AlGaInN materials on semi-polar templates for yellow emission in solid state lighting applications (ALIGHT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,

With up to 20% of electrical energy being consumed by lighting, it is important to use this energy wisely. Replacing the inefficient light generation technologies of today with solid state lighting based on gallium nitride (GaN) light emitting diodes (LEDs) will enable us to reduce this 20% to 10% or even 5%. However, several factors need to be addressed to accelerate the uptake of this emerging ...

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 ...
