POD Reference RDDE20140618001

A German company working in the field of renewable energy, nanotechnology and automotive technology plans on submitting a proposal under H2020-NMP6 "Novel nanomatrices and nanocapsules". The idea is to develop a nanomaterial similar to PCM material (Phase Changed Material) but with much better characteristics. This emerging material would represent a great compound for energy efficient construction. Partners (especially a coordinator) are sought for various work packages within the project.

Description

The German company aims at developing a new material that would make temperature regulation systems for buildings more sustainable and smarter.

Today PCM is used as a material to keep the temperature constant in a building once the temperature exceeds a special value.

Nowadays, the phase change between liquid and solid of paraffin is used. The liquid state poses a problem though because the material has to be kept in an envelope of plastic. The diameter of the plastic particles is only about 10 um.

The project idea of the company tries to tackle this problem by developing a nanomaterial which has weak chemical bonds in its structure. These chemical bonds open or close once the temperature increases or decreases so that a part of the energy is used to change the bonds and not the temperature.

This material doesn't change its state and can be therefore mixed with concrete or plaster. Thus the emerging material would represent a great material for a smart temperature regulation in buildings.

Technical Specification or Expertise Sought

At this stage a German research institute would join the consortium but more partners are needed to complete a well-balanced consortia.

Partners with the following expertise are sought:

1) theoretical development and practical realization of nanoparticels, examination of the particles characteristics

2) realization of mixture consisting of concrete and the respective nanoparticels

3) examination of the characteristics of the mixtures

Stage of Development Concept stage

Type and Role of Partner Sought

- Type of partner sought:

SME and/or research institute

- Specific area of activity of the partner:

R&D in nanomaterials and technologies, material testing, manufacturing of building materials such as concrete

- Task to be performed by the partner sought:

1) theoretical development and practical realization of nanoparticels, examination of the particles characteristics

2) realization of mixture consisting of concrete and the respective nanoparticels

3) examination of the characteristics of the mixtures

The company/research institute that could envisage a coordinating role should have gained some experiences in managing EU projects.

Type of Partnership Considered Research cooperation agreement
