| Description: | IN SUBBIMATT WE WILL DEVELOP A NOVEL GENERATION OF BIOBASED AND BIOINSPIRED SUSTAINABLE SMART TECHNICAL TEXTILE MATERIALS TO ADDRESS CURRENT AND FUTURE ENERGY NEEDS. WE START FROM DEVELOPING DEBONDABLE ADHESIVES, BIO-POLYURETHANE AND NEGATIVE THERMORESPONSIVE MATERIALS. COMPLEMENTING THESE WITH EXISTING (BUT TUNED) BIOBASED MATERIALS WILL ENABLE CIRCULAR TEXTILE INTERMEDIATE PRODUCTS: HIGH END COATED FABRICS, NANOMEMBRANES AND SHAPE MEMORY FILAMENTS. SUBSEQUENTLY, THESE TEXTILE INTERMEDIATES WILL BE THE STEPPING STONE FOR MAKING BIOINSPIRED SMART TEXTILE MATERIALS (STM) FEATURING MECHANICAL ACTUATION, ENERGY HARVESTING AND TUNEABLE FABRIC OPENNESS. LASTLY, THE NOVEL BIO-STMS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN THREE DEMONSTRATORS WITH INTEGRATED ENERGY HARVESTING: SHAPE MORPHING BUILDING ENVELOPES, AUTOMOTIVE INTERIOR TEXTILES AND ADVANCED GARMENTS WITH ADAPTABLE BREATHABILITY. THE SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE BY DESIGN (SSBD) FRAMEWORK WILL BE APPLIED, DEVELOPING A PROTOCOL FOR TECHNICAL TEXTILES DEVELOPMENT. COMBINING MODELLING AND EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERISATION WILL ALLOW TO OPTIMISE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE STMS AND DEMONSTRATORS, PREDICTING THEIR SAFETY, FUNCTIONALITY AND ENERGY HARVESTING CAPABILITIES. |
