Research

The TEXTOS project will develop an innovative 3D-matrix for tissue technology to reconstruct, regenerate or replace the tissue structures of deficient organs. This matrix consists of carrier material produced from natural polymers made from crops.

The purpose of the Interreg France-Wallonie-Vlaanderen project "Elasto-Plast" is to familiarize companies with the range of options thermoplastic elastomers (TPE’s) provide to enhance the processability and properties of conventional polymers. 

Restructuring the textile value chain to fit the circular economy

Composites from long fibres (flax and/or long PLA fibres), renewable and local resources and (nano) reinforced biobased and thermocuring resins (benzoxazine fibres based on naturally available phenols).

LUMINOPTEX addresses the design and implementation of novel smart textiles for “autonomous diffuse lighting” with applications in interior design, decoration textiles or signalisation.
