No more lines in vehicles and appliances

This new technology, based in autoensamblaje molecular for conventional plastics and of high provision, will contribute to the big companies profits, so much from the point of view of costs as of quality, since they substitute materials by others cheaper and, besides, improve his properties, explain the experts of Aimplas.

One of the main advantages of this innovative technology, framed in the project Nanoscratch, is his improvement of the environingingmental sustainability. On the one hand, it allows to increase the reciclabilidad of the vehicles since the conventional coatings contain heavy particles, what hampers the separation of materials and, therefore, the possibility to recycle them. By another, to the not to use nanopartículas metallic, allows that the process of transformation was more respectful with the environingingment.

In the sector of the plastic, the technology can apply to all those pieces that remain in sight and need to improve the resistance to the rayado, like sucede with the industry of white line. “The technology will be able to use for any appliance, although in the project are centring us in pieces of the washing machine, like the plastic of the frontal part or the door of glass that could substitute by plastic”, sustains Carolina Losada, the main researcher of the project of Aimplas.

Although the development of the project is directed to the sector of automotive sector and the industry of white line, the results will be able to apply to other so diverse sectors like the electrical-electronic (computers or DVD) or the construction (artificial ceramic marbles).

Nanoscratch Is a project of the Area of Capacities of the seventh Program Mark funded by the European Commission in which they participate 10 partners (Companies, centres of investigation and universities) of five different countries: Bulgaria, Slovenia, Israel, Hungary and Spain. The investigation that began in 2009 finalised in 2011.
