Compact industrial process for hot stamping of quenchable steels – PRICECAT
In order to reduce the CO2 emission of their cars from currently 130 g/km to 95 g/km before 2020, car makers are looking for new innovative lightening solutions. A wide use of boron quenchable steels is seen as a very attractive one. Thanks to their very high mechanical properties, they offer oppor
Liner Collapse of polymer liner composite hydrogen storage tank : initiation and effect of pressure cycles – colline
The development of hydrogen as a reliable energy vector is strongly connected to the performance and level of safety of the components of the supply chain. In this respect, achieving an efficient storage is crucial to address transition markets and automotive markets. For near term, compressed hydro
Innovative eco-efficient biohydrometallurgy process for the recovery of strategic and rare metals: primary and secondary resources – EcoMetals
France and Germany are heavily dependent on metal imports that play a central role in guaranteeing industrial and economic sustainability. In Europe, most of the primary resources with high or moderate grade of metals, reasonable accessibility and that are easy to process are exhausted. As a consequ
New Cyclocarbonate Building Blocks Reactive at Room Temperature for Environment Friendly Polyurethane Adhesives and Sealants – CYRRENAS
The objective of the CYRRENAS project is the development of new technologies for the production of polyurethane materials (PUs) do not require isocyanate reactive (NIPUs = Non-Isocyanate Polyurethanes). This is a major topic of interest because of the critical importance of PUs in many industrial se
Physical Chemistry process for the synthesis of sustainable marine materials for the littoral preservation – EcoCorail
These ast years, one observe to a considerable increase of the oceanic coastal errosion, due to progressive increase of seawater and violent climate phenomenon. French coast are particularly impacted with the move backwards of sand dune and beachs and also by cliffs erosion for example. Different me
Optimization of functional properties of particulate aerated materials – ProMAP
This project deals with issues related to Foamed Particulate Materials (FPM), encountered as foams produced from granular suspensions, such as cement or plaster pastes for example. Those materials have a high development potential in the context of thermal renovation of buildings. However, their the
Choc Detection by Innovative Reversible Piezochromic COatings for COMPosite Parts – CHOCOCOMP
Because of their very light weight, excellent in-plane properties and high specific strength, Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymers has found many uses in structural applications. Nevertheless they are particularly prone to damage. These low energy shocks can occur during assembly phases in FAL (Final As
Multiscales texturation of polymer surface by laser structuring of the injection moulds: application of this technology to the polymer systems of drug delivery – TOPOINJECTION
The aim of this project is to define an innovative process allowing the texturing of the surface of injected polymer parts on different scales. These processes will be made possible by the deposit of functional coating on the surface of the injection mold. This step will be followed, or preceded, by
Innovation in Materials and PROcedures to create Value from the MUlti-REcycling of Asphalts – IMPROVMURE
The entire French road network (covering some 980,000km) is a potential source of several billion tons of asphalt mix aggregates, the term used in European standards to describe the granular materials derived from the grinding or demolition of bitumen mixes. These asphalt mix aggregates retain poten
Transparent printable thin film heaters made of metallic nanowires for defogging/deicing – FICHTRE
This project aims to develop a new kind of low-cost transparent film heaters for defogging / defrosting devices. The goal is to develop flexible and conformable thin film heaters from silver or copper nanowires, using a large scale printing process. These materials must replace more expensive tradit
Durability of aeronautic parts in Titanium alloy – DUSTI
In order to meet the requirements of economic and ecological performances from airline companies and civil society in general, engine manufacturers propose to resort to more powerful engines showing higher by-pass ratios. This impacts the pylon directly. Indeed, to increase the by-pass ratio implies
innovative RE-use and reCycling VALue Chain for High-Power Magnets – RECVAL-HPM
The project aims at developing new technologies for the re-use and recycling of high-performance permanent neodymium-based magnets. It will address the development of re-use concepts and technical processes for various industrial and consumer products. On the other hand the project will establish a
Interfacial Mechanisms and Inert Anodes Materials for Aluminium Electrolysis – MIMINELA
- - - - The proposal is concerned with the development of ecofriendly molten salt electrolysis process for aluminum production where consumable carbon anodes are replaced by inert anodes. The so called HH process consists in electrochemical reduction of aluminum, using alumina extracted from bauxit
Development of 3rd generation duplex steels for automotive applications – MeMnAl Steels
The main issue is to develop high strength steels allowing a weight reduction over 20% of final parts. The forming of these grades has to be at the same order as the present commercial alloys. The developed steels have also to be easily processed in large quantities with the current industrial tools
