Circular Economy in Action: Developing Sustainable Dielectric Composites from Waste-Building Collaborative Networks for Horizon Europe Funding and Impact
People Involved
Project Description
It is aimed to offer lightweight, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional dielectric materials, which are often made from heavy ceramics or synthetic polymers. It could have applications in next-generation energy storage technologies, where the demand for efficient, high-performance materials that are also sustainable is rapidly growing.
