Ecological and Multifunctional Composites for Application in Aircraft Interior and Secondary Structures (ECO-COMPASS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2019,

Composites are important materials used in aircrafts due to their excellent mechanical properties combined with relatively low weight enabling the reduction of fuel consumption. Expensive carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) are used in fuselage and wing structures and increasingly replace classic metals. Glass fibre reinforced plastics (GFRP) are mainly used for the interior panels. All these ...

Towards Indium free TCOs (INREP)

Start date: Feb 1, 2015, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

The goal of INREP is to develop and deploy valid and robust alternatives to indium (In) based transparent conductive electrode materials as electrodes. In-based materials, mainly ITO, are technologically entrenched in the commercial manufacture of components like LEDs (both organic and inorganic), solar cells, touchscreens, so replacing them with In-free transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) will r ...

Solid State Lighting for Europe (SSL4EU)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

The lighting industry worldwide faces a paradigm shift as a new era of lighting appears at the horizon: that is Solid State Lighting (SSL). Light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on inorganic semiconductors are mercury-free, have a long lifetime and instant on/off, can be colour tunable and most important: they will become the light source with the highest energy-efficiency in the near future. Thus, L ...
