MODULA Project

Luminescence modulation in ferroelectric materials driven by external physical stimuli

The modulation of luminescence emission through external fields and stimuli has a significant application potential for light sources with variable colour and intensity as well as optical memories, switches and sensors. The main goal of the project is the fabrication of ferroelectric materials whose photoluminescence emission can be modulated in intensity, colour, etc. by the application of external physical stimuli, such as an electric field or a temperature variation. Moreover, the project aims at clarifying the fundamental mechanism behind the modulation process.

MAPS Project

Multimaterials for Adapted Prosthetic Sockets

The MAPS project aims to develop new materials and multi-material structures that can be customised for upper limb prosthetics. The use of multifunctional systems integrated in the socket of the prosthesis will improve the performance, ergonomics and comfort of these devices.

InnoWEE Project

Innovative pre-fabricated components including different Waste construction materials reducing building Energy and minimising Environmental impacts

InnoWEE will focus on the development and field tests of new high performance prefabricated geopolymeric panels made with a large content of recycled construction and demolition waste (CDW). The basic idea is to embed fragmented waste bricks, plaster or concrete, glasses, wood from pallets etc. in a geopolymer matrix to produce high added value prefabricated insulating and radiating panels to be used in energy efficient buildings.

TARANTO Project

Technology And pRocesses for the Abatement of pollutaNts and the remediation of conTaminated sites with raw materials recovery and production of energy tOtally green

The TARANTO project aims at the development of an ensemble of technologies suitable to generate renewable energy, and consequently achieve remediation effects in the polluted environmental compartments, thus favouring circular economy and decarbonization practices.

EMPATIA@Lecco Project

EMpowerment del PAzienTe In casA

The EMPATIA@Lecco Project is the third chapter of a targeted action on neuromuscular rehabilitation in the Lecco area. The project includes technological innovation actions aimed at patients’ empowerment with the development of innovative device prototypes and new methods of assessment, co-designed together by technological and clinical partners. The main focus is on advanced orthotics and prosthetics, aids, robotics, virtual and augmented reality, multifunctional materials and biomaterials, electronic and sensor systems, control and communication systems and FabLabs for the production of personalised devices.

INNOSMAD Project

New materials and solutions for vibration damping

INSURFCAST Project

Innovative Surfaces for Superalloys Casting Processes

INSURFCAST aims at finding new solutions for precision investment casting processes of complex-shaped superalloy blades through the understanding of the solid-liquid phenomena occurring at the alloy-mould interface leading to the design, engineering and application of innovative mould surfaces.

ANFISOL Project

Design and development of superamphiphobic coatings with self-cleaning properties for solar panels

The goal of ANFISOL is to intervene on photovoltaic panels state of the art, manufactured and marketed by a local industrial company, to improve its performance in terms of efficiency and durability with an increase in economic output with industrial implementation economically sustainable.
