CompositesWrapping up
Bart Vangrimde
Subject 1: Surface preparation and coating
• Challenge: tedious surface preparation of fragile composite
• Low pressure plasma looks promising to avoid manual surface preparation of camera cases for space applications• “we got enough information to go further”

Subject 2: Powder coating composites?
• Solutions for powder coating are in reach, problem is the conductivity of CFRP.
• How to increase the conductivity?• inclusion of nano-particles?• nano-particles commercially available for integration in resins?
• Temperature of powder coating 150-200’C• should not be an issue
• Outgassing when changing coating to be checked…

Subject 3: Composites in sun shields
• What are the benefits of composite design in sun shields?• structural advantages in terms of strength/stiffness• function integration (transparency, integrated lights)• click-in instead of bolting/screwing

Subject 4: Steel as composite reinforcement
• Bekaert suggests using steel fibers for reinforced plastics. • Possibilities to explore:
• electrical conductivity and electromagnetic properties• recycling• processing• impact resistance
• examples for “high weight applications” are small wind turbine blades or golf shafts

carbon
steel fibers are much tougherthan carbon fiber
Open challenges
• Life cycle analysis (LCA) of composite structures• Opportunities for MICA• Production of (metal matrix) composite materials on large
scale, in continuous processes

SmartMaterialsWrapping up
Heidi Van den Rul
Major challenges
• Does this technology works in my application/products?More knowledge about functions• Halochromic effect• Tactile properties• Dilatation depending on temperature• Smart functions for traceabilty of food: packaging RFID
• Integration in the process of the smart coating• application: vacuum – wet cost• E.g. problem with Antifingerprint coating processing• More than the function itself: stability, chemical resistance,
processability, how to test e.g. antibacterial• Supporting innovation
• How to help SME’s to start with nanotech• Governmental financial instruments are available

Fast evolving markets
• Antibacterial coatings are hot!• Applicabilty still under questions
• RFID tags
• Color based smart materials• Thermochromic• Photochromic• Halochromic• mechanochromic

Top 3 lessons learned
26/06/2011© Sirris | www.sirris.be | [email protected] | 15
• Offering of (theoretically) interesting functionality/propertiesis already huge!• Food packaging
• More insights/in depth knowledge required for applicationsof new & advanced materials• Smart• Multifunctional
• Processing

Sustainable MaterialsWrapping up
Stefan Milis
Lesson 1: Success factors needed!
Some success factors for the valorisation of more sustainable materials solutions
• A win-win is created• More functionality • Lower or equal cost• More energy efficiency on the life-time• …
• Clear incentives to innovate towards cleantech• Identify market opportunity over the value chains• The hunting for hunting grounds is a very difficult challenge
26/06/2011© Sirris | www.sirris.be | [email protected] | 17
Lesson 2: Look beyond your Business Model
• From selling products to selling functions• Driver for more sustainable products over the lifetime
• Energy, material, repair, reuse, recycling, ….• Ecodesign!
• Different concepts exist• Leasing• Take back
• No one size fits all solution depending on:• B2B, B2C• Product Lifetime• Material

Lesson 3: Sustainable material selection, a puzzle?
26/06/2011© Sirris | www.sirris.be | [email protected] | 19
• Some tools on sustainability (planet) exist• Ecolizer• Solidworks add-in• LCA• …
• Facilitates evaluation of alternatives, gives no new solutions• No integrated solution towards product and process
• Real challenge is to close the gap between identification of sustainable alternatives and the final application at an acceptable cost
