Biobased self-functionalised self-reinforced composite materials based on high performance nanofibrillar PLA fibres (BIO4SELF)

Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2019,

BIO4SELF aims at fully biobased self-reinforced polymer composites (SRPC). To produce the SRPCs two polylactic acid (PLA) grades are required: a low melting temperature (Tm) one to form the matrix and an ultra high stiffness and high Tm one to form the reinforcing fibres. To reach unprecedented stiffness in the reinforcing PLA fibres, we will combine PLA with bio-LCP (liquid crystalline polymer) f ...

Erosion and Ice Resistant cOmposite for Severe operating conditions (EIROS)

Start date: Mar 8, 2016, End date: Mar 7, 2019,

In the wind power generation, aerospace and other industry sectors there is an emerging need to operate in the low temperature and highly erosive environments of extreme weather conditions. Such conditions mean current materials either have a very short operational lifetime or demand such significant maintenance as to render many applications either very expensive to operate or in some cases non-v ...

Trash-2-Cash: Designed high-value products from zero-value waste textiles and fibres via design driven technologies (Trash-2-Cash)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: Nov 30, 2018,

Within Trash-2-Cash, growing problems with paper fibre waste from the paper industry and textile fibre waste, originating from a continuously increasing textile consumption, will be solved through design-driven innovation. This will be performed by using the wastes to regenerate fibres that will be included into fashion, interior and other products. The cotton production suffers from non-sustainab ...

High-performance, Flexible, AUTOnomous Systems manufactured with Unique, Industrial ROLL-to-roll equipments (ROLL-OUT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

This R&I action will focus on optimally combining traditional roll-to-roll (R2R) compatible fabrication technologies such as printing with unique R2R sputtering, ALD and heterogeneous integration for flexible, thin, large-area electronics applications. It is seen that the different R2R fabrication methods all have their strengths and weaknesses such that using a cost-performance-optimized combinat ...

Hub of Application Laboratories for Equipment Assessment in Laser Based Manufacturing (APPOLO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

During more than 50 years of the laser existence, they have been proved as the unique tool for diverse material processing application. New application ideas, coming from universities and research institutions, are usually implemented by spin-off companies with limited resources for market penetration. Research laboratories are using universal laser tools, while effective and low-cost production r ...

MUlti-layers control&cognitive System to drive metal and plastic production line for Injected Components (MUSIC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) of light alloys and Plastic Injection Molding (PIM) are two of the most representative large-scale production-line in manufacturing field, which are strategic for the EU-industry largely dominated by SMEs. Due to the high number of process variables involved and to the non-sinchronisation of the process control units, HPDC and PIM are most "defect-generating" and ...

Injection Moulding Production Technology for Multi-functional Nano-structured Plastic Components enabled by NanoImprint Lithography (PLAST4FUTURE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Micro- and nanometer structuring has proven to be an efficient method to functionalize surfaces, and is attractive to manufacturers of plastic products. Plastic components are volume manufactured by injection moulding. Compact Discs and Digital Video Discs are today manufactured with nanometer range lateral resolution but, only on planar surfaces. Free-form (double-curved) moulding tools today off ...
