New generation of protective coatings alternative to hard chrome (HARDALT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

The total annual estimated direct cost of corrosion, not including wear damage, in the worlds is estimated at about 3.1% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Protective coatings serve to prevent wear and corrosion and thus reduce the total loss from corrosion and wear. Hard chromium plating is one of the most widely used techniques for production of such coatings. However, hard chromium fa ...

Development of sustainable electrochemical corrosion protection systems for reinforced concrete structures (DOSECOPS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete structures is a worldwide problem and affects a large number of infrastructures. Two major causes connected to corrosion of reinforcing steel are the carbonation and chloride attack. Concrete carbonation produces a carbonated surface layer in which the pore solution pH value is depressed to near-neutral levels. A fall in pH to values below 10 at the steel ...

CoeLux: the sky light reconstruction in artificial illumination by means of solid transparent nanocomposites (CoeLux)

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

The quality of artificial illumination is a major concern in modern society, where living conditions often deprive us of the comfort of natural light. The global replacement of incandescent with fluorescent or white-LED lighting, foreseen owing to energy-saving constrain, will represent impoverishment in terms of colour-rendering capacity, thus raising the problem to the level of health care. In a ...
