A collection of case histories of successful collaborations between High Technology Network Laboratories and businesses. These are tangible and customisable examples of the application of new technologies, products, or services that show how industrial research can meet the needs of innovation.
The use of 3D printing as a net-shape forming technique for technical ceramics opens the doors to the application of these materials even in sectors where high manufacturing costs prejudiced against their use. The most suitable AM techniques for...
Wireless wearable sensors have developed rapidly in recent years, primarily driven by e-health, fitness and wellness applications. The technological evolution of low power microprocessors is enabling to process data locally, saving energy and...
The service includes efficacy and safety certified studies according to the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). It is optimized for the results validation and for the IND (Investigational New Drug) application. It includes the study design based on a...
The procedures developed by the Laboratory for Advanced Therapy Technologies (LTTA) exploit innovative technologies for the evaluation of the immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties of specific compounds contained in foods, nutraceuticals and...
TECNO_EN-P, a system to create smart membranes
Biopharmanet-tec developed an innovative delivery system for the nasal vaccination using dry powders containing at the same time an antigen and an adjuvant in form of a nanoemulsion.
Powders have been obtained by «layering» the antigen and the...
Gruppo C.S.A. S.p.A. has defined and executed in collaboration with Newster System s.r.l. the validation tests of the efficacy of the sterilization process of Newster sterilizers: - Physical validation test, based on the verification of the...
The laboratory has developed a set of IT tools to support public administrations in the implementation of energy refurbishment of school buildings to the status of Near Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB).
The "TEESCHOOLS" toolkit is designed to be simple...
The research has led to the development of high thermal conductivity screeds, able to optimize the performance of underfloor heating systems. The increased thermal conductivity fosters the heat transfer from screed to internal environment in terms of...
The mechanical characterization leads to define the limits of use of a material for a specific application, identifying its mechanical properties. This activity is performed as an essential part of the development of new processes and materials, and...
Thermocert
Following the damages recorded in prefabricated structures due to the earthquakes that took part in from the 20th to the 29th May of 2012, the CIRI (University of Bologna) was tasked to supervise the safety measures of prefabricated schools and gyms...
The researches activity has led to the development of a type of infill masonry blocks with high thermal-hygrometric performance, differentiated for thickness, internal layout and admixture, in order to ensure different performances as needed. Blocks...
The Green ceramic tiles made by 70% at least - and till 99% - of urban and industrial scraps. The production of these tiles contributes to the sustainable management of waste. The recovery of industrial scraps and materials such as packaging glass...
The seismic vulnerability assessment of existing buildings is particularly important for the analysis of the seismic risk on a construction in order to highlight structural problems and design appropriate strengthening interventions. The service...
Innovative concrete elements realized by dry pressing method, constituted by secondary raw materials up to 80% by weight. The elements, with dimensions of about 250 mm x 250 mm, are suitable for applications in traditional walls or ventilated facades...
The more recent seismic events have highligthed the seismic vulnerability of Italian masonry structures. Thus, it has become more and more important to adequately design and apply efficient strengthening interventions on masonry buildings. Among the...
