Functional Adaptive nano-Materials and technologies for energy efficient BUILDings (FOAM-BUILD)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
FoAM-BUILD will develop next generation External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) for new builds and retrofitting applications. This comprises innovations in:1) Insulation material: development of new, lightweight and highly insulating nano-cellular foams, with a 50% reduction in thermal conductivity compared to conventional insulation elements. Non-halogenated nano-based flame retarda ...

Wind Blade Using Cost-Effective Advanced Composite Lightweight Design (WALID)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,
WALiD will combine design, material and process developments using thermoplastic materials to create cost-efficient, lightweight and recyclable blades which will be demonstrated by industrial end-users. The power generated by off-shore wind turbines is proportional to the rotor plane area of the blade. However, the weight of large blades puts the materials used under considerable strain, leading t ...

A novel sound absorption technology to enable energy efficient construction techniques and promote the health and wellbeing of occupants (ECHO2ECO)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,
The building sector consumes 40% of Europe’s energy. With rising energy prices and greater focus on energy efficiency the building sector offers the single largest potential for energy savings. This is reflected in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, EPBD, 2002/91/EC. This Directive strongly encourages the use of passive heating and cooling techniques such as thermal mass in building c ...

"Development of low-cost, lightweight Highly Insulating Polymers for refrigerated transport, heating and cooling installations" (HIP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
"Our members, as operators of refrigerated transport and installers of HVAC systems, are dependent on excellent insulation for energy efficiency. There are over 600,000 refrigerated vehicles and containers in Europe and each one wastes thousands of Euros of energy each year due to poor insulation. Likewise, payback on renewable energy systems is compromised by poor thermal storage, reducing their ...

A Safer Alternative Replacement for Thiourea Based Accelerators in the Production Process of Chloroprene Rubber (SafeRubber)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,
In December 2007, the European Commission imposed a total of € 247 635 000 fines on the five largest manufacturers of chloroprene rubber for participating in a cartel. As a result of this price fixing and market abuse by large enterprises, the SME involvement in this sector has diminished and requires research investment to re-build its presence. Additionally there is increasing pressure to replac ...
