Open Access Single entry point for scale-up of Innovative Smart lightweight composite materials and components

Project description

Boosting commercialisation of lightweight composite materials

The EU-funded OASIS project aims to further develop the market potential of nano-enabled multifunctional lightweight composites, particularly of polymer matrix and aluminium composites. To that end, it has enlisted the manufacturing capacity of 12 pilot lines for the industrial production of nanoscale structures in unprocessed form, intermediate products with nanoscale features and nano-enabled products. Moreover, it provides complementary technical (modelling, characterisation, toxicology, life cycle assessment) and non-technical (business innovation coaching and planning, access to private capital) services. These modular services will be provided especially to small- and medium-sized enterprises in order for them to gain access to facilities and knowledge without high capital investment.

Objective

The OASIS project aims at fulfilling market potential of nano-enabled multifunctional lightweight composites, particularly of polymer-matrix and aluminium composites. The OASIS gathers manufacturing capacity of 12 pilot lines for the industrial production of nanoscale structures in unprocessed form, intermediate products with nanoscale features and nano-enabled products as well as other complementary technical (modeling, characterization, toxicology, life cycle assessment) and non-technical services (Business innovation coaching, business planning, access to private capital). These modular services will be provided to companies, particularly to SMEs, to gain access to unique facilities and knowledge without high capital investment. Such support is particularly needed at the crossroads between three KETs (nanotechnologies, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing and processes) and in era of multifunctional products when wide scope of know-how is needed for pre-production or industrial low-medium volume production.

The companies will access these wide offering infrastructures by a single-entry point, which will ensure quality customer relationship and management from request formalization to delivery.

The multi-pilot line manufacturing capacity of OASIS will be validated by 6 industrial showcases, where lightweight products (TRL6-7) ensure significant impact in construction, automotive, energy and aeronautic industries. The complete OASIS services to SMEs will be demonstrated by 6-12 democases, which will be selected from identified and potential clients by an open call, to ensure highest possible impact. The OASIS will set up economically sustainable open innovation structure, leveraging the previous investments for the full benefit of European companies introducing new added-value products based on nanotechnologies

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
