High performance oil spill recovery system suitable to effectively operate in rough sea waters based on improved oleophilic/hydrophobic materials (Force7)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
...is based on the use of interconnected mops to create a large, wide mop net which will maximize the oil encounter rate on the surface of the sea whilst it is dragged to adsorb the slick. The system is extremely versatile because it only requires one vessel to operate and that can be any vessel of opportunity at the time of an emergency spill.The mops are made by novel fibres with controlled oleophy ...

Innovative advanced Wood-based Composite Materials and Components (WOODY)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
Currently the world of polymeric composite materials is almost exclusively based on fossil derived components. This fact represents a strong issue, as the non-renewable global oil resources are being exploited year after year, also as a consequence of the ever growing demand for plastics engineering materials. WOODY Project goal is to develop new composite panels and laminates from wood derived re ...
