Nowadays, coatings with good wear and corrosion resistance consist in high thickness Ni or hard Cr coatings from electrochemical processes

The project involved the development of a nitriding process to work at low pressures, achieving high plasma densities and degree of activation of nitrogen

The increasing demand for sustainable paper-based packaging is driving research towards developing renewable coating materials with high barrier properties against gas, water vapour and odours

The aim of this project is to show how functionality (in particular adhesion and corrosion resistance) of a coated system depends on the interface between coating and substrate

Combining swelling clays with certain types of polymers and plasticisers, to form sustainable coatings, results in a significant increase of barrier properties as well as flexibility and durability

The ability of well-dispersed organomodified clays to enhance the fire retardency of thermoplastic polymers is well established, but thermoset polyester has received relatively little attention

This project is concerned with development of coating systems, steels and tool geometries with particular suitability for the machining of titanium and aluminium based alloys

The objective of this project is to bind sand grains together whilst maintaining formation porosity and fluid flow

PRONACOM was designed to promote integration between complementary scientific communities and encourage more efficient use of resources

Design and development of an innovative eco-efficient low-substrate flexible paper packaging from renewable resources to replace petroleum-based barrier films
