RTD LABORATORIES – CASE STUDY #1 RTD SILVER Need Solving the tarnishing silver problem, with particular emphasis on the filigree, which has caused a considerable decrease in Portuguese exports (in Japan, the volume has decreased around 60%). Strategy RTD project in consortia with IPN and filigree producer Ferreira Marques & Irmãos, co-funded by National Innovation Agency (ADI). Results A type of silver-based coating that can prevent the tarnished surface, chemicals agents action and adds resistance wear. Protection process that does not change the material chemistry base composition. Piece tests at real scale.
RTD LABORATORIES – CASE STUDY #3 SMARTCATCH – FP 7 Need · Development of a novel remote stress sensing system to increase safety, efficiency and to reduce environmental effects in fishing and mooring applications, contributing to improve the sector’s competitiveness. Strategy · Research for SMEs: 13 partners: Instituto Pedro Nunes + HERI (UK) + Tech Institut (Norway) – Univ. de Gdansk (Pol) – Fishing Associations (Scotish, German, Norwegian) + SME producers of ropes and fishing materials (UK, Scotland) + SME from aquaculture sector (Italy) Results · New products · Decrease the energetic expenditures of ship · Increase safety in fishing activities · Decrease fish losses due to failure of cages anchorage RTD
RTD LABORATORIES – ORGANIZATIONAL MODEL RTD - Scientific Director – researcher from the University of Coimbra -Executive Director – IPN’s staff - Regular Collaboration from R&D Institutions (mainly UC) - Increased Market Oriented Research - Increased professional support on: Commercial, Intellectual Property, Financial Issues(through common services)
