Innovative sensor-based processing technology of nanostructured multifunctional hybrids and composites

Objective

The main aim of this IP proposal is to develop innovative factory of the future integrating technologies for the preparation of advanced specialty materials based on industrially important new polymer hybrids and nanocomposites whereby the synthesis and modification of the inorganic phase is achieved through the use of precursors that are to be made easily dispersible in the organic polymer matrix.

The objective-driven approach is the in-process tailoring of materials with successive validation of the app roach through on-line characterisation of the process, characteristics and targeted performance of the newly produced nanomaterials.

This IP will produce new applicable knowledge to support the transformation industry through the following technological breakthroughs:
- Developing methodology for sensor based in-line monitoring and control of processing of new multifunctional nanomaterials based on organic polymers and nanofillers.
- In-extruder (in-situ during processing) synthesis and functionalisation of nanofillers and hybrids.
- In-situ grafting of nanofillers in flowing polymer melts and in-process analysis of the influence of compatibilising agents and processing parameters on dispersion and distribution of nanoparticles
- Validation of robustness (consistency and reliability) and the successful application of the process to the production of useful nanomaterials through on-line characterization of the processing methodology and off-line examination of the characteristic and targeted performance properties of the new nanomaterial products.

An IP was chosen as the most appropriate form for these S&T developments because of the need of multidisciplinary expertise in different fields (nanomaterials, processing and manufacturing). It will be structured on 3 levels, i.e. 'fundamental research', 'development & transfer of technology' and 'industrial application'.
