Abstract:
This proposal corresponds to the new European vision for R & D and innovation as outlined in the Horizon 2020 and with the future strategies and actions to contribute to research institutes / universities in the development of advanced materials and/or in advanced manufacturing processes. Modern trends in the field of multiphase composite development aim to use natural constituents, both the fiber and the matrix, and combinations of such constituents of natural and/or synthetic resin matrix reinforced in natural or synthetic polymers.
In this project proposal, the research team aims to achieve various architecture multiphase composites with natural polymer matrix, 3D printed, which have sound-absorbing properties, supplemented by an economic criterion aimed at minimizing material / production costs.
Through this research project, the team aims to develop innovative architectural models for the execution of sound-absorbing panels, through a new approach to the generally known aspects in the field of polymeric composite materials.
In the second phase it is desired to obtain sound-absorbing panels from composite materials such as beeswax - recycled cellulose - Equisetum arvense, cast in profiled molds obtained by 3D printing.

Abstract:
Binary oxynitride-type compounds (Me1Me2OxNy) have received significant attention in recent years due to their original properties compared to their oxide or nitride parents. The project’s intention is to study the chemical, structural, morphological and, consequently, property variation concerning transitional metal-based multiple component oxynitride-type thin films (where Me1, Me2 = Ti, Ta, Zr), obtained by simultaneous sputtering of two metallic targets, with the addition in various proportions of reactive gases (N2 and O2). Novel multifunctional transitional metal binary oxynitride-type thin films will deliver enhanced performance and enhanced cost/benefit ratio for certain applications: protective coatings, microelectronic devices, optical coatings, biocompatible coatings.

Abstract:
This project aims to develop new types of composite materials by exploiting both the polyolefin fraction from household wastes, construction and automotive industries, as well as waste marble powder (calcite) from the extractive and construction industry. The optimization of the obtained composite materials properties is targeted by varying the obtaining process parameters and by testing new ecologic dispersants and compatibilizers such as ionic liquids with alkylphosphonium, pyridinium, imidazolium and alkylammonium cations. Some new application areas for the obtained composites are proposed, in order to increase the value of these materials by comparing to the individual recycling of the secondary raw materials used.
