Biomimetic Ultrathin Structures as a Multipurpose Platform for Nanotechnology-Based Products (MultiPlat)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

The goal of the MultiPlat project is to develop biomimetic proton conductive membranes with nanometer thickness (nanomembranes) through convergence of a number of fields. The primary application of this multipurpose nanotechnological platform is the next generation of fuel cells where it will replace the prevailing evolutionary modifications of the state of the art solutions. Secondary application ...

Cavity-confined Luminophores for Advanced Photonic Materials: A Training Action for Young Researchers (FINELUMEN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"""FINELUMEN"" is a 4-year project aiming at the preparation and extensive characterization of luminescent materials in which suitably designed organic and inorganic luminophores are encapsulated within nano-containers (carbon nanotubes and coordination cages) in which they can preserve and even improve their emission output. The ultimate goal is to create a library of luminescent modules emitting ...

Nanodesigned electrochemical converter of solar energy into hydrogen hosting natural enzymes or their mimics (SOLHYDROMICS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

"Leaves can split water into oxygen and hydrogen at ambient conditions exploiting sun light. Prof. James Barber, one of the key players of SOLHYDROMICS, was the recipient of the international Italgas Prize in 2005 for his studies on Photosystem II (PSII), the enzyme that governs this process. In photosynthesis, H2 is used to reduce CO2 and give rise to the various organic compounds needed by the o ...

Development of a X-Ray tube based on the Field Emission properties of Carbon Nanotubes (NANORAY)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

"NANORAY aims to realize an innovative device capable to generate X-rays by means of a novel concept of cold cathode, based on carbon nanotubes selectively grown upon ad-hoc synthesized nanostructures (such as vertically oriented nanotubes on metallic tips, selected deposition of CNTs on predetermined areas, array of oriented bundles, etc..) Its performances can be wrapped up by mentioning some of ...

Development of Exposure Scenarios for Manufactured Nanomaterials (NANEX)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2010,

Nanotechnology is a fast growing industry producing a wide variety of manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) and numerous potential applications. Consequently, the potential for exposure to humans and the environment is likely to increase. Human exposure to MNMs and environmental release of these materials can occur during all the life cycle stages of these materials. For each stage of the life cycle o ...
