Topics:

  • Innovative Recycling Technologies: Successful recycling of aramid fibres using supercritical fluids, processed into yarns for tunnel lining
  • Sustainable Composite Manufacturing
    a) Resin transfer moulding (RTM) with frontal photopolymerisation 
    b) Novel microwave curing process
  • Advanced optimisation tools: The Coupled Ecological Optimisation (CEO) tool, a multi-objective optimisation framework for balancing ecological, economic, and structural factors in bio-based composites
  • EcoComposites Cluster launched

Poster presented at theat the 4th International Conference “Circular Economy for Textile and Plastics”, showing, among others, various innovation strategies and outputs regarding valorization of textile waste.

Poster presented at the SAMPE Europe 24 Conference in Belfast under the theme Advanced & Sustainable Composites: A study conducted by project partner AITEX, focusing on adapting textile technologies for processing recycled carbon fibre and other fibers from recycled composites. Challenges include modifying textile processes for manipulate fragile, high conductivity, static electricity, and low flexural resistance fibres. Results include yarns and fabrics from recycled carbon fibre, suitable for new thermoplastic composites. Linear fiber alignment in yarns and fabrics enhances several mechanical properties compared to nonwovens.

r-LightBioCom’s third project newsletter, August 2024.

r-LightBioCom participated at the workshop “Efficient, Lightweight, Sustainable Advanced Materials – Supporting EU industries to meet the Green Deal targets” organized an hosted by the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) on 6th June, 2024. Technical coordinator Eduardo Fages Santana from our project coordinator AITEX represented r-LightBioCom and shared, among others, the project’s innovation strategies to improve properties and reduce environmental impact of high-performance composites.
