Cost-effective low-friction SEALS by Texturing During Moulding technology (TDM-SEALS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
As associations of the European plastic and rubber industry, one of our main duties is to monitor potential markets in order to identify novel trends and emerging market niches which can bring growth opportunities to our enterprises, mainly SMEs. In the sector of plastic and rubber seals there is clear and growing demand for higher performance, “zero-leak” seals. A seal is a device that joins mech ...

Optimal Strategy to Innovate and Reduce energy consumption In urban rail Systems (OSIRIS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
"For many transport modes, energy reduction strategies can be effectively formulated at the level of the vehicle or vessel. New technologies can therefore be introduced to a vehicle and the direct energy savings can be readily quantified. However, such approach is not suitable to be employed for urban rail, where it is not sufficient to consider only the energy performance of vehicles; the energy ...

Nanotechnology Enhanced Extruded Fibre Reinforced Foam Cement Based Environmentally Friendly Sandwich Material for Building Applications (FIBCEM)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
Fibre Reinforced Cement (FRC) is a durable, fire and corrosion resistant material widely used in the construction industry. Coupled with the low cost of Portland cement, these properties make it ideally suited for applications such as roofing tiles and sidings. However the production of cement is associated with a large CO2 ‘footprint’, for each tonne of cement produced nearly one tonne of CO2 is ...

Electric-VEhicle Control of individual wheel Torque for On- and Off-Road Conditions (E-VECTOORC) (E-VECTOORC)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
Description
The E-VECTOORC project brings together 11 complementary partners from industrial and research backgrounds to address the individual control of the electric motor torques of fully electric vehicles to enhance safety, comfort and fun-to-drive in both on- and off-road driving conditions. The key objectives of the proposal are: • Dev ...

DEVELOPMENT OF A MANUFACTURING PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SMALL SIZE COMPLEX-SHAPED STRUCTURAL AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS (COMPAIR)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
The manufacturing of plastic mouldings and assemblies is today dominated by low labour regions. This has led to a fall in the European SME market share for moulded components during the last 10 years. European SMEs within this segment need to develop more innovative products and manufacturing processes to be competitive in the market. One of the industries using increasing volumes of plastic and c ...

Controlled quenching and heat recovery from thin walled, complex high performance, hardened Al alloy extrusions (ECOQUENCH)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,
Our Idea is to develop a computer controlled, advanced, profile spray quench, heat extraction system with advanced cooling rate control, closed loop thermal and dimensional control and integrated high grade heat recovery & re-use. We aim to recover 50% of the energy wasted at the profile cooling stage (for re-use in the energy intensive heat-ageing process), and simultaneously reduce scrap produce ...

Development of a low FST and high mechanical performance nanocomposite foam core material for ferries and cruise ship superstructures” (NANOCORE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
"The main scope of the NANOCORE Project is the development of a new and cost-effective production technology for sandwich structures foam core materials with non-toxic flame retardants and enhanced mechanical properties. The primary reason for this new material development is the to meet the current European requirements of the REACH -Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals- legis ...
