Накратко на български

Витримерите са нов вид полимери, които съчетават здравината на твърдите пластмаси с възможността да бъдат преработвани и рециклирани. Те помагат за създаването на устойчиви материали за автомобилната индустрия и енергетиката, което подпомага кръговата икономика.

Training in VITRImers: high performance MAterials and Trainees for cutting-edge industrial applications

Today’s plastics are either thermoplastics composed of polymer chains, recyclable and processable at high throughput yet with poor heat and solvent resistance, or cross-linked thermosets made of permanent polymer networks with far better thermomechanical properties and solvent resistance yet essentially intractable and non-recyclable once processed. Vitrimers, or associative covalent adaptable networks (CANs), are a recent class of polymer materials taking benefit of dynamic exchangeable cross-links and combining the best features of thermoplastics and thermosets. By combining enhanced mechanical and chemical performances with abilities to be healed, welded, reprocessed and recycled, vitrimers bear the promise of the next generation of polymer materials and composites with new fields of applications in line with sustainable development and requisites of the plastics circular economy. VITRIMAT offered to the eleven recruited early stage researchers (ESRs) a highly valuable training able to bridge the gap between cutting-edge European academic research on vitrimers and industrial developments of daily life products. VITRIMAT ESRs were the recipients of a pioneering, highly interdisciplinary, international and intersectoral training program covering the whole value chain of advanced polymer materials currently employed in sectors with high employability and expected growth (e.g. consumer goods, construction, recreational, wind energy, electromobility, aeronautics and automotive industries). Overall the initial VITRIMAT objectives in terms of impact have been fulfilled: - the project tightly combined academic and industrial research on a timely topic related to the societal aspect of circular economy, - the overall quality of the recruited ESRs has been exceptional and the outcome in terms of dissemination has been remarkable, - the consortium has definitely contributed to the strengthening of the European leadership on vitrimers and advanced materials in general.

Цел на проекта

Today’s plastics are either thermoplastics (TPs) composed of polymer chains, recyclable and processable at high throughput yet with poor heat and solvent resistance, or crosslinked thermosets (TSs) made of permanent polymer networks with far better thermomechanical properties and solvent resistance yet essentially intractable and non-recyclable once processed. Vitrimers are a new class of materials, rewarded by the 2015 European Inventor Award, taking benefit of dynamic exchangeable crosslinks and combining the best features of TPs and TSs. By combining enhanced mechanical and chemical performances with abilities to be healed, welded, reprocessed and recycled, vitrimers bear the promise of the next generation of polymer materials and composites with new fields of applications in line with sustainable development and requisites of the plastics circular economy.VITRIMAT will offer a critical training gap between cutting-edge European academic research on vitrimers and industrial developments of daily life products. ESRs will be the first recipients of a pioneering, highly interdisciplinary training program covering the whole value chain of advanced materials currently employed in sectors with high employability and expected growth (e.g. consumer goods, construction, recreational, wind energy, electromobility and automotive industries).VITRIMAT aims at strengthening the European leadership on vitrimers by combining the expertise and technologies of 6 academic partners-pioneers in vitrimers and advanced composite materials - with 1 national technical center and 8 industrial partners (including 2 beneficiaries and 1 SME) that are world leaders in the chemistry, adhesives, thermosets and composites for consumer goods, construction and automotive applications. These sectors represent high employability for future ESRs that will acquire a broad range of advanced and transferable skills within a unique, innovative, multidisciplinary and inter-sectoral training environment.
