High performance biomass extracted functional hybrid polymer coatings for food, cosmetic and medical device packaging (HYPERBIOCOAT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2019,

Today, fresh food as well as convenience food is sold in packages. Hygienic conditions, long shelf life and easy availability of these packed products account for our standard of living. However, this convenience contributes in a significant way to environmental pollution, as packaging is mainly achieved by plastic materials in this case. Biodegradable packaging materials have been on the market f ...

Enhanced Process Monitoring and Control Technology to Accelerate Development of Bioresorbable Polymeric Medical Devices (BIO-POLYTEC)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

The manufacture of bioresorbable medical devices for temporary implantation inside the human body is growing into a high-value industry with many benefits over traditional devices. Bioresorbable devices do not need a removal operation, reducing patient trauma and significant healthcare costs. Due to the ability to add antibacterial or antibiotic drugs and to control the release rate at the implan ...

Nanomaterials and nanotechnology for advanced photovoltaics (NanoPV)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

The NanoPV project aims at making a breakthrough step-change in photovoltaics by the removal of a set of bottlenecks which have been identified to block the application of nanostructures for high-efficiency, low-cost solar cells. The bottlenecks arise from the present lack of up-scalable processes that can meet the needs for nanomaterials in PV applications, and the lack of relevant equipment and ...

European 450mm Equipment & Materials Initiative (EEMI 450)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 1, 2013,

Large-scale semiconductor fabrication is now standardised on 300mm diameter wafers. However, as demand grows and node dimensions diminish, major chipmakers are considering offsetting the growing costs of miniaturisation by increasing wafer size to 450mm to cut cost per produced die. A prerequisite is the availability of the required quality wafers and equipment able to handle larger wafers. The EN ...

NOVEL METHOD TO REMOVE CHLOROANISOLES PRESENT IN CORK STOPPERS (NEATCORK)

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

"Cork taint refers to a common fault in wine, associated with the presence of haloanisole compounds (particularly, 2,4,6-trichloroanisole or TCA) in large enough concentrations - above 3 ng/l, to degrade the sensorial attributes of wine. Cork taint affects as much as 5% of the bottled wine in Europe, and results in annual losses of €700M. Cork stoppers are the main TCA contamination source. Even t ...
