Advanced Materials for a Modern, Advanced and Sustainable Society



Advanced Materials for a Modern, Advanced and Sustainable Society

Composite materials, which the Western Balkans countries know little about and which are used in the industry of the European Union, in accordance with the general care for the environment, are the subject of the project coordinated by the University of Montenegro.

This is a two-year project Composites for All - Advanced Materials for a Modern, Improved and Sustainable Society, partly funded by the Central European Initiative through the Knowledge Exchange Program.

"The idea of ​​the project is to transfer knowledge about composite materials from partners from the European Union to partners from the Western Balkans." The experts come from Italy, from the universities of Bologna and Camerino, as well as from Slovenia, from the University of Ljubljana ", explains prof. Dr. Jelena Sakovic Jovanovic, the project team member.

Composite materials represent various materials that are tightly merged in order to obtain materials with better physical and chemical characteristics than individual ones. Knowledge about these materials and their application is transferred through the project in accordance with the international current situation in this field and the needs of the industrial sector.

The participants in the project from Montenegro are Technopolis and the University of Montenegro, as the coordinator, i.e. its organizational units: the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the Faculty of Metallurgy and Technology and the Faculty of Maritime Studies. In addition to partners from the EU, partners from the Western Balkans are the University of Sarajevo, the University of Banja Luka, the Regional Chamber of Commerce Banja Luka and the University of St. Cyril and Methodius in Skopje.

Also, through this project, it will be possible to transfer knowledge about some other interesting topics related to composites, such as: fiber hybridization; mineral fibers from sustainable extraction processes; natural fibers from agricultural waste; plastics derived from bacteria, biodegradable plastics.

"All of these are topics that are directly or indirectly related to the general care for the environment." "Topics such as eco-sustainable production, recycling or reuse of composites, fiber extraction, circular economy and many others, are certainly very topical keywords that drive the most relevant research in the field of composites in Europe," concludes Sakovic Jovanovic.

The value of this project whose implementation began in March 2021, is 80,000 euros.
