Abstract:

Wave energy has a great potential as renewable source of electricity. Studies have demonstrated that significant percentage of world electricity could be produced by Wave Energy Converters (WECs). However electricity generation from waves still lacks of spreading because the combination of harsh environment and form of energy makes the technical development of cost effective WECs particularly difficult.

PolyWEC introduces a new class of Polymeric WECs (PolyWECs), characterised by the employment of Dielectric Elastomer (DE) transducers.

The goal is to introduce a radical change in the traditional architecture of WECs that usually includes three basic components: mechanical wave absorbers, a mechanical transmission and a power take-off system. Due to their nature, PolyWECs can be conceived in a way that such three components are integrated into a single deformable lightweight and low-cost polymeric element. DEs have been largely investigated in the form of actuators for robotics and ICT applications. Preliminary studies on energy generation through DEs demonstrated their great potential in terms of cost effectiveness, efficiency and reduced complexity. Due to their intrinsic low mass, flexibility and resilience, as well as their capacitive nature and high voltage operation, DE technology perfectly matches the requirements of WECs.

Abstract:

Starting from the incompatibility of polysiloxanes with most of the organic polymers, the project aims to increase the knowledge on tailoring the biphasic morphology in siloxane-containing systems, in order to obtain nanostructured materials with special properties and potential top-field applications. We will try to bring new insights into the structure-morphology – properties relationships of siloxane-containing multifunctional materials. New organo-siloxane systems (copolymers, polymer blends, polymer-dispersed systems) will be obtained and studied to observe nano-organization in solid state, in melt or in solution and to understand the influence of the biphasic morphology over bulk and surface properties. The synthesis of siloxane-containing copolymers with various architectures will be realized by polycondensation or polyaddition reactions, starting from preformed macromers. The structures will be confirmed by spectral methods (NMR, FT-IR) and their properties will be investigated by DSC, DMA, UV-VIS spectroscopy, polarized light POM. The biphasic morphology and nanostructuration will be evidenced by TEM, SEM, AFM, XRD and XPS. The potential of siloxane based surfactants or liquid crystals as nanoreactors or nanoconteiners will be investigated. We will test the preparation of nanoobjects, including polymeric nanoparticles, by nanoprecipitation or polymerization/polycondensation reactions in nanoreactors consisting of biphasic organo-siloxane supramolecular assemblies. The results will be evaluated for subsequent use as disperse phase in polymer blends and as delivery vehicles. Mostly biocompatible/biodegradable materials will be designed and waterbased formulations for medical and personal care use will be explored.
