RENEWABLE ECO-FRIENDLY POLY(LACTIC ACID) NANOCOMPOSITES FROM WASTE SOURCES (ECLIPSE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a compostable polymer derived from renewable food-derived sources (mainly starch and sugar beet) and possesses the highest potential for a commercial major scale production of renewable packaging materials. Since PLA is compostable and derived from sustainable sources, it can be envisaged as a promising material for the reduction of the enormous societal problems associa ...

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 ...

Media and Citizenship: Transnational Television Cultures Reshaping Political Identity in the European Union (Media & Citizenship)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
Media & Citizenship studies the ways transnational media, in particular Arabic language television, reshape the political landscapes of citizenship (Area 8.5.1) in the European Union. It provides the first European wide empirical research on the use of Arabic language television and its effect on integration in multicultural societies (Area 8.3.1). After collecting ratings data across 7 EU nations ...
