Validation and commercialization of improved solutions for rest systems from ALL4REST project (ALL4RESTgo2MARKET) (ALL4RESTgo2MARKET)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

The integrated solutions developed in previous project ALL4REST (focused to achieve tactile/thermal comfort improvement establishing quantitative/qualitative evaluation of comfort or sleep quality) were mainly based in research and use of new biofibres and integration of thermoregulating systems, but also in use of new hotmelt adhesives, heatable textiles and microencapsulated scents for aromather ...

Highly efficient production of ultra-lightweight clay-aerogel materials and their integrated composites for building insulation (ICECLAY)

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

40% of energy consumption and 36% CO2 emissions in Europe are directly related to the buildings due mainly to inefficient insulation materials and systems. Currently required insulation performance may only be achieved either by installing extremely thick ordinary insulation materials and sacrificing living spaces or by using unaffordable the state-of-the-art insulation materials (e.g. silica aero ...

Integrated Solutions for Improve the quality of the rest (ALL4REST)

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

"The present project, ALL4REST, is focused on the development of comfort-improved rest systems, using non-obstrusive technologies that promote deeper, more restorative sleep and prevent nocturnal awakenings. The successful solutions will reduce awakenings and/or reduce time to sleep after an awakening and reduce sleep onset latency. Within the global comfort improvement, physical and thermal param ...

Development of new agrotextiles from renewable resources and with a tailored biodegradability (BIOAGROTEX)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

Increasing oil-prices, a growing threat of oil-shortages, Kyoto agreements on green house gases, environmental effects and climate changes, are all elements that contribute to the concern for the future of our oil based economy. Not only the search for biofuels but also for bio-based polymers and a more extensive use of the natural resources by upgrading the value of natural fibres and side produ ...

Integration of emerging soft nanotechnology into the functionalisation of textiles (NANOBOND)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

One key area of the European textile industry is the technical development of products and processes for reducing contamination and the removal of stains of all kinds from manufactured articles, including textiles. To a large part this is necessary for keeping up performance and function, often for health reasons, although sometimes this is for purely aesthetic effects. Thus, easy-to-clean, soil r ...
