Descrizione del progetto

Materiali sfusi innovativi per guidare il settore dei trasporti

Le vecchie industrie europee dei trasporti stanno attraversando una fase di transizione verso modalità più intelligenti grazie alla digitalizzazione. Tuttavia, nonostante questa modernizzazione, sono necessarie ulteriori innovazioni per garantire che tali industrie riescano a funzionare in modo sempre efficiente. Il progetto MASTRO, finanziato dall’UE, mira a sviluppare materiali sfusi intelligenti progettati specificamente per il settore dei trasporti. Questi materiali possono essere utilizzati efficientemente per vari scopi, contribuendo alla manutenzione e al miglioramento dei componenti. Incorporando tecnologie di ultima generazione come le capacità autonome di rilevamento, protezione, rigenerazione, sghiacciamento e polimerizzazione, questi materiali miglioreranno l’efficienza e la durata dei componenti, riducendo al contempo i costi di produzione e manutenzione.

Obiettivo

MASTRO Project aim is to develop intelligent bulk materials for the transport sector based on the novel concepts like self-sensing, self-deicing, self-curing, self-healing and self-protection methodologies to increase consumer safety, component life-span and performance while reducing maintenance and manufacturing costs. The functionality of the developed components will be demonstrated under relevant conditions at prototype level for the aerospace, automotive and transport transport networks. These developments will be supported by theoretical material models to capture the self-responsive functionalities. The outputs of the Project will consist of numerous applications in these sectors.
The matrices addressed consist of lightweight polymer composites like glass/carbon fibre reinforced polymers and thermoplastic materials (including melt-spinning for textiles used in the transport sector) together with asphalt and concrete formulations incorporating electrical carbon-based conductive nanomaterials. These self-responsive functionalities are based on two physical phenomena: piezoresistivity and Joule effect. The aim of self-responsiveness properties can be summarized as follows:
Self-sensing: to confer to the intelligent components the ability to monitor/store data about its own condition in terms of vibrations, defects, fatigue, creep and strain.
Self-deicing: to avoid the ice layer formation or the loss of performance due to cold weather.
Self-curing: to increase quality and durability while reducing manufacturing cost of the polymer composites and cement concrete formulations by improving the curing process step.
Self-healing: to aid the repair of polymer composites and asphalt concrete formulations by healing those materials without the need of an external and expensive maintenance operation.
Self-protection: to minimize the failure occurrence in case of electrostatic charge accumulation or lightning impacts by discharging the voltage through the smart component
