A Flexible Sustainable Active and Intelligent Packaging Technology Platform Enabling Enhanced Shelf Life, Quality and Safety of Fresh Food Produce (ISA-PACK)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

ISA-Pack will develop a flexible sustainable, active and intelligent technology platform for the packaging of fresh food produce, targeting extended shelf life and quality, enhanced safety and reduced food and packaging waste. Whilst suitable for a wide range of foods, ISA-Pack will validate the resulting materials and technologies for modified atmosphere and stretch wrap packaging of fresh beef s ...

Nanotechnology Enhanced Extruded Fibre Reinforced Foam Cement Based Environmentally Friendly Sandwich Material for Building Applications (FIBCEM)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Fibre Reinforced Cement (FRC) is a durable, fire and corrosion resistant material widely used in the construction industry. Coupled with the low cost of Portland cement, these properties make it ideally suited for applications such as roofing tiles and sidings. However the production of cement is associated with a large CO2 ‘footprint’, for each tonne of cement produced nearly one tonne of CO2 is ...

Low-cost switchable reflective polymeric solar heat gain control films for energy-efficient smart-window applications (SOLARGAIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

Buildings are a major end-user of European energy, representing 40% of energy consumption and 1,800 million tonnes of CO2 emissions. Improved energy efficiency within buildings is, therefore, a priority objective in enabling Europe to meet its Kyoto Protocol commitments. Whilst a desirable architectural feature enabling enhanced occupier comfort, windows are recognised as a key weak spot in the bu ...

"Development of low-cost, lightweight Highly Insulating Polymers for refrigerated transport, heating and cooling installations" (HIP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"Our members, as operators of refrigerated transport and installers of HVAC systems, are dependent on excellent insulation for energy efficiency. There are over 600,000 refrigerated vehicles and containers in Europe and each one wastes thousands of Euros of energy each year due to poor insulation. Likewise, payback on renewable energy systems is compromised by poor thermal storage, reducing their ...

Development of a Rapid Cooling technology for commercial refrigeration applications (RapidCool)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Commercial refrigerators and freezers are ubiquitous and are used in diverse environments such as supermarkets, grocery stores, service stations, restaurants, hotels, pubs, and cafés. The most visible are vending machines and open or closed refrigerated cabinets such as open display cabinets. Combined commercial refrigerator/freezers are estimated to consume 85TWh of electricity per annum. Althoug ...

Piezo Pair Materials for the Selective Exclusion of Workplace Noise (PiezoSelEx)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

The problem of Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) in the work place is a problem for SMEs and European workers, particularly in the manufacturing and transport sectors. NIHL results in reduced productivity from lost work days, insurance claims and potential early retirement. Current EU legislation requires employers to provide suitable ear protection for workers exposed to high levels of noise, but ...

Advanced Arterial Hypotension Adverse Event prediction through a Novel Bayesian Neural Network (AVERT-IT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,

Hypotension (sub-normal blood pressure) adverse events (AE's) occur commonly in patients managed in intensive care and high dependency units. Health care technology which could reduce the burden of these events by as little as ten percent would equate to at least five billion Euros p.a. saved by European healthcare organisations for use in other treatment regimensThe AVERT-IT project will create ...

Fire-hose Excellent Manufacturing by means of an Innovative Rubber Compounding-Extrusion-Vulcanization process (FOIRCEV)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

"Lay flat rubber fire hoses are a specialized product based on technology knowledge. They differentiate from lower cost alternatives in their durability, performance and their maintenance-free lifetime. Competition from low labor cost countries, presently based on lower cost alternatives, has already covered most of the building fire-fighting equipment market. European manufacturers’ technology al ...
