Abstract:

The project ProWood (Protection of Wood) is an interdisciplinary 6-members Consortium of molecular biologists, (bio)chemical engineers and industrial partners selected for their know-how in biotechnology, bio-coating development, wood handling and validation processes. ProWood aims the development of novel solution(s) for wood decay protection under the light of the previous and successful developments and knowledge of the Partners. Thus, the combination of bio-based coating solutions with biological decay antagonists guarantees an industrial-relevant solution. The workplan of ProWood consists of four Research and Analysis workpackages (WP) and one of Management and Dissemination. These WPs cover the process from the initial definition of coating precursors (chemistry) and the biological antagonists (biotechnology) to the combined coating demonstration and validation (industry) and the industrial use (market). Thus, ProWood walks along the entire value chain of wood protection.

Abstract:

The specific topic of this complex project is of great interest and the conclusive evidence is the great number of international research works on increasing eco-efficiency of the leather processing industry, which is currently classified as an industry with controlled environmental aggression tending to become an industry with limited aggression.

The objectives proposed for this project are consistent with the purpose and overall goal of the PN II_PT_PCCA program to increase competitiveness of research and development by developing solutions to problems of socio-economic interest, resulting in innovative products and technologies, developed in partnership between research organizations. The problems addressed by the proposed project place it into Research area 7 - Materials, processes and products, Research direction 7.1. Advanced Materials, Research theme 7.1.3. Environmentally friendly materials in processes related to their production and use.

The main goal of this project is to promote best practices specific to ecological leather processing industry (at least in terms of eco-tolerability) by developing and implementing new materials and innovative technological principles that lead to the harmonization of economic performance criteria with environmental protection and human security.

The originality of this project lies in the idea of transforming difficult to manage waste into an eco-efficiency growth factor for the industry generating it, namely recovery of solid waste with protein content (leather, wool, hair) resulting from leather processing (as well as from other industries) to obtain added-value products (biopolymers).

These innovative products are used in biomimetic hybrid tanning systems and as vehicle agents for a new leather dyeing system with non-specific materials, namely organic pigments formulated/functionalized in water-soluble liposomal micro/nanocapsules.

Developing these relatively low-cost materials will be possible through simple processes and their application will not essentially change existing industrial technologies, but will induce multiple economic effects (by reducing production and pollution treatment costs), environmental effects (through recovery and use of difficult to manage waste, removing substances with high toxic potential, such as chromium salts used in tanning and carcinogenic amines used in dyeing, from leathers and effluents), and, last but not least, social effects (by protecting the individual, from workers in tanneries to users of objects made of leather, creating new jobs as a result of lower production costs and re/opening waste processing units).

Abstract:

The aging of polymer systems involves different factors: natural (light, heat, humidity), structural and accidental (impurities, oxidation processes occurred during processing), all these being capable to significantly reduce the life-time of materials. The mechanisms of polymers degradation are highly complex. Thus, there can be initiated photo-crosslinking or photo-oxidative reactions of polymers accompanied by decrease in average degree polymerization, increase of polydispersity and formation of chemical structures capable to modify the properties of polymers. The present project envisages increasing knowledge in the investigation upon effect of external factors on stability of multi-component polymer systems. It is aimed to create a research team comprising 4 experienced researchers and 3 doctoral students focused to acquire experimental data and to elaborate original theories in order to explain the performance loss of polymer systems during exposure to controlled environmental factors, and to evaluate their life-time prediction. It is considered that valuable scientific results will be provided, being comparable with those already existing at global level, and will contribute to increasing international visibility of Romanian research activity. The envisaged results will contribute to the finalization of doctoral theses to be realized by the young doctoral students included in the research team.
