Valorisation of mushroom agrowastes to obtain high value products (FUNGUSCHAIN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2020,

The project aims at the valorization of agricultural residues coming from mushroom (Agaricus Bisporus) farming residues as a case to set up new cascading possibilities using innovative procedures to extract high value bio-based additives (antioxidants, antimicrobials, proteins), convert lipids into bioplasticizers and polysaccharides (glucans and fermentable sugars) into biopolymers using remainin ...

Optimised moulded pulp for renewable packaging solutions (PULPACKTION)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2020,

The aim of PULPACKTION project is to develop cellulose-based tailored-to-purpose packaging solutions for specific food and electronic packaging applications which needs medium and high barrier requirement’s and that nowadays are packing in polymer fossil based solutions. This innovation will take advantage of the flexibility in the wet-moulding production of wood pulp based materials. Different ty ...

UNDERSTANDING THE CLOSTRIDIUM SPORE, A PREREQUISTE FOR DISEASE INTERVENTIONS AND EXPLOITATION (CLOSPORE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Bacterial endospores are the most resistant life-forms on earth and the most important single feature of the genus Clostridium. Thus, whilst the pathogenesis of its notorious pathogens (C. botulinum, C. perfringens and C. difficile) is ascribed to the devastating toxins produced (neurotoxins, endotoxins and cytotoxins), it is their capacity to produce spores that lies at the heart of the diseases ...

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 ...

Research in new biomass-based composites from renewable resources with improved properties for vehicle parts moulding (ECOplast)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2014,

The main objective of the project is the development of new biomass-based composites validated for the automotive industry by means of the adaptation of base biopolymers and the generation of new ones, using innovative treatments for fibre reinforcements and the additivation of the base polymer with novel fillers and nanofillers. The principal research line will be focused on the adaptation of ava ...

Carbon Nanotube Confinement Strategies to Develop Novel Polymer Matrix Composites (POCO)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

Light composite materials for load bearing applications can be made using different type reinforcements and polymer matrices. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been studied extensively because of their exceptional mechanical and electrical properties, yet their practical and extensive use in commercial materials is missing. The utilization of CNTs as reinforcement to design novel composites is a quite o ...
