NARPY - Nano-Reinforced Polypropylene Multifilament Yarns

Co-financed by Greece and European Union

Co‐financed by the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union and Greek national funds through the Operational Program Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, under the call "Industrial Materials" (project code: 00035)

Description of the project

The Research Project NARPY is implemented through the Operational Program Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, under the call INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS (project code: T6YBP 00035) with the co‐financing of the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union and Greek national funds. The main objective of the project is the development of nanocomposite Polypropylene multifilament yarns with increased mechanical and thermal properties that can be industrially produced. The investigation of the relation between the production process, the structure and the properties of the nanocomposite fibers and of the possible synergy between the various additives and nano-reinforcing agents are, also, objectives of the project. The results of the NARPY project are expected to be particularly interesting both from a scientific and practical point of view. Moreover, they are expected to bring significant economic benefits to the participating companies and increase their competitiveness through the development of new products.
