List of projects approved by the MecaTech Cluster since the end of 2006:
The objective of the MRIPF project is to better understand and control the phenomenon of rupture or fragmentation, resulting from cracking. This phenomenon is interesting for the scientists, since itmust either be excluded from certain applications or be controlled in order to orient the fragments (for example ammunition) in a certain direction (problem of collateral …
The MT_NanoAppli project consists of optimizing the production capacities of nano-powders, developed in Nano-Tech and of releasing industrial applications. The use of nano powders in Belgian defense products, should lead to innovative explosive and propulsion characteristics. These nano powders will be used in existing production processes. In order to ensure the consistency of their characteristics …
NANOCOMPO is a project aimed at ensuring the vertical integration of carbon nanotubes to boost the development of derivative final products and develop new generations of products that take advantage of all nanoparticles and Wallonia’s nanotechnology expertise. The project fostered the pooling of Walloon expertise in nanotechnologies as the industry kicked off. The first industrial …
The aim of the NANOSOL project is to develop sol-gel dispersion and functionalization technology by means of industrially applicable nanomaterials. Lighting systems that provide 50% more light for the same energy consumption, glass tables that will not scratch, new buildings that include metal claddings that are not only more resistant to mechanical attack but also …
The NANOTECH project is about creating a single platform in Europe in the area of nanopowder synthesis. The project’s aims are as follows: To boost the use of nanopowders in Wallonia. To produce and sell consistent nanopowders by means of the atmospheric plasma process. To build and sell nanopowder production lines (carbide, oxide, and pure …
NEOCERAM is a 2 million-euro, five-year investment program (from the start of 2010 to the end of 2014). This project is the continuation of a first 1,400,000-euro investment program that MecaTech CC selected in its third. In parallel with the investment program, NEOCERAM is continuing to develop its new generation of overmolded and/or differential dosing …
The aim of the Ecolighting OLED project is to develop innovative components usable for making new-generation OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes). These planar light sources, which are found in rigid, curved, and flexible forms, offer an infinite range of design and architectural possibilities. The project will culminate in no less than the creation of a …
The aim of the OPTIGRID project is to miniaturize an intelligent sensor for high- and intermediate- voltage lines that has maintenance prediction and fault detection abilities. The OptiGrid project belongs to the current SmartGrid movement. This generic term refers to making highand intermediate-voltage power grids “intelligent” by including a series of sensors in order to …
