Development of Multifunctional Nanofibre Composite Membranes for Air Filtration (NANOFILT)

 

Project no.: 101244481

Project description:

NANOFILT tackles air polution by developing next-generation nanofibre composite membranes for more efficient, durable, and cost-effective air filtration. The project will design and characterize new composites, build predictive models, and validate performance in real-world settings, combining lab work with computational modelling and an industry secondment. Outcomes will include improved filtration solutions for residential, industrial, and automotive uses.

Project funding:

EU Research and Innovation Funding Programme “Horizon Europe”


Project results:

The project will involve extensive laboratory work, computational modelling and performance testing.
This MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship will greatly enhance the researcher’s career by providing advanced nanomaterial synthesis and characterization skills, expertise in computational modelling of advanced materials, experience in translating research into practical applications and opportunities for interdisciplinary/intersectoral collaboration. The project outcomes will be improved air quality solutions with potential applications in residential, industrial and automotive sectors.
