Marie Curie Initial Training Network for the tailored supply-chain development of the mechanical and electrical properties of CNT-filled composites (CONTACT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"The EU is currently directing intensive research efforts into nanotechnology. Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs), with the electrical conductivity of copper and an E-modulus 10 times greater than steel, are one of the most promising developments, enabling the creation of materials with revolutionary characteristics. The commercial potential is huge, but only a fraction of the possible applications have reac ...

MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES COMBINED WITH SUBMICRONIC BUBBLES AND DYE FOR ONCOLOGING IMAGING (NANOMAGDYE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,

The objective of NANOMAGDYE consists in developing tailored biocompatible magneto-optical nanosystems based on magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. The project will comprise the elaboration of the nanosystems and the characterisation of their structural, optical and magnetic properties. In vitro and in vivo tests will be carried out to test their biocompatibility. The combination of magnetic and opt ...

All-inorganic nano-rod based thin-film solarcells on glass (ROD-SOL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"Thin film solar cells, based on non-toxic, abundant and air-stable silicon (Si) will probably, based on forecasts, dominate the photovoltaic market in the future and thus replace bulk Si from its leading position. This prognosis is fostered by the strong cost reduction potential due to highly effective materials utilization at low energy consumption. However, thin film Si suffers from inherently ...

Corrosion protection with perfect atomic layers (CORRAL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

The aim of this project is to develop high density defect-free ultra-thin sealing coatings with excellent barrier properties and improved corrosion resistance. Their successful functioning will be provided by the synergy of the coating “perfect” morphology and its complex structural design, which can be tailored at the nanoscale. The study will be focused on development of novel nanostructured coa ...

Large grained, low stress multi-crystalline silicon thin film solar cells on glass by a novel combined diode laser and solid phase crystallization process (HIGH-EF)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

HIGH-EF will provide the silicon thin film photovoltaic (PV) industry with a unique process allowing for high solar cell efficiencies (potential for >10%) by large, low defective grains and low stress levels in the material at competitive production costs. This process is based on a combination of melt-mediated crystallization of an amorphous silicon (a-Si) seed layer (2 µm) of the seed layer by a ...
