Eco efficient activation for hyper functional surfaces

Objective

The objective of this IP is to support the less RTD intensive sectors of textile, biomedical and food industries in the development of more sustainable and safer processes through eco-innovation (new products and production systems). Plasmas are studied si nce years, but the main problem faced by this technology is the durability of the treatment. This project involves new plasma processes that are able to bring innovative properties with a lifetime close to the final products' one. This breakthrough will be achieved by developing existing knowledge in plasma processes and functional materials in combination with new plasma systems for nanotechnology. The ACTECO project will : - contribute to the modernisation of the industry and to the adaptation to the new economy, - substantially improve overall quality within the value chain, - minimise waste, use of hazardous substances and resource consumption. In this context, ACTECO addresses the objectives of the 3.4.3.3.1 workprogramme of the call. The objective-driv en approach is mainly focused on new products by reaching hyper functional surfaces in association with the use of new plasma processes. The radical innovation is to provide new tools for an eco-production adapted to traditional sectors. The first phase of the workprogramme is related to Research at laboratory scale on the development and optimisation of the surface modification processes in constant interaction with an Equipment development activity. The second phase is focused on Applied Research by optim ising existing prototypes at pilot scale. The new processes will be then developed through pre-industrial applications comparing the several facilities involved in the project (real devices and real environment). Both phases will be driven and monitored by market and consumer needs analysis, as well as by sustainability targets taking into account the economical, social and environmental impact.'
