Project description
Eco-friendly, sustainable coatings challenge those based on polyfluorinated alkyl substances
Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) are a large group of manufactured chemicals that do not break down easily and can accumulate in the environment, food and human bodies. They are used in many consumer and industrial products including coatings. The EU-funded BIO-SUSHY project will develop innovative repellent organic and hybrid coatings, harnessing bio-based additives for advanced functionalisation as an alternative to PFASs-based coatings. A safe-and-sustainable-by-design strategy will be powered by physics-based and data-driven modelling tools for predicting the repellent properties of coating surfaces and the leaching mechanisms of the materials. A life-cycle assessment will determine the economic and environmental impacts along the value chains of the case studies considered for the validation of the BIO-SUSHY coating materials.
