge-intensive products and services are facing growing complexity and ask therefore for close collaboration of industrial partners. Especially for companies which are acting across sectoral borders functional as well as technical interoperability has become tremendously important. Only by trustful collaboration between partners, required knowledge and competen ...

Novel release system and Bio-based Utilities for insect repellent textiles and Garments (NO BUG)
Start date: Oct 15, 2009, End date: Oct 14, 2013,
In several applications of professional textiles and clothes mosquito repellency is an important issue. Two major problems arise: repellents currently in use are harmful, resistance to conventional repellents increases, and the lifetime of release systems is too short. Solving these two problems are the main goals of the NO BUG project. Novel biorepellents will be considered and evaluated as well ...

INTUMESCENT MATERIALS WITH IMPROVED FIRE RETARDANT AND FLAME RESISTANT PROPERTIES FOR BUILDING and TRANSPORT APPLICATIONS (INTIMIRE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2013,
This proposal INTIMIRE concerns the production of fire retardant and flame resistant polyester and polypropylene fibres, films and upholstery end products based on the intumescent flame retardancy concept. These products must give an answer to the evolution in requirements defined in upcoming European norms for upholstered furniture and railway transportation. They also must offer improved durabil ...

Development of new agrotextiles from renewable resources and with a tailored biodegradability (BIOAGROTEX)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
Increasing oil-prices, a growing threat of oil-shortages, Kyoto agreements on green house gases, environmental effects and climate changes, are all elements that contribute to the concern for the future of our oil based economy. Not only the search for biofuels but also for bio-based polymers and a more extensive use of the natural resources by upgrading the value of natural fibres and side produ ...

Integration of emerging soft nanotechnology into the functionalisation of textiles (NANOBOND)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
One key area of the European textile industry is the technical development of products and processes for reducing contamination and the removal of stains of all kinds from manufactured articles, including textiles. To a large part this is necessary for keeping up performance and function, often for health reasons, although sometimes this is for purely aesthetic effects. Thus, easy-to-clean, soil r ...
