Накратко на български

Биоразградимите влакна се изследват, за да се създадат нови екологични продукти с конкретни свойства. Това помага за прехода към устойчива биоикономика и създаването на нови „зелени“ работни места в Европа.

A Training Network on Designing Novel Bio-based Fibre Products for Targeted Advanced Properties and New Applications

FibreNet trained young fibre-professionals for academic and non-academic sectors. These professionals have multidisciplinary perspective and competences to develop sustainable bio-based fibre products with tailored properties for different application fields. Bio-based industries form an important industrial sector in Europe. According to the Bio-based Industries Consortium, the field accounts for more than 18 million jobs and approximately 8% of the workforce in EU with a potential to create 1 million new green jobs by 2030. The European Commission has recognized the bioeconomy as one of the future drivers for sustainable economic growth in Europe and has shaped a strategy for the development of the sector. The traditional bio-fibre based industry is undergoing an intensive transformation. This is due to overcapacity (resulting, e.g., from the reduction in the use of paper due digitalization), push towards bio-based economy (greener products needed throughout their life cycle), and changes in the needs and priorities of end users (changes caused, e.g., by the aging society). Thus, there is an increasing need for totally new environmentally friendly products and for products with new functionalities. This transformation requires very specific multidisciplinary research actions and professionals with new types of skill sets and competences. Development of innovative products requires a deep understanding of the fibre materials and their functionalization and behavior as well as broad knowledge on existing and emerging applications. The education and research in FibreNet specifically addressed this combined challenge of understanding both the materials and the broad field of applications. The main research objectives were related to three important application areas of bio-based fibres: • to boost the competitiveness of biocomposites in the composites sector and improve their strength and durability properties by enhancing the fibre-matrix interface properties, • to improve the price-competitiveness and functionality of paper and fibre-based packages by developing new modification, characterization and modelling methods and tools, • to improve biocompatibility, extend the linear drug release period and increase pilot production capabilities in fibre-based wound healing and tissue engineering applications.

Цел на проекта

FibreNet will train young fibre-professionals having multidisciplinary view to develop sustainable bio-based fibre products with tailored properties for different application fields in both academic and non-academic sectors. Bio-based fibre products are one of the corner-stones in the European bio-based industry corresponding to 12% of the employment in manufacturing. The industry, including such sectors as packaging, paper, biocomposites and biomedical and hygienic textiles, is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation in order to respond to the competition raised i) by low-wage countries and ii) by fossil-based materials. A common consensus in Europe is that to remain competitive and sustain the bio-based fibre industries in Europe, we should focus on developing new high added value products that have specific functionalities but reduced environmental impacts.In fibre-based products, developing new properties and improving the performance are, however, typically long and time-consuming processes. They usually involve massive and expensive laboratory and pilot-scale trials, which are followed by statistical analyses. There is a particular knowledge gap in understanding the influence of fibre and fibre interface properties on the mechanical properties of the end-product especially when developing products with tailored performance and functionalities. In addition to the research gap, there is a training gap in Europe, as we do not currently have a training programme which would educate professionals having a skill set needed for the fibre-centered approach that we propose in FibreNet.To fill the research and training gaps, we propose here a unique training and research network which provides and further develops knowhow, methods and tools in functionalization, characterization, numerical modelling and production of bio-based fibre products at multiple length scales. The network covers expertise on packaging, paper, biocomposites and biomedical textiles.
