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 ...

Air pollution treatment in European urban environments by means of photocatalytic textiles (LIFE PHOTOCITYTEX)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Background Air pollution from traffic is a growing problem, especially in urban areas. In recent years the use of titanium dioxide (TiO2) based photocatalytic self-cleaning and de-polluting materials has been considered to remove these pollutants. TiO2 is now commercially available and used in construction material or paints for environmental purposes. Fu ...
