plasma technology as enabler for sustainable plastic packaging

only 6 of the plastic packaging produced yearly is recycled a reason for this is that many products demand a barrier effect of their packaging for adequate product protection multimaterial systems or special coatings are often used to meet products barrier requirements yet they fail to meet all industries barrier requirements at once make packaging more expensive and nonrecyclable and make use of pfas which are inevitably spread to the environment ionkraft has developed a proprietary coating system to apply high performing coatings that meet all industries barrier requirements at once while making sustainable barrier plastic packaging lighter fully recyclable and reusable and enabling the use of recyclate in a costeffective mannerthe eic will allow to accelerate the commercialisation of our coating machines we envision 250m sustainable barrier containers produced globally by 2028 making a major contribution to the eu plastic strategy and the circular economy

diffusion in polymer matrices a quantitative mapping between matrix heterogeneity and nongaussian statistics

at the heart of this project is the study of transport phenomena in soft matter systems a field that has seen large and fast development over the last decades due to its fundamental role for many biological industrial and technological applications the combined effort of experimentalists theorists and computational physicists has unveiled recurring deviations from the socalled brownian motion bm the latter dates back to the 19th century and represents the canonical model for the study of diffusion in fluids the two central properties of bm are the linear growth with time of the mean squared displacement and the gaussian distribution of displacements the main motivation behind this project is the fact that more and more studies have proved that nongaussian diffusion appears to be the standard rather than the exception when dealing with disordered soft matter systems analytical and numerical works have demonstrated that nongaussian diffusion emerges due to the presence of different kind of heterogeneities in the systems then this project aims at providing a quantitative description of the spatiotemporal environment heterogeneities leading to nongaussian statistics in soft matter systems more specifically the research will focus on the diffusion of colloidal nanoparticles through polymer matrices at first a detailed study to quantify and characterise the polymer matrix heterogeneities will be carried out then stateoftheart data analysis technique will be employed to provide a full characterisation of the tracers diffusive dynamics in polymer matrices finally a direct mapping will be established between matrix heterogeneity and the emergence of nongaussian statistics in the tracers dynamics by bringing together concepts from polymer physics transport theory and computational physics this project is meant to finally clarify the role of nongaussian diffusion in soft matter systems and beyond
addressing molecular spin qubits by esrstm

the emergence of esrstm has recently opened new perspectives on the coherent manipulation of individual spin qubits however to date esrstm experiments are essentially focused on individual magnetic atoms deposited on mgoag100 the insulating layer of mgo seems to be an essential ingredient to obtain addressable and functional single atom qubits eg to fix the spin along certain directions and enable ways for its manipulation the aim of this project is to go beyond the current restriction of esrstm on individual atomic qubits on mgo layers and expand its usage towards robust qubits in other environments this will be done by using metalloorganic complexes whose organic structure is designed in such a way to play the role of the mgo layer esr will be performed on individual magnetic molecules and their potential as molecular spin qubits in contact with metals will be probed the overall methodology of the project is divided into three main objectives 1 demonstrate esrstm on magnetic molecules 2 demonstrate esrstm on magnetic molecules in direct contact with a metallic substrate and use molecules as magnetic sensors 3 protection of spin coherence by superconductivity the impact of the project goes beyond the purely scientific interest and it extends to the industrial sectors of technology and telecommunications this is because it actually opens the possibility of implementing spintronic devices aimed at storage and manipulation of quantum information in which the individual qubits can be concretely addressed thanks to some type of electrode moreover the coherent control of quantum states is currently under large demand in europe in this regard the highly specialized expertise acquired by the researcher thanks to this project will clearly be an added value in the preparation of his future career in conjunction with its scientific aim qmolesr is designed to train an excellent independent researcher who will develop his research career

lightwind a disruptive drivetrain for ultralight and lower cost wind turbines

the current drivetrain solutions for bottomfixed offshore wind turbines do not necessarily work well for floating wind turbines especially when it comes to increasing the size of the turbines beyond the current state of the art the increasing nacelle weight makes it difficult to develop floating platforms that are both technically and economically viable beyond 15 mw also high repair costs of current drivetrain solutions are making sites far off coast which would be technically viable for floating wind turbines economically unacceptable innovation is needed to develop new solutions for floating wind turbines that can reduce the weight of nacelle and rotor and subsequently also of the supporting structures while maintaining or increasing energy production and decreasing repair coststhis project proposes to develop a disruptive compact and lightweight drivetrain solution that offers significant advantages in terms of mass turbine and repair costs scalability critical materials usage and social and environmental impactsthe lightwind project aims at demonstrating the technical feasibility of the concept and at evaluating the economic social and environmental benefits by comparing it to existing 15 mw turbine reference models additionally the project will demonstrate that these benefits allow the scaling of floating offshore wind turbines to 22 and 30 mw
