Self-assembly of nano crystalline cellulose for lightweight cellular structures (NCC-FOAM)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"Cellulose, the primary structural component of plants, is the most ubiquitous and abundant organic compound on the planet. When cellulose fibrils are processed under carefully controlled conditions, it is possible to release highly crystalline nano-particles known as “nano crystalline cellulose (NCC)”. Recently, NCC-FOAM partners have developed a unique technique for self-assembling NCC into high ...

Developing Novel Fire-Resistant High Performance Composites (FIRE-RESIST)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2015,
The greater use of polymer matrix composite materials would be highly desirable. Their low weight, along with their inherent resistance to corrosion and fatigue, enables more fuel efficient and sustainable transport structures. However, for many applications, the biggest factor currently preventing the more widespread use of light high-performance polymer matrix composites is their poor fire perfo ...

Processing and Upscaling of Fire-Resistant Nano-Filled Thermosetting Polyester Resin (POLYFIRE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
Polyfire will develop and upscale techniques for processing halogen-free, fire-retardant nanocomposites and coatings based on unsaturated polyester resins and nanoclays. These materials will improve public safety and environmental impact by eliminating halogenated fire-retardants, which produce toxic combustion products. The ability of well-dispersed nanoparticles to enhance the fire-retardancy of ...
