New generation of protective coatings alternative to hard chrome (HARDALT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

The total annual estimated direct cost of corrosion, not including wear damage, in the worlds is estimated at about 3.1% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Protective coatings serve to prevent wear and corrosion and thus reduce the total loss from corrosion and wear. Hard chromium plating is one of the most widely used techniques for production of such coatings. However, hard chromium fa ...

Automated Pollution Inspection Scanning System for Soil using a robotic vehicle (POLLINS)

Start date: Nov 15, 2013, End date: Nov 14, 2016,

"Currently, the detection of soil pollution is done by manual surveys which are inefficient, unreliable, time consuming and very expensive. The need of a better and low-cost technical approach, that would be able to assess contaminated areas before programing the required remediation actions, has become more intense due to public awareness for the environment.This project aims to develop a semi-au ...

Quantum Dot Technologies for Extended Reach Nodes In Access Networks (QUATERNIAN)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

"The QUATERNIAN project will use quantum-dot laser technology to expand the product ranges and support the competitive position of European SMEs selling into optical access network markets. Access networks based on optical technologies are rapidly growing, as traditional copper based networking proves overly complex, energy inefficient and has high maintenance cost. With the advent of high-speed m ...

Fibre Reinforced Composite Reflectors for Concentrated Solar Power Plants (CompoSol)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

The principle of concentrated solar power (CSP) is to reflect and focus solar energy collected from a wide area on to one point, using the thermal energy to produce steam or a hot liquid in order to transfer or store the energy.For this proposal, the solar collector will be made of carbon fibre composite material. This can be designed to be stiff (maintaining its position) whilst being light weigh ...
