National Centre of Competence - Polymer Materials and Technologies for the 21st Century

COC is involved in 5 sub-projects focused on the application of organic functional materials in polymer systems:

DP001N – Marking system for digital waste sorting system. COC coordinates the sub-project. The main direction of COC involvement is the design of organic markers for the higher efficiency of machine sorting of waste plastics. The sub-project is financed from the National Recovery Plan.

DP007 – Functional polyurethane polymers. COC coordinates the sub-project. The aim of the sub-project is to realize polyurethanes in the area of nanomembranes with functional properties and to find a procedure for the realization of polyurethanes for functional surface treatments.

DP011 – Nanofibrous and polymeric materials with antimicrobial protection. The sub-project is coordinated by NANOPROGRESS and is focused on the realization of innovative antimicrobial materials for nanomembranes and surface treatment.

DP012 – Biopolymers for agrochemical applications. The partial project is coordinated by the BUT Faculty of Chemistry. COC activities are focused on the design of technology for the preparation of biosolvents from renewable sources.

DP017 - Plastics with increased thermal conductivity. COC coordinates the sub-project. The partial project is focused on the design of additives to increase effective thermal conductivity. Additives will be available from renewable sources within the EU.
