Advanced materials for icing, friction and self-cleaning

The project studies smart hybrid materials to improve component performance in challenging conditions. Functional bulk composite materials and coatings are combined to reduce icing, soiling and flow friction. The goal is to increase functionality and service life and lower the maintenance need and environmental footprint.

An EURA 2021 –funded project

The project has received funding from European Union’s region and structure policy for program period 2021—2027 (EURA 2021) under call ESAELY-079 (application ID A91495). The funding is administered by the South Savo Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY).
