3D C/SiC
3D Pre-Form Reinforced Ceramic Composite Material
Coordinator: | Fureho AB (Sweden) |
Partner: | ECM Engineered Ceramic Materials GmbH (Germany) |
Material: | Light Metal Alloys |
Challange: | 7 |
Partners jointly propose developing an innovative lightweight composite material comprising a 3D pre-form reinforcement of Pitch carbon fibres and silicon carbide ceramic matrix material, henceforth called 3D C/SiC. It will be uniquely advantageous as it will have high delamination resistance and damage tolerance due to through-thickness direction fibres while being heat conducting, vibration damping, and up to ~30% lighter than conventional materials. A variety of optimised, robust, and precise components can be made near-net shape or machined directly from a block or plate of 3D C/SiC
relatively quickly, easily, and cost-effectively for small satellites, drones etc. 3D C/SiC will also benefit as
a non-metallic heat conductor for space electronics applications. Shared gains for project constellation include the development of a novel material for the identified market case.

QUdTapeCo
Quality UD Tape Control
Coordinator: | Canonical Robots S.L. (Spain) |
Partner: | NANOSENS İleri Teknolojiler Enerji Makine Proje Ta (Turkey) |
Material: | Polymer-based composites |
Challange: | 3 |
The goal is to create a prototype for UD tape quality that is able to detect deviations in tape thickness and gaps. Our system is an optical layout that uses the shadow generated by the fibers to analyze its distribution over the width of the tape. The spread fibers are guided between a lighting system and a camera system so that the shading from the fibers generates a gray scale. The with is separated into several sectors and a gray value analysis is made. We obtain a gray distribution that shows the shading of the fiber over the width of the tape.
ISMALL

Challange: | 5 |
SMALL aims at designing and prototyping a landing gear in composite materials for ultralight (UL) helicopter and more generally to other helicopters or VTOL aircraft. The choice of these materials and the proposed design are guided by two objectives:
- Mass reduction of the structural part.
- Damping of vibrations and chocs. Composite material allows design flexibility for damping and intrinsic damping capacity that metallic materials do not have.

Partner: | CHEMICAL BUILDING PROJECT S.L. (Spain) GATIM S.R.L (Italy) |
Material: | Ceramic Matrix Composites |
Challange: | 25 |
Using industry residues as insulation materials (such as wood or tyres) is emerging as a promising approach in combination with conventional materials, creating new kinds of composite materials to use in building envelope applications. These kinds of composite can improve the energy efficiency of the building and they are an alternative to fulfilling the sustainable strategy in Europe. This project consists of upscaling our previous technology developed in Mortars for External Thermal Insulation Building Systems. For this challenge, End LifeTyres (ELT) residues will be used to ensure lightweight characteristics in combination with auto-healing materials which will provide the hermiticity of the building envelope and common material used in mortars. The project will be carried out by a consortium formed by GATIM S.R.L (Italy), CHEMICAL BUILDING PROJECT S.L. (Spain) and TESELA, Materials Innovation and Heritage S.L. (Spain).

The aim of the project is to provide the market with a standard product that facilitates and stimulates the transition to electrification of vehicles thanks to the reduction of costs and the introduction of technologies to increase the safety of battery packs for electric vehicles.
Our solution involves the creation of a single element named Module which can be assembled mechanically, electrically and thermally to form a customizable battery pack for the OEM sector: automotive, public transportation, marine, and construction.
One of our key points is the manufacture of the GFRP battery case. This allows to increase the specific energy density of the battery pack thanks to its lightness and will increase safety thanks to the electrical and thermal insulation properties.

PACK-ALL-BLACK
Prepreg carbon composite solution using immersion cooling for lightweight and high-performance pack
Coordinator: | CANOE (France) |
Partner: | E-MERSIV (France) |
Material: | Polymer-based composites |
Challange: | 17 |
The PACK-ALL-BLACK battery pack product is based onto a single housing design for small and medium series (more cost-effective, more flexible, and faster to implement). There are some existing competing solutions but none of them can provide a prepreg carbon-fiber composite solution for lightweight and high-performance battery pack. From a commercial strategy point of view, PACK-ALL-BLACK is a unique selling point resulting from the close collaboration between E-MERSIV and CANOE. The PACK-ALL-BLACK battery pack product will address a large range of vehicles such as construction equipment, material handling equipment, special machines.but can also be suitable for other automotive and stationary (worksite mobile charging station) applications.
