Pre-commercial lines for production of surface nanostructured antimicrobial and anti-biofilm textiles, medical devices and water treatment membranes (PROTECT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,
PROTECT aims to introduce to the market One step antimicrobial finish processes for polymeric materials used in i) specialty textiles for public areas and hospitals, ii) water treatment membranes, and iii) implantable medical devices. Compared to main existing manufacturing routes, the proposed one-step coating technologies are simple, fast, and reproducible. For this, PROTECT uses as a starting p ...

A pilot line of antibacterial and antifungal medical textiles based on a sonochemical process (SONO)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
Hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections are a major financial issue in the European healthcare system. The financial impact of these infections counteract medical advances and expensive medical treatments by increasing the length of hospital stay by at least 8 days on average per affected patient, hence adding more than 10 millions patient days in hospitals in Europe per year. The statistics on ...

Flame Retardant ON Textile (FRONT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,
The aim of the research is to develop and produce flame retardant textile, with economical and environmental advantages. Once project will be completed, it will be possible to increase the flame retardant textile market quota to the detriment of untreated textiles. This could support the introduction of new standards and rules to grant a higher security level against fires.
