H RDC Informatics, in collaboration with Montpellier’s Charles Gerhardt Research Center (ICGM), successfully organized the workshop on “polyethylene, an old material with unrivalled propertiesREDONDO. The event attracted great interest from the research and academic community, with more than 70 internationally hybrid entries, both physically present at ICGM’s state-of-the-art facilities and online.
Six (6) speakers participated in the event, including a representative of the energy giant of production and distribution of oil and related fuels total energies. The remaining speakers came from various research centers and universities of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, presenting their activity in the field of polyethylene processing and recycling as well as other related derivatives.
During the workshop, participants had the opportunity to get in touch and exchange opinions and experiences between the various industry and academy disciplines. The speeches covered a wide range of topics, focusing on the need to enhance the recyclability of polyethylene and related polymers.
It is worth noting that, among other things, there have been important developments and discussions regarding the application of nano-coatings on surfaces made of customized plastics, with the aim of increasing the Flame Redundancy. “Flame Redundancy” is the ability of the material to withstand or prevent the spread of fire. Increasing the Flame Redundancy through the use of nanoovers in parameterized plastics, can be achieved:
- Increased fire resistance.
- Better performance in high heat conditions.
- Reduction of fire risk in applications where plastics are used in high-risk environments.
The Workshop was an important opportunity for networking and collaboration between participants, enhancing the understanding and promotion of the common goals of research projects in the field of polyethylene-based plastics.
About REDONDO
The project id=”T2″>HORIZON Europe of the European Commission in the field of Safe and Sustainable-by-Design Polymeric Materials (RIA). As part of the project, research will be carried out for the development of an innovative, biodegradable polymer (rPEX), replacing the, until now, non-recyclable PEX.
