3D temperature mapping critical to understanding the nanoworld (ThermoRise)
European ComissionCoordinator
Nanometre-scale devices capable of measuring temperature variations at a molecular level are valuable in both fundamental and applied science. For example, they can quickly measure micromachine overheating or the temperature inside of a cell. Although they hold tremendous promise for many applications, their 2D resolution has been a lim...A Pan-European Solid-State NMR Infrastructure for Chemistry-Enabling Access (PANACEA)
European ComissionPartner
The chemicals industry is one of Europe’s largest manufacturing sectors. Its modernisation relies on the capacity for atomic-level investigation of increasingly complex solid substrates in multifaceted research areas. Advances have been made in the development and use of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscop...Computational materials sciences for efficient water splitting with nanocrystals from abundant elements (COST Action 18234)
European ComissionPartner
Modern society in Europe needs a source of energy that is generated without harming the environment. The efficiency of renewable energy converting devices such as water splitting with electrochemical cells based on nano-scaled oxides relies on a sensible choice of material components. However, larger scale material a...Development and design of novel multiFUNctional PEO COATings (FUNCOAT)
European ComissionPartner
The main objective of the proposal is the development of multi-purpose, multi-functional surfaces via environmentally friendly plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) treatments. In an intelligent way the weakness of the PEO process (the inherent porosity due to the discharges forming the coating is often responsible for poor properties) is...Development of new methodologies for industrial CO2-free steel production by electrowinning (SIDERWIN)
European ComissionPartner
For the time being, there are no economically feasible steelmaking technologies available having the potential to meet the EU’s climate and energy targets for 2030. At best, a 15% decrease in the overall CO2 intensity of the sector could be achieved throughout the widespread dissemination of technologies that could reasonably ...Eco-friendly corrosion protective coatings based on smart nanotechnology platforms for a circular economy (COAT4LIFE)
European ComissionCoordinator
Corrosion can lead to financial losses in addition to having a negative effect on public health and safety. This is why its control is imperative economically, environmentally as well as aesthetically. Adding to this field, the EU-funded COAT4LIFE project aims to develop eco-friendly multifunctional coatings that have the ability to det...Eggshell: a potential raw material for CEramic wall tiles (LIFE EggshellenCE)
European ComissionPartner
LIFE EggshellenCE mains to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of using eggshells, as secondary raw material, in the production of ceramic wall tiles. The success of the project will incur in economic benefits, for both the egg transformation and the ceramic industry, and environmental benefits as it will contribute to th...Engineered Conductive Proteins for Bioelectronics (E-PROT)
European ComissionPartner
Proteins demonstrate exceptional structural and electrical conduction properties for designing functional materials. The goal of the EU-funded e-Prot project is to rationally design efficient conductive protein systems and produce protein-based conductive structures and materials. This breakthrough relies on a multidisciplinary scientif...European network of FURan based chemicals and materials FOR a Sustainable development (FUR4Sustain)
European ComissionCoordinator
Modern society relies on a huge quantity of polymeric materials. However, today, these materials are still almost exclusively based on fossil-resources and evolution to a more sustainable model of development is required. In this perspective, biomass and, in particular carbohydrates from, for example, low value b...Full human-based multi-scale constructs with jammed regenerative pockets for bone engineering. (REBORN)
European ComissionCoordinator
Engineered bone tissue has many advantages over natural bone grafts, including safety and limitless supply. However, current engineering methods cannot generate large vascularised grafts capable of in vivo integration and remodelling. To address this problem, the EU-funded REBORN project proposes to combine biomaterials based on protein...Green chemicals and technologies for the wood-to-textile value chain. (GRETE)
European ComissionPartner
The GRETE project will tackle the challenges caused by increased global demand for sustainable textile fibres by offering new breakthroughs in the wood-to-textile value chain. The substitution of cotton by man-made cellulose fibres is also necessary because of sustainability issues. Currently the raw material base for the production of man-made ...Human Platelet Lysates-based Scaffolds for Interfacial Multi-tissue Repair (INTERLYNK)
European ComissionCoordinator
InterLynk aims to develop multi-tissue 3D patient-specific scaffolds by providing a portfolio of highly compatible and biofunctional composite inks and biomaterials, and streamlining their co-processing using an upgraded AM equipment. Unprecedented biofunctionality in the synthetic reconstruction of complex interfacial tissues is expected to be ...Luminescent Metal Organic Frameworks for anti-counterfeiting and logic computing (LUMIMOF)
European ComissionCoordinator
Data security and protection is a global key concern, challenging industry, governments and customers. The EU-funded LUMIMOF project aims to develop ground-breaking luminescent metal–organic frameworks at the nanometer level to be used in anti-counterfeiting applications and in logic computing gates, able to be tailored to a variety of existing ...Mediated Biphasic Battery (MeBattery)
European ComissionPartner
The need for decarbonization is more pressing than ever as global warming continues to have a profound impact on the world's climate. Increasing demand for high-performing and sustainable batteries for applications such as clean energy storage, e-mobility, portable electronics and smart cities is driving research and development gl...Molecular design of electrically conductive COFs as efficient electrodes for lithium batteries (ELECTROCOFS)
