Research

The products offered by CellMat Technologies are based on our specific know-how that has been acquired along the years during the carrying out of several research projects and novel developments in the fields of cellular materials and bioplastics. Therefore, R&D has for CellMat Technologies a strategic relevance.

Nowadays our efforts are focused in the following topics:

nanocellularDevelopment of nanocellular polymers by means of physical foaming processes.

 

 

 

cellular nanocomDevelopment of multifunctional cellular nanocomposites with improved physical properties.

 

 

 

Development and optimization of low density open cell polyolefin based foams. OpenCellMat Technology.

 

 

 

Development and optimization of cellular materials with high specific stiffness and strength for structural applications. AniCell Technology

 

 

 Production of lightweight elements with large size using a cheap technology. Stages Molding Technology.

 

 

Optimization and development of blowing agents and micro- and nano-sized nucleating agents for foaming processes.

 

 

Improvement of the foamability of polymeric matrices by using additivation.
Development of biodegradable foamed products for the packaging sector.

Optimization of products based on thermoplastic starch to be used as biodegradable materials.

CellMat Technologies is interested in the participation in R&D projects in which our experience could result in a significant contribution.

CellMat Technologies participates in the project “ECLIPSE: RESEARCH INTO NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE RECYCLING AND RECOVERING OF COMPLEX PLASTIC WASTE”.

MISIONES 2021 call, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and the State Program to Catalyze Innovation and Business Leadership of the State Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021-2023.

The company “CellMat Technologies” participates in the project ECLIPSE “Research into new technologies for the recycling and recovering of complex plastic waste”.

This project focuses on the research of novel technological routes for the recycling and revalorization of complex polymeric wastes, which represent a disruptive advance compared to the current state of the art, in terms of separation, recycling, purification and chemical synthesis of building blocks to obtain new high quality recycled polymers, providing an alternative to mechanical recycling. This objective will be reached through research in processes of separation and identification of complex polymeric wastes, mixed technologies of thermal, chemical and biotechnological recycling, processes of isolation and purification of chemical units of high industrial interest, synthesis of chemical specialties, polymeric formulations and eco-design of products. In addition, this technological transversality provided by ECLIPSE in the different recycling processes to be addressed will allow a significant improvement in the sustainable development and in the circular economy of plastics sector through the minimization of the waste generated, the reduction of energy the costs and the reduction of the CO2 emissions.

The consortium of  ECLIPSE is integrated by 8 different companies:

–          TÉCNICAS REUNIDAS, S.A.
–          ACTECO PRODUCTOS Y SERVICIOS, S.L.
–          CELLMAT TECHNOLOGIES, S.L.
–          CENTRO TECNOLÓGICO DE GRUPO COPO, S.L.
–          PICVISA MACHINE VISION SYSTEMS, S.L.
–          REPSOL, S.A.
–          SEAT, S.A.
–          SYNTHESIA TECHNOLOGY EUROPE, S.L.
 

ECLIPSE project is funded by the “Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial (CDTI)and supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. It is also co-founded by the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, in the 2021 call of the Science and Innovation Missions Program, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and the State Program to Catalyze Innovation and Business Leadership of the State Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021-2023.
