Abstract:
The aim of the project is to obtain and to demonstrate the functionality of an innovative conductive composite material having a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect, recently developed as an optimized experimental model within the ICPE-CA and the exploitation of the results obtained so far by developing a model with direct practical applicability, with the prospect of being introduced into manufacture, namely a heating cable with self-regulating temperature properties. The key element of the proposed cable is the mentioned conductive composite material that produces heat through the Joule effect and is able to self-regulate its temperature by electric percolation-depercolation effects at a certain temperature specific to the respective material. Such a cable can be integrated into interior (floor) or exterior (paving, roof) construction elements to ensure a certain constant ambient temperature of the house and to prevent the formation of ice, respectively. Therefore, within the project it is proposed the experimental realization, based on a laboratory technology, of a heating cable model with self-regulating temperature effect and testing of its functional characteristics. The results will be useful for demonstrating the functionality of the model and will allow the transition to a higher stage in results exploitation by their transfer to a manufacturer.

Abstract:
With the accelerated progress of science and technology from the last decades, more and more electrical equipments and information systems have been used in different domains. However, such equipments and systems cause electromagnetic radiation that is harmful to the health and affects the normal working of electronic equipments, through interferences. The idea of the proposed project occurs as answer to the necessity to identify and develop new composite structures that allow the reduction, by absorption, of the radiation level and improve the operating, by eliminating interference. The microwave absorbing materials plays an increasing significant role in national defence security, health, electronics reliability.
It is well known that the incidence of professional diseases in the case of the personnel operating near the powerful radars is highly increased, hence the need to identify and develop highly efficient microwave absorbing materials, especially for the specific radar radiations, around the frequency of 3 GHz.
The project aims and proposes to design (TRL 2), develop (TRL 3) and validate at the laboratory scale (TRL 4) a demonstration model of hybrid structures, based on ferromagnetic grafted graphene derivatives, produced by chemical synthesis, with the aim to be used as microwave absorbers.
The project aims also, at the end of proposed activities, to develop in the future projects these hybrid structures, up to higher TRLs, and to set-up a technology for production of these new functional mats, adequate for a future technological transfer to the industrial partner, ROSEAL company.

Abstract:
Reducing electromagnetic interference over a broad band of radio frequencies is crucial to eliminate the adverse effects of the increasingly complex electromagnetic environment. Current shielding materials or methods suffer from tradeoffs between optical transmittance and EMI shielding capability. Moreover, poor mechanical flexibility and manufacturing complexity significantly limit their additional applications in flexible electronic devices. In this project a technology will be developed to manufacture transparent conductive thin layer structures with thicknesses of max. 600 nm, with a surface resistance of max. 100 ohms / square for a shielding efficiency of at least 25 dB and for anti-static effect with a surface resistance of maximum 1000 ohms / square, on flexible and rigid transverse substrates for transmissions in visible of at least 80%. Transparent EMI shielding components will be made and tested. The thin layers of electromagnetic protection will be made in the form of a suitable design (eg conductive-dielectric-metal-dielectric) to improve the electro-optical compromises, to obtain a transmittance in the visible spectrum of at least 80% in relation to the substrate and an excellent efficiency. of shielding effect (SE-shielding effectivnes)> 25 dB, over a broadband bandwidth of up to 30 GHz, covering all bands X, Ku, Ka and K. An efficiency of EMI shielding> 30 dB is estimated to be achieved by the overlap of at least two transparent conductive thin layers and could be further improved up to 50 dB by separating two layers with a quarter-wavelength space. High-performance flexible or rigid substrate thin-layer structures have high potential for various applications such as: portable electronics, medical devices and electronic safety zones.

Abstract:
The large concern of global energy challenges has greatly increased the interest and investments in renewable and clean energy that can replace fossil fuel. Among all known systems to generate energy, solar power is the most promising one. Hence, no one doubts the important role that photovoltaics (PV) are going to play in the energy of the future. The main drawbacks of the current PV technologies are their high production cost and rigid structure in the case of traditional silicon and inorganic semiconductors, or their reduced efficiency and durability in the case of organic and DSSC photovoltaics. One of the bottlenecks of increasing the conversion efficiency in DSSC is the transport of photogenerated electrons. The general approach to surpass these limitations is employing one of the following strategies: doping, growing vertically oriented porous structures on top of the conducting substrate, interconnecting TiO2 nanoparticles with charge carriers to direct the photogenerated current or find alternative materials with higher electronic mobility. Due to the richness of its optical and electronic properties, 3D graphene is the material of choice for our proposed studies. The ability to develop free-standing 3D graphene structures with large specific surface area will enable the successful realization of fast transport channels of charge carriers, thus leading to high electrical conductivity. Moreover, by combining their good electrical conductivity with their porous structure, the 3D graphene structures will increase the photocurrent density of DSSC by enhancing light absorption (sensitizer loading), enabling efficient charge separation and light scattering. In this context, the general objective of the project is: to evaluate the functionality of the 3D graphene structures in optoelectronic devices, specifically in photovoltaic cells (DSSC).

Abstract:
The project aims to develop novel products and knowledge in antimicrobial nanostructured coatings for medical applications like critical surgical instruments (scalpels, knives, forceps and scissors) to reduce superficial and deep surgical site infections and to improve quality of life. Nanostructured materials of MeNPs/MeONPs type (MeNPs = Ag, Cu, MeONPs = CaO, MgO, ZnO, TiO2) with average MeNPs size of 10-20 nm and average MeONPs size of 30-50 nm) and high antimicrobial activity will be obtained by an innovative chemical synthesis of colloidal suspensions containing ecological NPs with 0.1-0.5 wt.% MeNPs and 1-3 wt.% MeONPs. Chemical deposition of MeNPs on MeONPs supports will be realized by a self-assembled nanolayers coating process, being a new and efficient approach in control of NPs size and stability. A higher content of MeNPs will be obtained in comparison with the existent solutions. The MeNPs and MeONPs mixtures will show synergistic effects of antimicrobial properties compared with those of MeNPs and MeONPs used alone. Ecological and efficient processing methods will be used to obtain and deposit the bioactive agents designed to inhibit the adhesion of microorganisms on stainless steel supports that show lack of antibacterial properties. The MeNPs/MeONPs composite powders will be deposited by different methods such as Thermal Evaporation, EBPVD (e-gun), Sputtering Deposition (Magnetron) and Arc-PVD (Plasmotron) on the metallic substrates with ensuring a good adhesion without changing the substrates original properties. Nanostructured coatings with homogenous and dense surface without any faults (pinholes and cracks) will be achieved at low temperatures to not affect the materials properties. Optimized coatings will be developed by a graded structure and adjusting stress level. Other original and innovative aspect is related by sputtering targets development from selected nanostructured materials by spark plasma sintering (SPS) process, where nanostructure features are maintained since grain growth and the development of equilibrium states are suppressed. The project addresses to the priority thematic of the PARTNERSHIPS PN-II-PT-PCCA-2013-4 program, Domain 7. “Materials, processes and innovative products“, Research field 7.1 Advanced materials, Thematic Area 7.1.6. “Advanced materials and biomaterials for health quality increasing“ with a direct impact in Domain 4. “Health” and European Research Area (ERA)-Nanomaterials. The project has inter-disciplinary, multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary nature being carried out by high skilled specialists with complementary expertise. Certified prototypes and end-products of critical stainless steel surgical instruments coated with antimicrobial MeNPs/MeONPs nanostructured materials with uniform and homogeneous mono/multilayer with thickness ranging 0.1-50 µm will be obtained. The coatings will have high resistance to mechanical wear, high resistance to heat stresses, high hardness, low friction coefficient and good adhesion to substrate. The novel products will be introduced on the market only after their certification granted by the Health Ministry from Romania. The coated products will be at a competitive cost with uncoated ones, contributing to the requests of the global and national socio-economic environment in the field of advanced materials and health with a major impact in reducing surgical site infections. Knowledge protection will be made by two patent applications registered to the national State Office for Inventions and Trademarks (OSIM). Results dissemination will be made on a large scale by publishing scientific papers in ISI ranked journals, attendance at national and international events, setting up and updating project web site, elaboration of dissemination materials.

Abstract:
An important role in sustainable development and energy efficiency of buildings have building materials. European directives related strategies include building energy efficiency, durability and functionality of the materials used in residential and industrial buildings.
The use and development of new construction materials aims to improve the energy efficiency of buildings and at the same time, producing environmental and life quality improvements. The choice of materials for use in masonry and plaster work, is done according to the structure of the building, heating needs, the condition of buildings, the quality of the construction materials.
Building insulation is very important in reducing energy losses in noise reduction and at the same time to achieve a thermal and aesthetics comfort.
In this context, it is proposed the development of mortar systems based composite microspheres used in masonry and development of composite materials with microspheres (plaster) used in the building envelope and protection. These materials will provide high thermoinsulation by the heat reflecting properties, simultaneously with a good sound insulation of building. This will make composite mortar materials for plastering containing added inorganic mircosfere with micro-and nanostructured cavity closed and vacuumed pores (to provide enhanced thermal insulation by "thermos" effect and sound vibrations reduction).
Composite materials systems will have the following properties: low thermal conductivity (at least 10 times less than the usual materials known), a high resistance to ultraviolet and infrared radiations as well as sound absorbing.
To achieve the main objectives, the project will focus on two lines of research:
- development of inorganic hollow micro and nanospheres with closed and vacuumed pores (to provide enhanced thermal insulation by "thermos" effect) which generates multiple materials physicochemical properties: having a low thermal conductivity (0.1-0.5 W/m/oK) reduces energy transfer, reduces (35-85% UV) action and protects against sound vibrations;
- achieving masonry mortars and plastering mortar containing added inorganic microspheres and nanospheres used in building envelope to improve indoor microclimate and reduce energy consumption.
For achieving and testing innovative proposed materials provides:
- selection, synthesis and complex characterization of materials used for the microspheres and composite systems mortars and plasters;
- establishment and characterization of the addition of microspheres and nanospheres with thermo insulating role cavity;
- establishing the structure/composition of the composite systems to ensure appropriate set of properties;
- development of protecting composite mortars and plasters and their characterization (compressive strength, adherence to the substrate, the thermal conductivity, the absorbing character for the sound radiation);
All of the above are expected to be achieved by the experimental model, functional model, the development of technical specifications for each material made.
It also, dissemination of the results by publishing the articles in professional journals and attending scientific meetings.
