Development of low embodied energy, lightweight, 3D honeycomb structures from hybrid Composite Materials as a direct replacement for oil based polymers in product manufacture.

该项目将开发由可持续材料制成的创新复合材料。在使用新型粘合剂（无机硅酸盐和地质聚合物粘合剂技术）、填料（稻草或回收玻璃纤维）方面有重大创新。与目前的材料相比，产品将具有更低的材料成本、更高的技术性能和更低的嵌入式二氧化碳。E4 Structures是一家成熟的结构复合材料部件制造商，拥有材料开发方面的专业知识。他们已经确定了这项新技术的明确市场需求和潜在客户。

This project will develop innovative composite materials formed from sustainably derived materials. There is significant innovation in the use of novel binders (inorganic silicates and geo polymer binder technology), fillers (straw or recycled glass fibre). Products will have reduced materials costs, higher technical performance and a low embedded CO2 as compared to current materials. E4 Structures is an established manufacturer of structural composite components with expertise in materials development. They have identified both a clear market need and potential customers for this new technology.
