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

steel fibers are much tougherthan carbon fiber

Page 10: Sirris Materials Day 2010 - Wrap up summary

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

Page 13: Sirris Materials Day 2010 - Wrap up summary

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

Page 14: Sirris Materials Day 2010 - Wrap up summary

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

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

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
