| Description: | THE SUPREME CONSORTIUM WILL DEVELOP A PLATFORM OF EFFICIENT AND MULTIFUNCTIONAL ANTIMICROBIAL NANOCOATINGS, BUILDING UPON BESPOKE TIO2 NANOPARTICLES THAT HAVE DEMONSTRATED EXCEPTIONAL ANTIMICROBIAL ABILITY AT LAB SCALE (TRL3). BEARING IN MIND THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF INDIVIDUAL APPLICATIONS, THE SUPREME CONSORTIUM WILL IMPLEMENT CONSISTENT CONDITIONS FOR ANTIMICROBIAL TESTINGS TO MAXIMISE ITS EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST A WIDE RANGE OF PATHOGENS. THE PRODUCTION OF THE SUPREME COATINGS WILL FOLLOW A SUSTAINABLE-BY-DESIGN APPROACH THAT CONSIDERS BOTH TOXICITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FROM OUTSET TO GUARANTEE BOTH MARKET ACCEPTANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE OVERALL PROCESS WHILST HAVING A ROBUST SAFETY ASSURANCE IN PLACE FOR HUMAN HEALTH . THE SCALING-UP PRODUCTION OF THESE SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS AND THEIR VALIDATION ACCORDING TO THE INDUSTRIAL REQUIREMENTS WILL ENABLE TO REACH THE TRL6 BY THE END OF THE PROJECT. |
