ADVANCED TEXTILES FOR OPEN SEA BIOMASS CULTIVATION (AT~SEA)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

AT~SEA is a 3-year European project within FP7 (NMP work programme). The project aims at the development of advanced technical textiles in order to demonstrate the technical and economical feasibility of open sea cultivation of macroalgae (seaweed).The project targets the development of novel textile materials for 3 different elements of the aquatic biomass cultivation farms:• Advanced 3D multilay ...

40% of energy consumption and 36% CO2 emissions in Europe are directly related to the buildings due mainly to inefficient insulation materials and systems. Currently required insulation performance may only be achieved either by installing extremely thick ordinary insulation materials and sacrificing living spaces or by using unaffordable the state-of-the-art insulation materials (e.g. silica aero ...

Integrated Solutions for Improve the quality of the rest (ALL4REST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"The present project, ALL4REST, is focused on the development of comfort-improved rest systems, using non-obstrusive technologies that promote deeper, more restorative sleep and prevent nocturnal awakenings. The successful solutions will reduce awakenings and/or reduce time to sleep after an awakening and reduce sleep onset latency. Within the global comfort improvement, physical and thermal param ...

Increasing oil-prices, a growing threat of oil-shortages, Kyoto agreements on green house gases, environmental effects and climate changes, are all elements that contribute to the concern for the future of our oil based economy. Not only the search for biofuels but also for bio-based polymers and a more extensive use of the natural resources by upgrading the value of natural fibres and side produ ...

One key area of the European textile industry is the technical development of products and processes for reducing contamination and the removal of stains of all kinds from manufactured articles, including textiles. To a large part this is necessary for keeping up performance and function, often for health reasons, although sometimes this is for purely aesthetic effects. Thus, easy-to-clean, soil r ...
