Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Flexiramics (HIGHLY FLEXIBLE, HIGHLY THERMAL CONDUCTIING CERAMIC NANOFIBER COMPOSITES FOR PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD APPLICATIONS)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2018-02-01 al 2018-05-31
The Feasibility Study for SME-Instrument Phase 1 aims to determine the feasibility of a pilot plant for continuous Flexiramics production in material-to-roll mode. This will enable EUREKITE to initially reduce risk in scaling the spinning process and will subsequently enable us to produce larger sizes and volumes than those we can currently produce in lab scale. This initial scaling is required to enter into co-development projects with customers who, in turn, will help EUREKITE grow its business. The main objective of EUREKITE is the evolution from concept to mass production.
The main outcome has been the technical design of the process that allow mass production and the functional specification of the pilot plant for the Phase2.
A detailed risk analysis has been conducted for the implementation of the different evaluated technologies. Besides a well-defined technology roadmap has been established.
As the core competency of EUREKITE consists of the development of custom-made flexible ceramic nanofibers, we have analysed main end-users and established different business cases and partnerships for the different possible applications of our solution.
We have also recalculated more accurately the foreseen financial perspectives in the 4 years ahead.
