Description: Paper and board are made from renewable resources and are low carbon footprint materials, therefore giving them an environmental advantage compared to other materials. However, in packaging applications, paper and board are nearly always used in combination with non renewable materials; e.g. barrier materials derived from oil based plastics or aluminium. To give the forest industry a competitive edge this Action will focus on packaging solutions based entirely on renewable resources in order to remove the serious disadvantages associated with future paper and board packaging solutions that continue to rely on non renewable materials. The Action will explore possibilities that the forest itself can offer as a raw material base for different components within a given package, thus exploring the full potential of the fibres. The Action is an opportunity and a strategic objective for the forest sector value chain and will reduce environmental impact thus making it of potentially great importance for contributing to European policy. To fully understand the benefits it is important to assess the solutions from a sustainability point-of-view taking account of the total packaging value chain. That is why the Action also addresses research in e.g. value chain efficiency, end-of-life and supply of raw material.

Description: Znanstveni ciljevi projekta se odnose na definiranje postupaka i metoda za kvalitativno poboljšanje prehrambene ambalaže proizvedene od vlaknatih materijala, a u smislu zdravstvene ispravnosti i sigurnosti ambalažiranih prehrambenih namirnica. Ambalažni materijali za prehrambene namirnice moraju ispuniti visoke zahtjeve zdravstvene ispravnosti samih namirnica. Potencijalni kontaminanti iz ambalaže koji predstavljaju opasnost narušavanja zdravlja konzumenata ili koji mogu utjecati na promjenu organoleptičkih svojstva namirnica, ne smiju doći u kontakt s namirnicom niti u nju migrirati. Štetni kontaminanti mogu primjerice migrirati iz tiskarskih boja i lakova koji se tiskaju na površinu prehrambene ambalaže ili se mogu nalaziti u strukturi samog ambalažnog materijala iz prethodnih ciklusa, te u slučaju direktnog ili čak indirektnog kontakta s prehrambenom namirnicom, mogu je kontaminirati.
Short description of the task performed by Croatian partner: Planirani zadaci za znanstvenu grupu s GRF su karakterizacija proizvedenih uzoraka, ispitivanje efikasnosti provedenih deinking flotacija, kovencionalnih i modificiranih, te dijagnosticiranje i kvalificiranje ostvarenih poboljšanja. Težište ispitivanja hrvatskih znanstvenika je ispitivanje zdravstvene ispravnosti definirano proizvedenih vlaknatih materijala: određivanje prisutnosti kontaminanata teških metala, pentaklorofeonola, formaldehida, aromatskih amina, diizopropilnaftalena, ftalata i poliklorin bifenila, fluorescentnih bjelila, te provođenje mikrobioloških testova za detektiranje antimikrobnih konstituenata. Nanošenje mikrobarijernih slojeva za sprječavanje migracije kontaminanata u prehrambene namirnice će se također dijelom provoditi na GRF. Ispitivanja takvih kompozitnih materijala zahtijevat će dodatno usavršavanje postupaka ispitivanja zdravstvene ispravnosti budući da prema preporučenim kriterijima svi slojevi, tj. svaki pojedinačni sloj kompozitnog ambalažnog materijala mora bit zdravstveno ispravan. Prilikom posjete njemačkih znanstvenika provodit će se edukacija i posjeta suradničkim institucijama u Hrvatskoj kao i obrada podataka prikladnim metodama.

Description: The goal of this Action is to promote discussion on the benefits that may be achieved from novel combinations of print and digital. It will also be used to enhance innovations that will make use of the benefits of both print and electronic media as well as innovations where print and electronic media are combined. Several examples exist where successful combinations have been achieved e.g. through the use of image recognition, augmented reality or printed electronics to bring interactivity into fiber based products. To give the forest industry a competitive edge this Action will focus on new innovations by combining knowledge of the end users with most recent technological achievements. New models of ongoing change in social interaction and in the cultural products of paper and electronic media will be elaborated and proposed. The results will promote critical and theoretical discussion on the changing meanings of contemporary media culture. The Action will explore new business opportunities for the fiber based products and the value chains of print media and packaging through novel, innovative uses. It will also serve as a channel for communication between industry and academia, thus contributing to the development of new commercial applications.

Short description of project: Tijekom procesa plošnog tiska, tiskovna forma načinjena od aluminija, nalazi se u stalnom kontaktu s otopinom za vlaženje i bojilom. Nedvojbeno je da se u takvim sustavima stvaraju galvanski članci, budući da su u kontaktu materijali različitog elektrodnog potencijala.Takvi uvjeti procesa tiska mogu uzrokovati koroziona oštećenja same tiskovne forme što u konačnici može uzrokovati smanjenje kakvoće otiska, a time i konačnog produkta. Istraživanja u okviru ovog projekta obuhvatila bi koroziona ispitivanja i utvrđivanje mehanizma korozije i kinetike korozije pri čemu će se koristiti suvremene elektrokemijske metode: ciklička voltametrija, impedancijska spektroskopija. Za snimanje površina koristi će se SEM i EDS metoda, te fraktalna analiza. Za polarizacijska mjerenja koristit će se klasični trielektrodni sustav i Tacusselova polatizacijska ćelija. Za potenciodinamička mjerenja i za mjerenja impedancije koristit će se Solatron 1287 Electrochemical Interface, te 1250 Frequency response analyzer. Obada dobivenih rezultata vršit će se programskom opremom Scribner Associates INC. (CorrWare, CorrView, Z-View i Z-Pot)
