Tissue engineering of the right heart outflow tract by a biofunctionalized bioresorbable polymeric valved tube (TEH-TUBE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Approximately 42% of infants’ mortality in the world is related to congenital heart defects (prevalence: 8-12/1000 births). Over 1/3 require the reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) by surgical procedures which currently use inert materials without any growth potential. Consequently, multiple reoperations are often required, with their attendant high risk of mortality and m ...

Single-Port Insulin Infusion for Improved Diabetes Management (SPIDIMAN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Existing therapeutic devices for diabetic patients suffer from bulky size, inaccurate measurements and the difficulties of handling two body interfaces. Suboptimal control of blood glucose levels in type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus patients results in periods of hypo- and hyperglycaemia leading to severe and life-threatening complications. Exploiting a novel glucose sensor technology, SPIDIMAN a ...

Development of an innovative manufacturing process for the in-LINE COAting of pultruded composites (COALINE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

"COALINE will develop a in-line clean one-stage process, which is free of VOCs and small particles emissions, able to produce properly coated composite pultruded profiles by means of the development of the sensing technology, advanced mould design and microwave aided curing needed to foster an improved composite – coating adhesion with a reduced labor and process cost. COALINE profiles will be joi ...

Analyzing Durability Of iNsulating materIalS (ADONIS)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

"The SAGE2 project was conceived with the goal of developing a novel counter-rotating open-rotor demonstrator. Implicit in its design is a system capable of deicing the rotors. The most effective method of deicing is one which uses electrical resistance to heat the rotor blades; however, in order to deploy such a deicing technique, it is imperative that the electrical systems supplying power are ...

Advanced manufacturing processes for Low Cost Greener Li-Ion batteries (GREENLION)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

GREENLION is a Large Scale Collaborative Project with the FP7 (topic GC.NMP.2011-1) leading to the manufacturing of greener and cheaper Li-Ion batteries for electric vehicle applications via the use of water soluble, fluorine-free, high thermally stable binders, which would eliminate the use of VOCs and reduce the cell assembly cost.GREENLION has 6 key objectives: (i) development of new act ...

Durable biofilm-restraining surfaces and cleaning procedures for the food processing industry (CLEANSURF)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Efficient and safe food production is a prerequisite for building a society capable of feeding the growing population. With the world population growing at extraordinary rates and the consequent repercussions in the dietary and consumption habits, it is estimated that food production has to be increased at least by 70% in the next 30 years, with the looming threat of a proportional surge of food-b ...

Development of a resorbable sealing patch for the prevention of anastomotic leakage after colorectal cancer surgical treatment (ANASTOMOSEAL)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

The goal of the AnastomoSEAL project is to develop a biomaterial for tissue engineering for the age-related colorectal cancer (CRC), aiming at increasing the quality of life of patients as well as decreasing the costs of health and long term care. CRC is the second commonest form of cancer in Europe, with an aged-standardized incidence rate of 48 cases per 100’000 in 2008 (data from European Cance ...

Bicarbonate media blasting for paint-varnish removal and dry surface treatment (BiMed)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

Aircraft paint removal and repainting are required periodically during the operating lifetime of an aircraft for inspection, maintenance, and repair, as well as for changes in paint schemes.Historically, paint removal has been achieved using chemical strippers containing chlorinated solvents, phenol and chromates, which created hazardous working conditions and were a major source of hazardous-wast ...

High-protective clothing for complex emergency operations (SAFEPROTEX)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

The idea that constitutes the basis of the proposed project is to address the main issues that currently limit the wide acceptance of protective garments, i.e. protection against multiple hazards, extension of the life-cycle of protective garments, physiological comfort and mechanical parameters. Overall, the proposed research activities aim at addressing the complex risky conditions met in variou ...
