Smart release of biocides in finishing materials for the sector of construction (Axioma)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
Bioresistancy of building and finishing materials usually requires addition of dedicated bioactive chemicals, so-called biocides. The usual increase in biocide concentration only results in a minor prolongation of the material service-life. For example, coatings usually exhibit biocidal functionality between 0.5 and 2 years – depending on environmental loads –, whereas the desired service life in ...

Development of a novel and cost-effective range of nanotech improved coatings to substantially improve NIR (Near Infrared Reflective) properties of the building envelope (COOL-Coverings)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,
Recent work has shown the possibility to drastically increase the reflection performance of the building envelop, using nanotechnologies. Standard metal oxides are already known for their solar reflection properties, but latest developments identified that nanotechnologies can improve Index of Reflectance from an average of 0,35 to 0,85 because of their effectiveness on Near Infrared wavelengths, ...
