1. Size effects, formation mechanisms, and properties in micro- and nanostructured perovskite ferroic systems
prepared by alternative methods
The aim of this project consists in the comparative study of the phase formation and composition-structureproperty relation in perovskite oxide systems prepared by the traditional ceramic route, as well as by wet-chemical
methods. The subject of the project is extremely interesting and topical and involves the preparation and
characterization of compositions with ferroelectric properties derived from iso- and aliovalently doped barium
titatate of Ba(Ti,Zr)O3,Ba(Ti,Sn)O3, (Ba,Ce)TiO3 and (Ba,La)TiO3 type, respectively, as well as of multiferroic
magnetoelectric solid solutions derived from the bismuth ferrite, i.e. Bi(Fe,Sc)O3, (Bi,Sr)FeO3 and (Bi,Y)FeO3. An
important and innovative aspect of this project will be to study and to elucidate the influence of the so-called
„effect size” induced by the processing method and parameters on the multifunctional properties of the elaborated
ceramics. This objective will determine the necessity of a complex physico-chemical and functional investigation,
using modern and complementary techniques. Structuring from micrometric toward nanometric scale is expected
that to induce particular features as: (i) structural distortions with implications on the ferroelectric-relaxor
crossover in Ba(Zr,Ti)O3 solid solutions; (ii) change in the defect chemistry and distribution in (Ba,La)TiO3 ceramics
and a significant modification of the dielectric and magnetic behaviour in the BiFeO3-based materials.

2. Metal Carbon Supported Catalysts by Selected Vegetal Materials Pyrolysis
The pyrolysis processes of the liquid and gaseous organic compounds are very well described and characterized in
the reference literature, whereas the pyrolysis of the vegetal materials it is continuously improving considering
their great potential to substitute the fossil fuels.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the pyrolysis of some abundant vegetal materials, specially
impregnated with a catalysts precursors solutions such as nickel nitrate solution for Ni/C catalysts when using
carbon dioxide as sweeping gas. The research will be focused both on highlighting the increasing of the volatiles
yield and on identifying the possibilities to capitalize the resulting impregnated char as catalyst precursor or catalyst
respectively. The investigation of the selected vegetal material pyrolysis will be performed according to a factorial
experimental plan in order to achieve a correlation between the dependent variables and process factors. The
pyrolysis process phenomenological modeling will be based not only to one global kinetic. Here the model
parameters will be determined based on experimental analysis. A new stochastic model will be proposed. The
pyrolysis of the catalysts precursors impregnated vegetal materials generates metal impregnated chars that will be
analysed using XRD technique, adsorption-desorption isotherms using N2 at 77 K, atomic adsorption spectrometry
respectively the air calcination. The purpose was to observe if the materials possess a well-developed porosity or
needs to be improved in order to attain porosity similar to that possessed by catalysts. For all factorial experiments
the precursors measured properties will be treated as pyrolysis process responses. The upgrading of the resulted
impregnated chars will be subsequently done by pyrolysing the solid char residue in carbon dioxide stream under a
constant heating rate up to temperatures higher than those achieved in the primary pyrolysis. The resulting
catalysts were analyzed using the above mentioned techniques but also using Transmission Electron Microscopy,
achieving these way characteristic values for specific surface area, pore size distribution, as well as for the
distribution of the metal crystallite size. The performances of these catalysts will be tested for specific reaction such
as the liquid phase hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde with Ni/C catalysts.

3.DEVELOPMENT OF NEW STAINLESS STEELS WITH IMPROVED CAVITATION-EROSION RESISTANCE FOR
PROPELLERS FOR MARINE ENGINES
Cavitation is a phenomenon that usually occurs when a liquid is subjected to rapid changes of pressure that cause
the formation of cavities where the pressure is relatively low. In devices such as propellers and pumps, cavitation
causes a great deal of noise, damage to components, vibrations, and a loss of efficiency. The effects of cavitation
are especially important near the surface of the ocean, where the ambient water pressure is relatively low and
cavitation is more likely to occur. Generally, different propellers are made of stainless steels, either from
martensitic, or for austenitic class, seems to be resistant to cavitation-erosion when immersed in sea water. The
project is focused on the development of new generation of stainless steels, the research team realizing and
structural characterizing these new materials (metallographic analysis, X-Rays diffraction, scanning electron
microscopy, corrosion resistance).
Technology Profile
The new generation of stainless steels will be elaborate by RAV technology, in special ingots. The experimental program will include specific
analysis: spectrometry for determination of chemical composition, mechanical characteristics (yielding strength, fracture strength, young
modulus of elasticity elongation), X-Rays diffraction (for determination of the main phases from the new alloys), optical quantitative and
qualitative metallography (by Olympus microscope, at different magnification- in order to determine the main structural features of the alloys),
stereomicroscopy (by a stereomicroscope type Olympus, equipped with QuickMicroPhoto 2.2 soft for image capture) and scanning electron
microscope (both on mechanical or corrosion samples, in order to reveal structural features for the microstructure and for the cavitation
mechanism).

4.DEVELOPMENT OF NEW METALLIC BIOMATERIALS FOR DENTAL APPLICATIONS
Biomaterials can be derived either from nature or synthesized in the laboratory using a variety of chemical
approaches utilizing metallic components. Materials scientists are currently paying more and more attention to the
process inorganic crystallization within a largely organic matrix of naturally occurring compounds. Generally, dental
applications consist in all type of materials, metal being one of the importances due to specific properties, such as
mechanical behavior, biocompatibility and wear or corrosion resistance. The project is focused on the development
of new generation of metallic materials (both cobalt and titanium alloys), which could be used for different
implants of prosthesis in dental applications. The research team will realize and structural characterize these new
materials (metallographic analysis, X-Rays diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, corrosion resistance).

5.Research on Advanced Technologies for Materials Testing – Ultrasonic Phased Array Testing for Composite
Materials
The project focuses on research and applications of advanced ultrasonic testing methods – Ultrasonic Phased Array
– for composite materials. Due to their special properties, the use of composite materials is increasing everyday.
However, their use is being restricted by lack of reliable Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods for volumetric
inspection, especially for safety-critical applications in aviation industry, aerospace, wind power generation, nuclear
and chemical industry. The studies will concentrate on different types of composite materials, their defects and
methods for detecting and sizing these defects. Methods and equipment will be evaluated and compared. The
targets of these studies are to better understand the technologies, to compare them and to develop new methods
and testing procedures for different types of composite materials and different applications. The results of these
studies will also lead to the extension of applications of Ultrasonic Phased Array methods for composites and other
modern materials.
Services Studies of the Ultrasonic Phased Array methods’ applications on composites and other materials. Implementation
of the results with industry partners.
Technology Profile
The main technology is based on Ultrasonic Phased Array method for testing of materials. This method allows the Non-Destructive Testing
(NDT) of a wide range of materials, from steels to aluminium alloys, from ceramics to glass and from plastics to composites. The basic principle
consists in generating steering ultrasonic beams in the tested material. The beams are reflected by the defects / discontinuities in the materials
and by the geometry of the tested part. These reflected beams are detected by piezoelectric array transducers, the signals are recorder by the
equipment and the internal structure of the tested material is displayed by an advanced processing software. However, due to the multiple
reflection echoes in the material, the interpretation of the results is difficult and based on the specialist’s knowledge and experience too.

7. New architectural design solutions based on materials active behavior
In this proposal, metallic materials were chosen to play an active role, more specific a mechanical active role,
derived from elastic/plastic behaviour. By designing and controlling the deformation capacity of metallic materials,
a new class of tectonic thinking is proposed. The latest advancements in material science enable old materials to be
used in new flexible design models, as part of complex architectural programs. By placing the material at the centre
of computation, the technological thinking and design practice are reconfigured. Based on particular properties,
namely deformation properties, with new computational technology, metallic materials behaviour will be
differentiated and designed logically, in response to the external conditions.
The applications will be designed with new advanced tools provided by generative design to create new free form
architectural applications. The entire work involves experimenting with different shapes and metallic materials
(which are active in elastic/plastic regime) to achieve the final forms of products.
Services The main end product of this project is the free form architectural modules based on active (elastic/plastic) material
behaviour for construction engineering domain. The enhanced characteristics of the end product are: (1) high
versatility of free forms, achieved by generative design tools; (2) extreme light weight coupled with extreme
stiffness, demonstrated by materials and modules testing ; (3) the recyclable potential; (4) very efficient mass
production processes and individualized shaping methods demonstrated by digital fabrication principles and
technologies; (5) the possibility to be stacked and transported and easy assembled.
Technology Profile
The methods involved in the implementation of these strategies are based on: (1) generative design methods for free form architectural
components/modules; using a computer, a designer can transform material objects into dematerialized objects through digital imagery
manipulation; as digital models are just geometrical descriptions, they do not use methods for material simulation, therefore new tools are
demanded in order to make a connection between design and material understanding, incorporating algorithms for material simulation; (2)
advanced methods used in material science to select, characterize and test metallic materials behaviour; in-situ microdeformation examination
by SEM; Optical Microscopy (OM); Electron Microscopy (TEM, SEM); (3) advanced methods in digital fabrication CNC; laser cutting; welding etc.

9.TUBULAR ELECTRODES WITH COMPOSITE CORE DESIGNED FOR HARD WELDING DEPOSITS
The use of tubular electrodes allows the control over the carbides and borides embedding process from their
composite core, therefore avoiding the splintered edges rounding of the hard particles during the welding process.
The exterior coating of such electrodes assures the protection of the melted metal, the ionisation of the electric arc
space, the dosage of the heat quantity resulted from the electric arc and, sometimes, the alloying of the welded
deposit. Through the optimisation of the composite core network, the shape, dimensions and dispersion of the hard
particles in the tenacious metallic matrix can be controlled, leading to a significant increase of the wear resistance
and of the deposited components’ durability. The innovative element of the project is the dosage control and the
embedding method of the hard particles in the matrix, specific for each type of wear, by using ecological welding
technologies with high productivity.
Technology Profile
manufacturing technology of tubular electrode for welding charging of the active surfaces exposed to wear;
welding technology using the tubular electrode;
non-destructive control technology for weld deposit using tubular electrode.

10.ADVANCED METALLIC ALLOYS WITH SELF-PROTECTION INDUCED BY LASER IRRADIATION
In the fourth generation nuclear plants, cooling medium is made of metals that are liquid, such as Pb or PbBi, that
provide a thermal cooling and allow better optimization of functional parameters of reactor. At the same time, such
environments can leads to localized corrosion effects that can be cumulated with stress corrosion cracking at high
temperature (400 - 600oC). To create a barrier adapted to operating conditions, there are necessary also new
metallic materials for realizing structural core components and procedures for processing and cladding, designed
for protect the surfaces exposed to the corrosive environment. Such materials may be metallic FeCrAl alloy class,
similar to ferritic steels but having much higher contents of Al. To obtain composite coatings which are resistant to
stress corrosion cracking, in a first phase, a plasma cladding using powder is followed by laser remelting. Therefore,
in the project will be used several recipes for mixed metal-ceramic powders that will produce as high values of
resistance to stress corrosion cracking in the melted metallic environment, for different values of oxygen content.
Technology Profile
Technology for obtain at least 10 types of FeCrAl alloys (that involve the procedures for obtaining of FeCrAl alloys samples, samples
obtaining at laboratory level, plastic deformation and welding studies);
Recipes of metallic and metal-ceramic powders (obtaining the metallic powder from FeCrAl alloy samples, mixing of pure metal elements,
adding the different content of aluminium) for obtaining of composite layers using plasma and laser processes;
Technologies for Plasma spray deposition (LPPS and HVOF methods) and laser processing (laser ablation and laser remelting) (that involve
technological documentation which contains the values of the parameters for plasma and laser processing, test set of samples with
compact layer and features self-generating, the testing procedure for new materials and technologies with metallic and metal-ceramic
layers);

Technical Specifications for the new materials dedicated to the new generation of nuclear power plant R4 (limits of use of new materials,
areas of application, and mechanical, physical and chemical properties of new materials).

11.MULTILAYER MATERIAL RESISTANT AT DYNAMIC LOADINGS
One of the problems that appear in the field of individual protection is the impossibility to ensure a maximum
safety to the attack with high-speed projectiles. The lack of effective mechanisms for absorbing local impact energy
often resulting in penetration and a structural strength reduction. During the project we intend to contribute to the
development of new generation of composite materials used in military applications by creating a special fibre –
reinforced composite using continuous or discontinuous fibres (hybrid components) in a matrix material which are
polymeric or ceramic. Since the main problem related to the armour is the weak coherence of the matrix with the
reinforcing elements, the project will use the binder material, which will be deposited on the reinforcing elements
before embedding them into the matrix of the composite. The project research aimed to solving the following
problems: establishing the appropriate chemical composition of the hybrid material, the methods to obtain and to
embed the hybrid materials into the matrix, the optimal shape and size, the type of matrix for embedding, testing
with appropriate methods the new composite materials.
Technology Profile
Technology for obtain at least 2 types of HEA alloys (that involve the procedures for obtaining of HEA alloys samples, samples obtaining
at laboratory level, fine grinding and grain sorting);
Technology for obtain at least 2 types of SMA alloys (Ni-Ti and CrZnAl alloying system) that involve the procedures for obtaining of SMA
alloys samples, samples obtaining at laboratory level, fine grinding and grain sorting, spin melting;
Recipes of metallic powders (obtaining the metallic powder from HEA and SMA alloy samples) for obtaining of composite layers using
plasma and laser processes:
Technologies for obtaining the polymeric and ceramic matrix for composite panels used for personnel/ apparatus protection (that
involve technological documentation, the values of the parameters for materials processing, test set of samples with different thickness
compact layers);
Technologies for embedding particles and fibres into polymeric and ceramic matrix (that involve methods for increasing the adherence
of reinforcing parts with the matrix);
The testing procedure for new materials and technologies.

14.Optimization of geo-polymer concretes composition by using neural network
Geo-polymeric materials can be produced from a wide range of alumina-silica, such as coal ash, oil fuel ash,
metallurgical slags, silica fume, metakaolin, and natural pozzolan and provide a route towards sustainable
development. Although research on geopolymer has advanced, most of the previous research conducted on
geopolymers has concentrated on the material’s chemistry and microstructure, the engineering and durability
properties of geopolymer concrete. There is no modelling available concerning the optimum chemical composition
and the best paste can be made from activated waste materials for production of geopolymer concrete. This
research will mainly focus on using neural network to optimize the composition of alkali activated waste based on
the alumina silicate and alkali activators compositions. This leads to the optimum chemical composition and the
best paste can be made from alkaline activated alumina silicate waste materials.
Technology Profile
recovery/recycling, inorganic binders technology, geopolymers development, using neural network to optimize the composition of alkali
activated wastes.

15. Eco-binding materials for sustainable development by using alumina-silicates wastes
The challenge for the civil engineering community in the near future will be to realize structures in harmony with
the concept of sustainable development, through the use of high performance materials of low environmental
impact that are produced at reasonable cost. The research aims at creating more sustainable cement based
materials (CBM) by using local resources. Sustainability is here defined as a balanced combination of variables:
environmental, societal and economical. To achieve this, silicate based industrial wastes (coal ashes and
metallurgical slags) will be used to substitute a portion of the amount of cement used in conventional CBM. This
decrease will immediately reduce the negative environmental impact of CBM, because the manufacturing process
of cement is one of the main causes of their environmental footprint. Durability is a key issue when talking about
sustainability, because its impact on the economics of construction. The new material must also be economically
viable, as a way to expand its potential field of application, even in local communities with lower resources. Specific
objectives include the study of manufacturing processes to create additions from the wastes, the study of the
properties of the obtained addition, the study of different properties of fresh and hardened CBM with different
proportions of the additions (workability, setting time, compressive strength, durability, microstructure) and the
LCA validation of the new mixes.

16. Nano materials synthesis through interface controll
Nanotechnologies and nanostructured materials is expected to be the most promising area of technological
development and among the most likely to deliver substantial economic and societal benefits to the EU in the 21st
century. It is a time of rapid advance in the development of these technologies, which can organize materials at the
nanoscale and tailor their properties. This offers exciting possibilities in virtually all sectors of EU activity and could
create entirely new industries. The proposal brings together theoretical studies, computer simulations, and
experimental investigations on the formation of interfaces during nucleation and crystal growth in glasses. If a
crystal is formed in a multicomponent glass, it does not possess the same chemical composition as the liquid.
Hence, in highly viscous liquids, the composition of the liquid will change near the emerging crystals. Such interface
can form a diffusional barrier which leads to a decay in crystal growth velocity. Since in the latter case crystal
growth velocity decreases, the formation of a high volume concentration of nano crystals with narrow size
distribution is facilitated. The proposal main objectiv is focused on properties and crystallisation of glasses as well
as on formed structures.

18.Phase behaviour and thermophysical properties of carbon dioxide as a petroleum reservoir fluid
Technology Profile
The project explores the phase behaviour and thermophysical properties of carbon dioxide as a petroleum reservoir fluid. Among different
scenarios, carbon dioxide injection in the oil fields is one of the most promising. The carbon dioxide capture achieves two goals: to increase the
efficiency of oil recovery and to sequester a substantial amount of CO2 for an extended period of time. Phase behaviour, viscosity, density,
diffusion coefficients experimental data are needed, in order to implement economically this process. The experimental measurements are
required not only to develop predictive tools and models, but for understanding the mechanics of crude oil extraction and reservoir
characterization and for understanding species behavior in systems far from concentration equilibrium and to determine the complex processes
in multi-component mixtures and to improve the understanding of the mass transport phenomena and for the validation of theoretical models.
For predicting the natural hydrocarbon extraction conditions, a major issue is to understand in-situ characteristics of crude oils. Costs of
exploration are forcing oil companies to develop models which predict reservoir production more accurately (lower exploration costs, especially
for deep off-shore). It can be noticed a lack of phase behaviour, viscosity, density, and diffusion data on most mixtures of interest to the oil
industry.

21. New generation biopolymers based photovoltaic cells for solar energy conversion.
It is commonly admitted that the solar energy is the most reliable energy choice for future. The most commonly
used way for its utilization is its transformation into electricity by the photovoltaic (PV) effect. The presently used
for these purposes PV cells are based on crystalline or amorphous silicon. The first are more efficient but also more
expensive than the second. However their fabrication is expensive, and as consequence the produced electric
energy too. Moreover the technological process is highly polluting and there is problem with the recovery of used
cells. Also the resources of this material are limited. Therefore the focus now is done on using organic molecules.
Two types of PV cells are developed: (i) thin film PV cells and (ii) the so called Grätzel cells. The first are similar to
the already in use Si based cells while the second are electrochemical cells. Whereas the second are significantly
more efficient than the first ones, with conversion efficiencies larger than 10 %, they represent a technological
problem associated with the use of liquid electrolyte. In both cases the photosensitizers, which are chemically
synthesized organic molecules are used. What makes problem with their degradability. In this project we propose
to develop the Grätzel type PV cells, but using solid electrolyte made of biodegradable biopolymers such as
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and collagen. These polyelectrolyte can be made in form of thin membranes 1, which
can be easily used in PV cells assembly. Both biopolymers are obtained from waste of food processing industry, thus
originate from renewable sources. As photo sensitizers also natural molecules, such as anthocyanins 2, obtained
from fruits or from flowers, will be used. Thus the obtained PV cells will be fully done from biodegradable,
originating from renewable sources materials.
