Bringing innovAtion by Scaling up nanoMATerials and Inks for printing (BASMATI)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The BASMATI project will address the development of active nanomaterial and electrochemical inks for printing technologies such as screen and inkjet printing. The ink formulations will be tested on a case study through printing of a thin film battery. The general objective of the project is to scale-up the ink formulations to pilot line ensuring large volume fabrication of new products with improv ...

Cycling resources embedded in systems containing Light Emitting Diodes (CYCLED)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

The project cycLED aims at optimising the flows of resources over all life-cycle phases of Light Emitting Diodes (LED) products. The energy saving potential for LEDs is significant, and the strategic importance of the LED technology is reflected in the current and upcoming market development. However, LED-based product systems contain many resources like indium, gallium or rare earth metals. Some ...

EUROpean multilevel integrated BIOREFinery design for sustainable biomass processing (EuroBioRef)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

The development and implementation of bio-refinery processes is an absolute necessity and the key to meet the vision towards bio-based economy. The EuroBioRef concept is an integrated, sustainable and diversified bio-refinery involving all biomass value chain stakeholders. The latter will allow large-scale research, testing, optimisation and demonstration of processes in the production of a wide r ...

OLEFIN METATHESIS AS A PRACTICAL SYNTHETIC TOOL (EUMET)

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

Catalysis is a well-established area that is well known for shortening molecular assembly protocols. The beneficial overall environmental impact emerging from catalytic uses is also well understood. Making use of catalysis, we plan to develop a program focusing on a very important reaction in organic and homogeneous catalysis that has not yet reached its potential; Olefin Metathesis. The 2005 No ...

Infrared Imaging Components for Use in Automotive Safety Applications (ICU)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

The objective of ICU is to develop the core photonic components for a Far Infrared (FIR) camera module aimed at high volume automotive Night Vision Enhancement Systems (NVE) of the future. FIR imaging provides a high-contrast signal for warm (living) objects. This makes FIR systems very attractive for the detection of living objects and thereby helping to reduce fatalities and injuries. However, t ...

Fusing Far-Infrared and Near-Infrared Imaging for Pedestrian Injury Mitigation (FNIR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2010,

Road accidents involving pedestrians are far more frequent at night than during the day. More than 12 000 pedestrians and cyclists are killed and almost 300 000 are seriously injured in the EU every year. The most important factor is the driver's dramatically reduced range of vision. Fewer pedestrians will be killed or seriously injured through improved driver warning strategies enabled by Night V ...

In Situ Metal Precipitation for remediation of groundwater contaminated with non ferrous metals (INSIMEP)

Start date: Sep 19, 2005, End date: Sep 18, 2009,

Background The majority of the around 1.5 million soil-contaminated sites in Europe are polluted with non-ferrous metals. In many cases, this has led to the contamination of groundwater with metals such as zinc, cadmium, cobalt and nickel. In Flanders alone more than 5 000 sites contained groundwater that is contaminated with metals. Currently, the best ...
