R&D - Project

Biocoma Ongoing

Systemic bio-based coating and paint solutions for building materials in exterior applications

The BIOCOMA project aims to develop bio-based, non-toxic paints for external applications in the construction sector, as an alternative to current fossil-based formulations.

PlastFlow Ongoing

PFAS-free additives for use as processing aids and to enhance tribological properties

PlastFlow develops plastic formulations using existing and newly developed additives to replace PFAS, thereby improving tribological properties and processing aids.

PaperForm Ongoing

Optimized paper and tools solutions for (Vertical) Form Fill and Seal packaging process

Optimization of tools and properties of fibrous materials, including the development of bio-based coatings, to improve their compatibility with VFFS processes.

FUNBIOMAT Ongoing

Highly dispersible functionalized biobased fibers for advanced biopolyester materials

Development of innovative methods to optimize the distribution of bio-based additives made of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) in biopolyesters.

RECYBER Completed

Advanced circular rubber

Develop an advanced circular rubber material with a reduced carbon footprint and improved end-of-life recyclability through the use of bio-based raw materials.

HEMICOAT Ongoing

Conversion of Hemicelluloses into Coatings

Valorization of hemicelluloses from lignocellulosic biomass through extraction and fermentation for the production of bio-based compounds used in the manufacture of coatings, adhesives, and surfactants.

DAF3D Completed

Antibacterial textiles and 3D filters for process water treatment.

The DAF3D project aims to develop and validate an antimicrobial filter combining functionalized textiles and 3D-printed supports for the treatment of process water at a demonstration scale.

AOPTi Completed

Photocatalytic Oxidation to Remove Micropollutants from Urban and Industrial Wastewater

Evaluation of the Advanced Photocatalytic Oxidation Process for Micropollutant Removal in Municipal and Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plants

BACZEREAU Completed

Innovative and energy-efficient disinfection for natural bathing areas.

The BACZEREAU project validates a UVA-Visible photocatalytic reactor to effectively disinfect wastewater by destroying pathogens via their cell wall rather than their DNA.

NITRASORP Completed

Textile-based absorbents for the removal of nitrates from drinking water.

Development of a surface-modified textile filter for the adsorption of nitrates from drinking water.
