THE MICRO ALGAE BIOREFINERY (D-FACTORY)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
The D-Factory aims to set a world benchmark for a sustainable biorefinery based on biomass from halophilic microalgae. Representing the largest (100s ha) of current commercial cultivation technologies for any microalga, Dunaliella microalgal biomass production uses raceways and lakes, and will be expanded with biorefinery concepts by drawing in European innovations in key biomass processing techno ...

Super-Stabilised Opaque Foam Coatings for Architectural Applications (DRYFOAM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
"A white coating’s opacity derives from some light absorption but predominantly light scattering, which is a function of differences in refractive index between paint components. In conventional white decorative coatings, for example, the main contribution to scattering is the difference in refractive index between titanium dioxide pigment (n=2.7) and the continuous medium, the resin system (n≈1.5 ...

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 gelcoating technology for composites for marine and wind-Turbine applications to reduce VOC emissions, processing time and cost (INGECT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
Gel coats are applied to fibre-reinforced composite materials for aesthetic or protection purposes. Styrene is an essential part of these gelcoats, with ~25% of this released during possessing. These styrene emissions cause irritation and neurological effects as well as possibly being carcinogen. One of the biggest negative effects of styrene is the perceived odour both by the workforce and neighb ...

Integrating Nanomaterials in Formulations (InForm)
Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
A coordination action is proposed to reinforce the international dimension of EU research on nanomaterials in formulations in the Asia-Pasific region. Three mechanism will be implemented to reach the widest possible audience in the appropriate formats that are convenient to the different stakeholders: (1) yearly major events, that will introduce a new concept to scientific gatherings and a departu ...
