The functionality of the intelligent bulk materials will be incorporated in various critical transport sector components, such as pavements, aircraft wing leading edges and car bumpers. These components will be demonstrated under relevant conditions at prototype level for the aerospace, automotive, and transport infrastructure sectors.
Project stakeholders
MASTRO multidisciplinary consortium is made of 17 partners from 6 EU countries, with a wide range of expertise: ACCIONA, ALKÈ, Applynano Solutions, ARKEMA France, AXIA Innovation, CETMA, CENTI, CITEVE, DIAD Group, Embraer Portugal, Le Centre Technique Industriel de la Plasturgie et des Composites, PINOUT Solutions, Superior Graphite Deutschland, Universitat d’ Alacant, Università degli Studi di Salerno and The University of Sheffield.
