MELT SPUN FIBRES BASED ON COMPOSTABLE BIOPOLYMERS FOR APPLICATION IN AUTOMOTIVE INTERIORS (BIOFIBROCAR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

"The main objective of the research project is to manufacture textile substrates (woven or non-woven) for vehicle interiors from renewable resource-based synthetic fibres from Polylactic Acid derivatives that can be used as a substitute for the polyester fibres that are currently used. These biofibres must fulfil the same requirements that the fibres used at the moment including thermal resistance ...

"Supporting the roofing SMEs in the development and use of a new generation of roofing materials applicable with fault tolerant procedures, reducing the use of petroleum-based products" (NU-ROOF)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"One of the most important and costly operations in the construction and maintenance of a building is the insulation of the roof. Current materials used in the application procedures for waterproofing are applied with heat, locally melting the edges to create a continuous impermeable layer. This procedure highly depends on the operators’ skills and it is prone to error and potential leakages. It ...

Development of a rapid configuration system for textile production machinery based on the physical behaviour simulation of precision textile structures (MODSIMTex)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

The textile industry faces important challenges regarding the production of new advanced textile products. It is not possible to define the characteristics and parameters of a given textile structure due to the difficulty of measuring them. This situation makes very difficult to configure the machines involved in the production of such textiles; the typical practices consists in manufacturing samp ...

Blastworthy textile-based luggage containers for aviation safety (FLY-BAG)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2011,

"The rise in worldwide terrorism has required measures be taken to harden aircraft against catastrophic in-flight failure due to concealed explosives. Commercial aviation can be protected from the threat of explosives by : 1. preventing explosives from reaching the aircraft 2. mitigating the effects of an explosive protecting the aircraft from an onboard explosion. The risk that a small quantity ...

"An innovative passive humidification device delivering improved performance, reduced healthcare costs and greater patient care" (HUMID)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2010,

"Humidification is an essential function of the nose and mouth to ensure normal health and function of the respiratory system. During surgery and within the intensive care unit, the patient’s upper airway tract is bypassed to assist breathing and enable controlled delivery of medical gases; and thus artificial means must be used for humidification. The state of the art provides two main devices: a ...
