It involves 10 international partners who will be responsible for developing and designing their own process know-how to a TRL8 technology maturity level (complete and certified system through testing and demonstration in a real environment).<\/p>\n\n<p>In the course of the project, different materials based on fibre-metal laminates (FML) and innovative composites with advantages in terms of sustainability and safety will be developed. For the production of these materials, pre-impregnated glass fibres and basalt will be used to ensure a competitive cost of the final material and a reduction in environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n<p>The main reason for the choice of FML materials is that they have good fire performance properties. In addition to FML, this research also proposes the use of reinforced geopolymers as another solution for the manufacture of battery boxes, which also have excellent thermal properties and reaction to fire.<\/p>\n\n<p>GAIKER, expert in laboratory tests for the characterisation of materials, has a reaction to fire laboratory that is accredited by ENAC and by the European entity ILAC-MRA. Its task in this project will be to carry out fire tests on the materials developed, as well as mechanical tests on the specimens, before and after their exposure to fire, to observe their residual resistance.<\/p>\n\n<p>The FENICE project, which started in 2022 and will end in 2025, has been funded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) under Horizon 2020, the EU&apos;s Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.<\/p>\n\n<p>More information on the project at:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fenice-composites.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.fenice-composites.eu\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"197\" height=\"88\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gaiker.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/not_428_g.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27476\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European FENICE project aims to develop battery boxes that are recyclable, lightweight and fire resistant.
