We have 1 PhD within the ERC Stg 948840-BioCom4SavEn project entitled: Bioinspired Composites Strategies for Saving Energy, that has started in 2021
Project description:
Energy harvesting is a promising approach to improve energy efficiency and meet the rising demand for electricity generation. As such, the energy industry is constantly searching for new materials. What’s more, the growing use of portable and small devices represents a considerable technological challenge for heat dissipation. The EU-funded BioCom4SavEn project will develop a nature-inspired solution. Specifically, it will construct lighter and more efficient thermal insulation. Moreover, it will develop a cooling system based on fibrous membranes that can dissipate heat effectively. The project will also build a mechanically strong and integrated structure with conductive or piezoelectric properties that will include a thermal insulation and cooling system appositely designed for small instruments and smart textiles.
The aims of the project are the following:
- constructing light and more efficient thermal insulation;
- developing cooling system based on the fibrous membranes to dissipate effectively heat, both leading to lower power consumption;
- building mechanically robust and integrated system with conductive or piezoelectric properties, including thermal insulation and cooling system designed together for small devices and smart textiles
