MASTRO- Developing intelligent bulk materials for smart transport industries

07 July 2021

The MASTRO project is developing intelligent nano enabled bulk incorporating several self-responsiveness properties for the  transportation sector. The aim is to increase consumer safety, component life-span and performance while reducing maintenance  and manufacturing costs as well as through-life greenhouse gas emissions.  

Our project is heading towards the end, and we are proud to share our major achievements via a dissemination workshop. The  workshop is divided into 3 sessions covering the main research activities implemented throughout the project´s lifetime: 

Session I: Smart materials development 

In session I, our material experts UNSIA and CETMA will present the intelligent bulk materials design and development process  covering the design of anti/de-icing bulk resins based on the joule heating (UNISA) and the development of smart thermoplastics  with self-responsive functionalities for automotive and aerospace applications (CETMA).  

Session II: Smart functionalities model 

In session II, the multi-scale predictive modelling approach which aims to simulate the self-responsive functionalities addressed in  the project will be presented by IPC.  

Session III: Demonstrators in the aerospace, automotive and transport infrastructure sector 

In session III, our end users will present the demonstrators developed in order to validate the functionality of the intelligent bulk  materials incorporated in various critical transport sector components. 

Finally, Pinout Solutions will present in the MASTRO ICT Platform developed with the aim to turn data into valuable insights  using Industry 4.0 technologies.
