DATEMATS PROJECT
Datemats project aims to transfer and implement a unique design-led teaching method for students with a mixed background (design and engineering) in the field of Emerging Materials and Technologies (EM&Ts), and to boost knowledge and technology transfers from academia and research centres to industry.
​
Datemats investigates and focuses on four specific macro-area of Emerging Materials and Technologies
WEARABLE TECH:
Smart electronic devices with micro-controllers embeddable into clothing or worn on the body as implants or accessories. ICS EMTs: Interactive, Connected, Smart solutions able to establish a two-way exchange of information, to respond contextually and reversibly to external stimuli, linked to another entity or to an external source, and programmable not only through software.
ADVANCED GROWING EM&Ts: Materials from a controlled cultivation of organisms (bacteria, yeast, algae, mycelium, etc.) that are directly grown and/or manufactured into their subsequent form, function and performance by tapping into the organisms natural growth behaviour (bio-fabrication). SELF-HEALING EMTs: Material capable to repair damages occurring within ‘themselves’, in part or whole.
NANOMATERIALS EM&Ts: Entirely carbon-based materials, nano-scaled structures or composite blends whose properties are altered by surface and/or substrate doping thereof. NANO TECH: Matter controlled at molecular level, which is smaller than a micrometres, normally on scales of 1 to 100 nanometres.
WOOD-BASED EM&Ts :
Materials that are processed either chemically or mechanically from trees or other plants for innovative applications. The materials include cellulose fibers, fibrils (micro- or nano-structured) and derivatives, lignin, bark extractives and novel combinations of these.
