Functional thermoplastic textiles

The ReMixT project aims at developing and optimizing a process for polymer recovering and reuse, used as feedstock in the textile industry, from common PIW and PCW.

Development of a novel type of thermal and electrical conductive compound with high conductivity and improved processability in a wide range of processing techniques, that will broaden the scope of possible applications for conductive composites.

Luxilon solved the ball control issue many beginning players are struggling with, by filing a patent for tennis strings based on the "island in the sea" technology!

BIOGEARS is a new innovative project funded by the European Union under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund that is set to develop biobased gear solutions for the creation of an eco-friendly offshore aquaculture sector using a multitrophic approach and new biobased value chains.
