MATCAP
The objective of the project is the research and development of new materials for their application in the furniture sector through the incorporation of microencapsulation technology.
More information
Expected results:
Advanced knowledge about microencapsulation technology and definition of the microcapsules of interest for the development of materials with improved and/or novel properties for application in the furniture and/or rest sector.
Knowledge about the different possible methodologies for incorporating microencapsulation technology in materials with application in the furniture sector to be studied: boards, varnishes, flexible polyurethane foams, etc.
Determination of the most optimal method of action of the capsules in each case for the effective release of the encapsulated agent.
Knowledge of the effect of the various types of microcapsules on the different materials obtained by determining the innovative properties of said materials for application in the furniture sector.
Promotion of the use of innovative technologies to obtain more sustainable materials and/or with advanced properties with application in the furniture sector or the rest sector.
