Description du projet
Une solution intelligente et écologique pour se protéger contre la corrosion
La corrosion peut entraîner des pertes financières et avoir des répercussions négatives en termes de sécurité et de santé publique. Il est donc impératif de la contrôler pour des raisons économiques, environnementales et esthétiques. C’est dans ce contexte que le projet COAT4LIFE, financé par l’UE, entend développer des revêtements multifonctionnels écologiques capables de déceler la corrosion et d’offrir une protection grâce à différents mécanismes combinant des capteurs nanostructurés et des additifs inhibiteurs. Les travaux du projet contribueront à l’économie circulaire en améliorant la durabilité des matériaux et en mettant en œuvre des solutions plus écologiques.
Objectif
The need to develop and use products made out of residues or sub-products from industry is creating pressure over fields where more traditional, linear economy concepts prevail. In this project we address one important stage of the life cycle of products, particularly trying to extend its service life, thereby contributing for advances towards circular economy via increase in durability of materials and use of greener materials. In particular, this proposal addresses the problem of protection and monitoring of corrosion of metallic substrates used in different applications. Structured in previous experience with a recently finished MSCA-RISE project SMARCOAT (ref. 645662, 2015-2018), this project aims at developing eco-friendly multifunctional coatings with capacity to protect and detect corrosion based on different mechanisms combining nanostructured inhibiting and sensing additives. Two types of coating systems are intended to be developed, one for temporary protection during storage and transportation based on biodegradable materials and another on thermosetting polymers obtained using raw materials from sustainable sources. A relevant part of this project includes the study of fate and ecotoxicity of different coating components and Life cycle analysis, which will be equaled as a figure of merit with performance factors to select the most promising systems and launch demonstrators for standard and field tests.
