Modified cost effective fibre based structures with improved multi-functionality and performance (MODCOMP)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2020,

Current technological demands are increasingly stretching the properties of advanced materials to expand their applications to more severe or extreme conditions, whilst simultaneously seeking cost-effective production processes and final products. The aim of this project is to demonstrate the influence of different surface enhancing and modification techniques on CF-based materials for high value ...

Enhancing structural efficiency through novel dissimilar material joining techniques (SAFEJOINT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

There is a high demand for the design of lightweight energy efficient structures for transport applications in order to meet CO2 emissions targets set worldwide. To achieve this designers have introduced the concept of “hybrid” structures where two or more lightweight materials are used each possessing unique properties that when joined together result in high performance lightweight structures t ...

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 ...

Innovative advanced Wood-based Composite Materials and Components (WOODY)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Currently the world of polymeric composite materials is almost exclusively based on fossil derived components. This fact represents a strong issue, as the non-renewable global oil resources are being exploited year after year, also as a consequence of the ever growing demand for plastics engineering materials. WOODY Project goal is to develop new composite panels and laminates from wood derived re ...
