Innovative High Resolution Electro-Static printing of Multifunctional Materials. (Hi-Response)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

The EU is well placed to exploit printed electronic technologies to create greater economic and social benefits for the EU, but only if we are able to commercialise innovative technologies created within the EU.Ink jet printing technologies are at the forefront of printed electronic developments. However, Ink jet printing has only been able to achieve a resolution of >=10um and the viscosity of pr ...

Printed Logic for Applications of Screen Matrix Activation Systems (PLASMAS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

The EU has lost a significant share of the electronics manufacture sector to the Far East, resulting in a negative trade balance of >€100bn/year within this sector. This is (in part) due to the current manufacturing technologies that are based on subtractive processing that are expensive, wasteful and energy intensive, making manufacture in the EU economically and environmentally unfeasible. Print ...

Functional joining of dissimilar materials using directed self-assembly of nanoparticles by capillary-bridging (HYPERCONNECT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Tomorrows micro-electronic devices will have to show more functionality and performance at smaller form factor, lower cost and lower energy consumption in order to be competitive on this multi-billion dollar market. Advanced system integration is thus inevitable, a trend bound to joining dissimilar materials with new packaging technologies. These processes must enable lower thermal resistances and ...

Innovative, environmentally friendly nanophosphor down converter materials for enhanced solar cell efficiency that will reduce energy production costs and increase cell lifetime (NanoPhoSolar)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The NanoPhoSolar project aims to overcome the limitations relating to the efficiency and performance of a range of photovoltaic (PV) systems by developing a transparent NanoPhosphor down converting material capable of absorbing Ultra Violet (UV) and short wavelength visible light and re-emitting in the more useful longer wavelength visible spectrum(range 525-850nm).This will enable the efficiency ...

Development of green anticorrosion coatings for steel protection based on environmentally friendly nanoparticles and conducting polymers (STEELCOAT)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

The overall objective of the STEELCOAT project is to reduce the use of toxic and hazardous compounds in, and extend the service life of, anticorrosion coatings for steel. The project aims to develop novel green, environmentally friendly, anticorrosion coatings with extended durability for steel protection. We will develop both high solids (HS) solvent-borne and water-borne anticorrosion maintenanc ...

An innovative environmentally friendly thermo-electric power generation system for automotive and marine applications that is powered by exhaust waste thermal energy to reduce fuel consumption (Power Driver)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

Car CO2 emissions are to be limited to 120 g/km for all new passenger cars by 2012. If they are unable to achieve targets, then this may have a significant negative impact on manufacturers. Cars also produce emissions such as Nitrogen oxides, Hydrocarbons, Carbon monoxide and particulate matter which are subject to tight controls. For marine application, existing and forthcoming legislation is aim ...

Development of an automated digital radiography system for the inspection of plastic electronics (PlastronicsSpec)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Plastic electronics is a general term used to describe electronic devices based on electrically conducting polymers i.e. organic electronic materials as opposed to solid state inorganic electronic materials like silicon etc. These materials hold promise of a future revolution in consumer electronics because both the devices and circuit connections based on them can be physically flexible and produ ...

THE REACTIVITY AND TOXICITY OF ENGINEERED NANOPARTICLES: RISKS TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN HEALTH (NanoReTox)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

NanoReTox will identify the potential risks to the environment and human health posed by free engineered (i.e. manmade) nanomaterial by comprehensively addressing five key questions: (1) How does the environment into which nanoparticles are released affect their physicochemical properties and their bioreactivity? (2) How does this impact on their ability to interact with and/or penetrate mammalia ...
