METAL MATRIX NANO-COMPOSITE COATINGS UTILIZATION AS ALTERNATIVE TO HARD CHROMIUM

绿色未来的可持续和安全材料世界一直在关注更好的组织和新颖的解决方案，以帮助应对气候变化。可持续和按设计安全的材料和产品比以往任何时候都更加重要，因为它们符合欧盟绿色协议的全循环战略和其他类似政策。在这种情况下，欧盟资助的IRIS项目旨在帮助行业，特别是中小企业，利用SSBD并实现它们的目标。为实现这一目标，该项目计划创建一个最先进的SSBD生态系统，以加强SSBD的开发和实施。目标IRIS项目旨在连接、协同和改造欧洲和全球的SSBD社区，转向一种生命周期思维，即在材料、产品和工艺的整个生命周期中，全面整合材料、产品和工艺的安全性、气候中立性、循环性和功能性，以满足欧盟绿色协议、欧盟化学品可持续发展战略和联合国可持续发展目标。IRIS的独特之处在于，该联盟由核心和网络伙伴组成，代表了建立欧盟领导的永久网络(即政策、工业、应用科学、创新和研究与教育)所需的顶级组成部分，而且是自给自足的和国际化的。IRISS对工作方案的回应有以下目标：1.建立一个最先进的SSBD生态系统，支持工业界，特别是中小企业采用和利用安全设计(SBD)和可持续设计(SusbD)战略。在材料和产品设计中应用生命周期思维，并与欧洲和国际倡议中正在进行的工作保持一致，以促进SusbD开发的标准和指导原则。建立一个常设、性别均衡、包容、国际和可持续专家的结构？所有相关利益相关者均可访问网络。制定包括3个议程的SSBD路线图，确定：1)科学研究需求，2)技能、能力和教育需求，3)知识和信息共享需求。路线图将在共同创建和包容的过程中制定，以便在行业和社会中实施SSBD，包括在研究、创新、技能需求、管理和治理方面的优先步骤。制定监测和评价方案，系统地扫描最先进的知识、信息差距，并将这些转化为具体的研发问题和治理需求，以便系统地更新路线图。

Sustainable and safe materials for a green futureThe world has been focusing on better organisation and novel solutions to help fight climate change. Sustainable and safe-by-design materials (SSbDs) and products are more important than ever as they are in line with the full-circle strategy of the EU Green Deal and other similar policies. In this context, the EU-funded IRISS project aims to help industries, with a specific focus on SMEs, utilise SSbDs and materialise their goals. To achieve this, the project plans to create a state-of-the-art SSbD ecosystem that will enhance the development and implementation of SSbD.ObjectiveThe IRISS project aims to connect, synergize and transform the SSbD community in Europe and globally towards a life cycle thinking where there is a holistic integration of safety, climateneutrality, circularity and functionality of materials, products and processes throughout their lifecycle to meet the EU Green Deal, EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, and UN SDGs. The uniqueness of IRISS is that the consortium is built of core andnetwork partners that represent the top components needed to build an EU-led permanent network (i.e. policy, industry, applied science, innovation and research & education), and that is self-sustaining and international in scope.IRISS responds to the work programme with the following objectives:1. To develop a state-of-the-art SSbD ecosystem that is supportive for the uptake and utilization of safe-by-design (SbD) and sustainable-by-design (SusbD) strategies by industry, especially SMEs.2. To contribute to criteria and guiding principles for SusbD development driven by the application of life cycle thinking in materials and product design and in line with ongoing work in European and international initiatives.3. To establish a structure for a permanent, gender balanced, inclusive, international and sustainable experts? network accessible for all relevant stakeholders.4. To develop SSbD roadmaps encompassing 3 agendas identifying: 1) scientific research needs, 2) skills, competences and education needs, and 3) knowledge and information sharing needs. The roadmaps will be developed in a co-creation and inclusive process forthe implementation of SSbD in industry and society including prioritised steps within research, innovation, skill demands, management and governance.5. To develop a monitoring and evaluation programme that systematically scans for state-of-the-art knowledge, information gaps and translates these into specific R&D questions and governance needs that feed into systematic roadmap updates.
