ENVIRONMENTALLY HEALTH AND SAFETY PILOTS:

  • To develop pilots for the production of nano-material enabled improved performance products in industrial environment.
  • Define, design and develop safe by design processes for, most efficient and environmentally friendliest nano-enabled products.
  • To improve existing manufacturing processes and equipment for the control and monitoring the use of nano-enabled products.

 

NANO-REINFORCED THERMOPLASTICS:

  • To obtain B-pillars that fulfill OEM requirements and combine plasmonic colours with anti-scratch and self-healing properties.
  • To reduce the number of painted parts in automotive parts.

 

NANO-TEXTURED SURFACES:

  • Injection moulding insert to produce structures for plasmonic colour.

 

NANO-REINFORCED CASTINGS:

  • To decrease the loss of power due to the friction between rotating and fixed motor parts.
  • To obtain an increase of rotational speed for the hydraulic motor.
  • To simplify the machining process by reducing the need of lapping.

 

NANOSTRUCTURED COATINGS:

  • To increase the wear resistance of metallic components.
