Editorial
2014 was a year of change in the EMRA landscape. The main changes included the new
European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) programming period, the new European
framework, the election of a new European Parliament, the double amendment of the
decree on support for research, development and innovation in Wallonia, amendments to
the General Block Exemption Regulation and the new Community Framework for State
Aid for Research and Development and Innovation.
Change means adaptation and therefore challenges, some of which were already met in
2014 through effective coordination of action within EMRA.
Preparation for the new ERDF programming period, which started within EMRA in 2013,
has led to the submission of 54 projects in 20 portfolios, over half of which involve at least
one intra-EMRA partnership. The results have just come as the report on these activities
goes to press, rewarding the joint effort of the teams of EMRA partners, with over 70% of
projects earmarked for an expected success rate of one third on submission in May 2014.
The transformation of our unincorporated association into a non-profit organisation, made
necessary by the amendment of the decree on support for research, development and
innovation in Wallonia in early 2014, has been called into question by the election of a new
European Parliament. The public authorities have deemed the added value of this change to
be negligible when compared with that of the strong association itself. The important point
is to provide better legibility/visibility of the activity of accredited Research Centres, both
in Wallonia and internationally. They have therefore decided to promote associations,
provided that they make sense and without making it compulsory to formalise them.
This change in approach has not dulled the enthusiasm of EMRA partners to move forward
together in order to be prepared to face the new challenges awaiting them.
The work of research centres is going to have to adapt to the move towards an intelligent
strategy of specialisation that favours each centre's efforts having a more immediate impact
on economic development, an open-mindedness towards the international scene and in a
context of an economy of means. Both the nature of calls for projects (guidance, collective
research, etc.) and their scope are undergoing changes, the European dimension having
become inescapable. Our teams have already been preparing themselves for some time by
stepping up participation in European, transregional and industrial projects (Marshall plan,
C-WALITY, ERA-NET, etc.).

NEW PROJECTS
ALTI2DE
AlTi2De aims at preparing the second
generation
of
environmentally-compliant
coatings for steel components in the aeronautic
sector, which is the most demanding in terms
of safety and quality management. Thus, the
results are a benchmark for other sectors, such
as automotive, infrastructure and transporting,
provided that the production costs are kept in
mind. Strategically, it is proposed to develop
technical coatings which have the potential to
act as substitutes for both critical coating
processes/materials
by
achieving
the
appropriate levels of wear and corrosion
resistance simultaneously.
In order to
accomplish these aims, different coating
processes and materials will be investigated
and combined for optimum results. As
Cadmium substitutes, Al and AlMn based
coatings, produced by thermal spraying,
galvanic deposition, PVD and CVD
techniques, will be developed as
more
environmental
solution for Cd in order to
provide long lasting corrosion protection to the
underlying steel parts. The substitution of hard
Cr from Cr(VI) electrolytes on steel
components, submitted to wear constraints,
will be developed via thermal spraying of
carbides embedded in a “green” Co-free
matrix, via electrodeposition of Cr from Cr(III)
electrolytes and via thin film techniques
generating carbides, nitrides and DLC
coatings.
ANTIAD
Corrosion, erosion and caking are wide spread
problems in power plants, caused by
aggressive flue ashes with corrosive
components such as sulfur, chlorine, alkali
based low melting point
salts.
The
innovative
concept proposed in this
research project combines
structured (gradient of
composition and porosity) thermal sprayed
coatings with a covering sol-gel layer to be
used in energy power plants. NiCr- and FeCralloys based thermal sprayed coatings
including targeted hard materials like Crcarbides will provide a suitable corrosion and
erosion protection whereas the thin sol-gel
layer combined with the structure of thermal
sprayed coatings will reduce the sticking
ability of aggressive liquid or liquid/solid flue
ashes.
6
The combination of porous and rough thermal
spray layer with a composite sol gel/particles
top layer will result in the formation of a
bimodal roughness and an anti-adhesive lotus
effect : the roughness at a micrometer range
will avoid sticking of large particles and a
submicron roughness to avoid sticking of
fines. Furthermore erosion at these coatings
will not lead to a loss of function. Indeed a
rather thick interphase will be created as the
sol gel will penetrate the thermal sprayed
layer porosity. This will provide a kind of
reservoir which will allow maintaining the
anti-adhesive properties despite erosion.
BIOCOAT
Due to the climate change debate and the
awareness of the finite nature of fossil fuels,
organic polymer materials based on fossil
fuels are intended to be increasingly
substituted by polymers based on renewable
resources.
The goal
of
this
project is
to check
out, in which field of coating application
which biopolymers could substitute
conventional polymers considering costeffectiveness. Since coatings for interior
application (e.g. wall paints) do not have to
correspond to the highest performance level,
the probability to meet economic as well as
functional demands by substituting the
polymer basis is best for such paints. Thus
this project focuses on the development of
some cost-effective biopolymer matrices,
which will be used for formulating coatings
for different interior applications. These
coatings will be characterized and optimized
regarding their use-oriented demands
considering cost-effectiveness. The project
intends to generate prototypical coatings by
two work processes. One process aims at the
biopolymer material itself, its selection and
its modification. The latter implies
potentially necessary purifications or
fractionations as well as reactions with other
reasonably priced compounds. This could
result in an applicable biopolymer material
meeting the demands of interior coating
matrices regarding mechanical and chemical
stability, adhesion and compatibility with
pigments and additives to be introduced.
BLACK-COATING
In response to ESA ITT N° AO7739, CRPGabriel Lippmann, Materia Nova and Thales
Alenia Space submitted to ESA a joined
proposal regarding the developpement of
innovative
materials
for superblack lowweigth/cost baffles. The main
EMRA knowledge to the development of the
project are : Formulation of sol-gel coatings
(water or solvent based) for different
applications, background related with the
functionalization
and
dispersion
of
nanoparticles, formulation of composite sol gel
coatings through the incorporation of
nanoparticles into a sol-gel matrix for different
applications (depending on the type of
nanoparticles), techniques related to surface
structuration for different applications as
photonic surfaces, adhesives, easy-to-clean or
self-cleaning surfaces, optical strategy for
developing of Black and Super-Black coating.

HYLIFE
SELECTPERM
Storage and electrochemical energy restitution
is one of best management routes of energy
resources. Indeed, in a context of rarefaction of
fossil fuels and of renewable energy
development, the ability to store electrical
energy and return it with strong returns appears
as a long-term solution to sustainable
development. Among all the types of existing
cells, solid polymer electrolyte cells (Proton
Exchange Membrane, or PEM) hydrogen / air
At present, micro- and nano-perforated plastic
films, as well as high-barrier materials, are
used to package foodstuffs. None of these
materials is optimised for foodstuffs that need
to breathe, such as vegetables, fruit and some
cheeses. Perforated materials do not allow for
selectivity or control of gas exchange, while
the modified atmosphere used with highbarrier materials does not account for the
breathability of foodstuffs, which are therefore
at risk of anoxia. SELECTPERM's goal is to
develop packaging with selective O2/CO2
permeability
for
the
packaging of
fresh products.
are one of the most versatile, and therefore
suitable for both mobile and stationary
applications. The project is based on previous
results obtained in the INNOPEM project.
HYLIFE project will adress all elements of the
fuel cell. Thus, regarding the catalyst, the
focus will be on changing the chemistry /
surface crystallinity of the materials and
manufacturing core-shell bimetallic catalysts
(Co-Pt, basically). Regarding membranes,
polystyrene membranes sulfonated highly
fluorinated, may have a chemical resistance
superior to existing materials. This will be
optimized and the deposition method adapted.
Finally, the bipolar plates coated steel, research
leave the results with PVD coatings (type
CrxN) whose resistance to deformation and
corrosion after drawing will be a comparison
reference. The complementary approach,
concerns the steel filing polymeric films
(possibly doped conductive nanoparticles) by
electro-polymerization. The literature has
shown that such an approach is feasible, even
if the films deposited by this approach are not
yet perfect.
The materials
used in the
project will be biosourced and/or recyclable
materials, with a view to developing durable
packaging materials: paper coated with
selectively permeable film and materials made
entirely from polymers (multilayer and
polymer blend).

NEW PROJECTS
CARACEC
The aim of this project is to develop a
procedure allowing a simple, effective and
inexpensive characterization of the clay
fraction of the grounds and sedimentary rocks
whatever the content and the nature of the clay.
A characterization of clay materials is essential
both in civil engineering, in the ceramic
industry and also in the environmental field.
The
qualitative
and
quantitative
characteriz
ation
of
clays helps
to understand and therefore to provide essential
properties such as the potential of
shrinkage/swelling, the plasticity and the
impermeability. This project targets an easy
methodology available for a large number of
laboratories adapted to the great variability of
the grounds and sediments and whose results
would be precise and relevant. Our study will
be based on the cation exchange capacity
(CEC), a technique reliable with the
mineralogical composition and some important
properties like the shrinkage/swelling and
plasticity of clays according to their humidity
amount.
In addition to the variability of soils that have
to be characterized, the challenge of
CARACEC lies in the difficulty of combining
the various procedure steps without including
any modifications of the CEC by the batch
sampling and the sample pretreatments.
MOULFRIT
Traditionally, processes used to manufacture
ceramic molds for metal casting require several
and long stages. These processes are therefore
unadapted or too expensive for small series or
prototyping. This can be a limitation for users,
such as SMEs or development
units, bound to use only mechanical machining
in this field.
Additive manufacturing of ceramics enables
faster (by the reduction of intermediate stages)
but also more complex mold production. This
technology could be a real benefit for the
ceramic mold production as it gives the
possibility to control precisely the mold shape
in order to ensure a good mechanical support
and to manage thermal tranfers which, if
uncontrolled, might generate residual defects
in the casting parts.
The purpose of this project is to get the best
from both processes - metal casting (large
choice of casting alloys, saving of material and
machining) and additive manufacturing of
ceramics (near-net shaping of complex parts,
faster than traditional machining) - leading to a
positive impact for the environment by saving
energy and raw materials.
SHAPESPS
The SPS technology knows an increasing
interest in recent years. It provides an ultra-fast
consolidation of ceramic and / or metallic
powders by combining pressure and heat
treatment by Joule effect (high intensity pulsed
current passing through die and punches). The
rapidity of the process (average cycle time of
30 min) leads, in most cases, to a maintain of
a fine microstructure for a bulk density close
to the theoretical
density of the
materials and to a
reduction of the
power consumed
per
unit
of
produced material, in the order of 60-75%.
More powerful equipments with an improved
productivity and offering hybrid heating modes
are now available to sinter large parts but with
relatively simple shapes, limiting the use of
this disruptive technology in an industrial
environment.
11
The SHAPESPS project aims at offering a
viable solution for the consolidation by Spark
Plasma Sintering of new products (ceramics or
materials from the powder metallurgy)
presenting complex shapes. The proposed
solution to be developed will allow benefiting
from the advantages of this technology without
any modification of the SPS equipment. The
deliverable of the project will be guidelines
to the attention of industries allowing a proper
selection of the raw materials, the
determination of the optimal design for green
parts and the assessment of the acceptable
degree of complexity in order to obtain, after
sintering, an object with the desired
dimensions for types of materials that can
hardly be sintered in another way than by SPS.
Otherwise, a dedicated software will also be
developed to optimize the preparation of
complex shapes for sintering.
tensile test which requires a perfect alignment
of all setting load line and a machining of the
sample with particular design. Concerning the
splitting test, already standardized in the civil
engineering sector, is widely used to quantify
the tensile strength of concretes in this field.
This test is easy to implement and enables a
more reliable determination of the tensile
strength than bending tests. Therefore this test
method could usefully complement the
standard framework dedicated to refractory
materials. The goal of this pre-standardized
project is to establish a robust protocol of
splitting test applicable to refractories. The
manufacturers could improve their data sheets
on mechanical resistances and installers / users
could enhance their choice criteria for one
material compared to another one in terms of
mechanical strength.
PHOEBUS
RESISTRACT
A good knowledge of mechanical properties of
refractory materials is necessary to ensure the
safety and sustainability of systems submitted
to severe and multiple conditions. Currently,
the mechanical behavior of these materials is
characterized by standardized tests of
compression and bending. The weakness of
this approach is the determination of the tensile
strength through bending tests. During such a
test, the stress field is non uniform in the
material, so not
really
representative of
that present in a
pure tensile test.
However,
the
material
destruction
is
achieved
when
this material is
subjected to a
higher stress than its tensile strength. The
bending test is widely used because its
implementation is easier than those of a pure
The transformation of organic ultimate waste
(plastics, rubbers, foams , etc.) into synthetic
fuels is an area of growing interest in the
continuous search for alternative energy
solutions. The development of this new
business is supported by the creation of
industrial production units. The current quality
of those synthetic fuels only allows their
dilution with crude oil to supply the
petrochemical industry. Based on the results
generated by the Phoenix project (Marshall
Plan), the Phoebus project targets the
production of higher quality fuels through an
integrated process including a purification step
(patented innovation). The improved fuels
quality will make them appropriate to be
directly injected into co-generation engines
specifically modified to optimize the energy
consumption (higher net electrical efficiency
of about 45%) and to minimize the
environmental impact (low emissions). This
Phoebus project was submitted to Mecatech
competitiveness pole by Comet Traitements
SA and Coretec engineering SA in partnership
with Certech and ULB.

NEW PROJECTS
CAPTINDOOR
FILTRA-N
The aim of the project is the VOCs detection –
particularly formaldehyde and acetaldehyde –
in order to quantify indoor air quality. In this
context, the partners will elaborate microsensors for measuring those pollutants, which
could help to make arrangements in order to
limit passive exposure (choice of building
materials) or active exposure (ventilation,
filtration systems installation). The sensor
should
give both
an
optical
and
electrical
response.
The
transduction method will be based on using a
periodic array of out-of-plane metallic
microcantilevers. This method is inspired from
the microblind® system developed by the
National Research Council of Canada and used
for producing opaque or transparent windows
at will. The micro-beams are covered by a
sensible coating whose volume or weight can
be changed by gases adsorption or absorption:
their curvature can be therefore modified and
by the same, their spacing from the substrate.
Wastewater
treatment
companies
are
increasingly
often
choosing
cleaning
technologie called “extensive” (natural
treatments without mechanical intervention)
instead of “intensive” technologies.
The
choice of these «extensive» technologies
allows reducing investment and operating
costs. Moreover, it is robust and easy to
operate technologies.
Vertical and horizontal flow reed bed filters
occupy an important position in the market for
"extensive" processes. The vertical flow reed
bed filter is singularly known for nitrification
performance while the horizontal flow filter is
distinguished by its ability to denitrificate.
Studies regarding combination of these two
filters (such as serial connection with/without
internal recirculation, etc.) have been
conducted.
14
The FILTRA-N project’s goals are to design
and validate a filter consisting of a
superposition of a vertical flow reed bed filter
above a horizontal flow filter (reducing the
floor space required in comparison to other
configurations) and having good purification
performances (in accordance with directive
91/271
to
<10
000
per
capita).
WATERPOP
The project targets the improvement of the
water quality during or at the end of
purification treatments, by the implementation
of an advanced oxidation process. It is part of
an environmental and public health policy for
the
abatement
of persistent
organic
micropollutants having a known "endocrine
disrupters" effect. The process is based on the
mineralization
of
traces
of
organic
micropollutants
such
as
pesticides
(groundwater) or active pharmaceutical
ingredients (surface water) and uses the
photocatalytic properties of TiO2 (anatase).
This approach should allow the degradation of
(a)polar molecules resistant to conventional
wastewater treatments with activated carbon
for example, or requiring the use of
nanofiltration, expensive and energy intensive.

SERVICES FOR BUSINESSES
EMRA assists companies in developing and
promoting technological innovation. Concrete
solutions, in-depth assistance and technical
advice are provided by teams with recognised
skills and knowledge. Technological platforms are
also made available to companies.
The EMRA teams are the first points of contact for
firms wishing to improve their processes or develop
new products. Business assistance projects include
feasibility studies, support and collaboration on
research projects, the transfer of technologies or new
processes, help with writing up new specifications etc.
In 2014, a patent for a technology for laser machining
unfired
ceramics
(PCT/EP2012/060261)
was
transferred to operations in Wallonia.
The provided services consist of technological audit of problems associated with processes or
products, and guidance on obtaining technological skills. This guidance is supported by technology
forecasting, which enables experts to stay permanently up to date on the scientific and technical
progress made within their fields which present a high potential for industrial innovation.
The working group specifically formed to help businesses is tasked with promoting
collaboration synergies. Joint participation in certain trade shows and joint meetings with
manufacturers have made it possible to offer a broader range of resources and services in EMRA's
three areas of expertise.
Since 2010, 1076 businesses have received support, including 138 from at least two EMRA
partner centres. Half of these businesses are very small enterprises or SMEs. One hundred and fortyone new businesses received support with their innovation process in 2014.
Distribution of requests:
47 % Materials
19 % Process
34 % Environment
In 2014, 20 business guidance and recognition projects were supported by public funds
(guidance funded by the Walloon Region, FPS Economy of Belgium and ERDF). These projects cover
EMRA’s three areas of activity (Materials, Processes and the Environment).
