Information

Type
Project
Name
Development and demonstration of durable biobased composites for a marine environment
Name @nl
Ontwikkeling en demonstratie van duurzame biobased composieten voor een mariene omgeving
Acronym
SeaBioComp
Description @en
SeaBioComp develops new, sea-friendly composite materials for the maritime industry: biobased and thermoplastic, with reduced CO2 emissions and reduced ecotoxic impact (microplastics). In time, these can replace the traditionally used fiber-reinforced composites based on oil. The project also establishes analytical protocols to evaluate their long-term robustness and reduced ecological impact on the marine environment.
Description @
SeaBioComp ontwikkelt nieuwe, zeevriendelijke composietmaterialen voor de maritieme industrie: biobased en thermoplastisch, met verminderde CO2-uitstoot en verminderde ecotoxische impact (microplastics). Op termijn kunnen deze de traditioneel gebruikte vezelversterkte composieten op basis van aardolie gaan vervangen. Het project stelt ook analytische protocollen op om hun robuustheid te evalueren op lange termijn, en hun verminderde ecologische impact op het mariene milieu.
Start date
2019-5
End date
2022-8

Sub-projects

PhD Combined impacts of microplastics, from bio-based and petroleum-based polymers, and global warming on the population dynamics of a planktonic community
