Innovative multi-functional Vacuum-Insulation-Panels (VIPs) for use in the building sector (INNOVIP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

INNOVIP Consortium will reinvent the top-of-the-line insulating material vacuum-insulation-panels (VIP) by improving their thermal performance over the entire lifetime by at least 25 % and making VIPs adjustable, mountable and machineable. By reducing the density of the core material and/or using an alternative core material together with less expensive VIP-envelopes as gas barrier, it will be po ...

Novel nanoparticle enhanced Digital Materials for 3D Printing and their application shown for the robotic and electronic industry (DIMAP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

The here proposed DIMAP project focuses on the development of novel ink materials for 3D multi-material printing by PolyJet technology. We will advance the state-of-the art of AM through modifications of their fundamental material properties by mainly using nanoscale material enhanced inks. This widens the range of current available AM materials and implements functionalities in final objects. The ...

Indium-Free Transparent Conductive Oxides for Glass and Plastic Substrates (INFINITY)

Start date: Dec 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

INFINITY will develop an inorganic alternative to a scarce and high cost material, indium tin oxide (ITO), currently used as a Transparent Conductive Coating (TCC) for display electrodes on glass and plastic substrates. The novel conductive materials to be developed in this project will be based on low cost sol-gel chemistry using more widely available metallic elements and will leverage recent ad ...

Development of recovery processes for recycling of valuable components from FPDs (In, Y, Nd) for the production of high added value NPs (RECYVAL-NANO)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment is considered to increase drastically in the coming decades. WEEE contains considerable quantities of valuable components used in high-tech applications that currently are not recycled. Europe needs to improve and develop Recovery, Recycling and Reuse of critical materials in order to avoid the dependency on imports, high prices and risk of supply imposed ...

Fully artificial photo-electrochemical device for low temperature hydrogen production (ArtipHyction)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Leaves can split water into O2 and H2 at ambient conditions exploiting sun light. James Barber, one of the key players of ArtipHyction, elucidated Photosystem II (PSII), the enzyme that governs this process. In photosynthesis, H2 is used to reduce CO2 and give rise to the various organic compounds needed by the organisms or even oily compounds which can be used as fuels. However, a specific enzyme ...
