Description du projet
Préparer un avenir durable pour les composites thermodurcissables
Le projet VIBES, financé par l’UE, travaille sur une nouvelle technologie rentable pour casser les composites thermodurcissables et récupérer les composants utiles lorsqu’ils arrivent en fin de vie. Cette approche innovante impliquera l’utilisation de matériaux de liaison biosourcés, soit des fragments chimiques qui se décomposent sous des stimuli externes spécifiques, permettant la séparation entre la matrice et le matériau de renforcement. VIBES combinera différentes approches chimiques, telles que la réaction de Diels-Alder et la chimie supramoléculaire, pour obtenir des matériaux de liaison biosourcés. Cette nouvelle technologie pourrait contribuer à réduire de 40 % la quantité de polymères non biodégradables destinés à être éliminés ou rejetés dans l’environnement.
Objectif
VIBES project presents an innovative solution to resolve the end-of-life issues of thermoset composites based on the development of a new green technology focused on the controlled separation and recovery of composite material components by means of developing customised biobased bonding materials (BBM). BBM are biobased chemical moieties that will decompose under specific external stimuli (temperature, UV or electrical pulse) allowing the separation between the matrix and the reinforcing material, and facilitating the dissociation of the polymer chains of the resins to favour their efficient processing and recycling through a green washing bath, recovering the monomers/oligomers and fibres for their upcycling into new products. VIBES will study and combine three different chemical approaches to obtain BBM: vitrimers, Diels-Alder, and supramolecular architectures.
VIBES project will directly contribute to achieve SIRA’s objectives in KPI1, KPI2, KPI5 and KPI8 and to demonstrate the solution decreasing the amount of non-biodegradable polymers sent to disposal or discharged to the environment by at least 40%. VIBES consortium involves 13 partners (industrially driven): 4 RTD (AITIIP, LEITAT, ULIM and DITF), 7 SME (SP, BCIRC, F&D, ARCHA, Q-PLAN, IDEC and JUNO), 1 Large Companies (ACC), and 1 OTHER (PLATA) accounting to 3 BIC associated (AITIIP, LEITAT, and ULIM). The proposed 48-months will comprise a total estimated budget of 5,299,800 €; being the 20.3% covered by consortium own contribution (in-kinds) and adding 524,311€ in additional investments during the project implementation and 9,385,000€ envisaged to upgrade TRL after the end of the project. Benefits will be significant in terms of companies growth (23.2%), increasing jobs (37 direct, 1800 indirect) and turnover (124M€) by promoting at least 2 new sector interconnections in the new created “Intrinsic Recyclable Thermoset Composites Value Chain”
