Self-assembly of nano crystalline cellulose for lightweight cellular structures (NCC-FOAM)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"Cellulose, the primary structural component of plants, is the most ubiquitous and abundant organic compound on the planet. When cellulose fibrils are processed under carefully controlled conditions, it is possible to release highly crystalline nano-particles known as “nano crystalline cellulose (NCC)”. Recently, NCC-FOAM partners have developed a unique technique for self-assembling NCC into high ...

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 ...

EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF AIR AND INSECT BORNE PATHOGENS AND DISEASES IN EUROPEAN BROILER HOUSES (AirPath)
Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
The problem and AirPath solution This project targets a large group of SMEs with a shared need. In Europe there are more than 50,000 broiler breeders who are facing a major problem concerning control of air- and insect-borne pathogens in their broiler houses, which results in high infection rates of the broiler flocks. This is partly caused by insects – especially flies – entering the broiler hous ...

Wireless Sensor Networks for the Protection of Critical Infrastructures (WSAN4CIP)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
The goal of WSAN4CIP is to substantially advance the technology of Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs) beyond the current state of the art and to apply this technology to the Protection of Critical Infrastructures. In particular, the WSAN4CIP project will apply these advanced wireless and sensor network developments to the management of power generation and distribution infrastructure ma ...
