BIOHARV project
The BIOHARV project is a French-Belgium R&D project on bio-based piezoelectric polymers financed by the INTERREG V FWVL program. The project unites IMT Lille Douai (project leader), Armines, Centexbel, University of Mons, University of Lille and University Polytechnique Hauts-De-France. BIOHARV started on October 2016 and will close on March 2021.
Aim
- Evidence, evaluate and optimize shear piezoelectric properties of PLA
- Develop reliable melt-state processes for the production of piezoelectic PLA films and fibers
- Setup prototyping routes for energy µ-generators and sensors
- Consolidate a cross border FR-BE network on the topic of (biobased) electroactive polymers
