Establishment of networks between Russia and west Europe in six branches of materials science (catalytic materials; materials for nuclear power engineering; nanophase materials; ceramics; optoelectronics and special light alloys)

Objective



Catalytic combustion is one of the most promising and challenging developments for future applications in industry and household appliances. Catalytic combustion is flameless and environmentally pure. No hydrocarbon or CO emissions take place and NOx emissions are practically eliminated at source. It has high fuel efficiency and high safety characteristics.

Low-temperature materials will mostly consist of a combination of base metal oxides and noble metals. La-and Ca- based perovskites, LaBO3, LaCoO3 etc, and barium hexa-aluminata, BaO6Al2O3 will comprise high-temperature combustion materials.

The first stage of the project will consist of physico-chemical studies on the phase and chemical composition of the starting support materials: fibrous ceramic mats, ceramic honeycomb monolith and foam-type porous ceramics. It will be necessary to select support materials complying with the requirements of fuel permeability, mechanical strength and thermal stability against temperature shocks.

The following activities will be undertaken: synthesis of new reports; catalyst development; stability of material of active component; interaction of active component with support material; and sintering and durability of catalytic material.

The project will establish a scientific multidisciplinary society including the best individual researchers and engineers from the Russian Academy of Sciences and other institutions in Russia; create networks of nodes of high scientific and technical capabilities directly connected to west European partners; open up opportunities for further scientific and technological collaboration in the selected areas; strengthen human relationships between eastern and western partners; and open up research management to young scientists and engineers from Russia.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
