✅ Project Complete! ✅ Brunel Innovation Centre (BIC) participated in the remote closure meeting for the Sentio project! In attendance were representatives from Innovate UK and all our esteemed consortium partners: Impact Solutions, McLaren Plastics Limited, and Coda Octopus Martech along with AHMED TEYEB from BIC. This meeting was an invaluable opportunity to summarize the key activities and findings of our ambitious project. The Sentio project aimed to enhance #bioplastic injection moulding through #ultrasonic power, focusing on improving the material properties and #manufacturing efficiency of biopolymers. Our research specifically targeted the challenges of managing heat resistance, thermal degradation, and extended cooling times in bioplastic production. Key findings presented at the meeting demonstrated the significant impact of #ultrasonic processing during injection moulding on the Glass Transition Temperature and Biodegradation Rate of biopolymers. These advancements promise to revolutionize the #bioplastic #manufacturing industry by improving material properties and supporting #environmental #sustainability. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all partners for their dedication and to Innovate UK for their support. Together, we are paving the way for a sustainable future in manufacturing. #Innovation #Bioplastics #Sustainability #UltrasonicProcessing #InjectionMoulding #Research #Biodegradation #SentioProject #BrunelInnovationCentre #InnovateUK

♻️ Recycling of metallized plastic foams A life cycle analysis 🌱   We are happy to share the poster of our colleagues Pauline Langbehn, Kaja Mol, Maria D., and Julius Eik Grimmenstein (research assistant at TU Bergakademie Freiberg)! The presented results were funded by Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz in project KoLibri. The authors want to thank the KoLibri consortium for the fruitful project cooperation! Siemens, Valeo Siemens eAutomotive, Technische Universität Dresden, Institut für Leichtbau und Kunststofftechnik (ILK), TU Dresden, NRU GmbH, Technische Universität Freiberg, Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems, Fraunhofer-Institut für Werkzeugmaschinen und Umformtechnik, Projektgruppe RMV und Umformtechnik IWU 👉 The poster offers a compact overview of the findings on mechanical recycling of metallized plastic foams and was presented last week by Kaja in Sweden at the 26th LCA Symposium organized by the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC)! Check out the poster and learn how LCAs can support finding the most sustainable recycling process for metallized plastic foams and which additional measures needs to be set in place for further research. ♻️💡   #recycling #sustainability #LCA

IFAT 2024: Fraunhofer CCPE's "Reusable Transport Box" demonstrator combines the potential of circular plastic compounds with innovative manufacturing processes for component production. Newly developed mono-material approaches based on PLA, bio-based foams with functional additives and odour-optimized recyclates open up promising design possibilities for the realization of circular product designs. At the booth of the Fraunhofer IML (Hall B4 booth 153 and 352), you will not only receive information on the reusable transport box, but also on adapted digitalization and logistics concepts for the efficient coordination of material and information flows. Would you like to talk to our specialists? Then come and visit us at the IFAT worldwide 2024. #IFAT2024 #plastics #circulardesign #monomaterial #PLA #digitalisation #circulareconomy
