Welcome to the Nanohybrid project

This web site is dedicated to the NANOHYBRID project, which is supported by the European Commission through the Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. It addresses the NMP Thematic Priority (NMP3-CT-2005-516972). It started on the 1^st of March 2005 ans ended on 29th February 2008. 

Learning from nature, the major objective of Nanohybrid is to develop fundamental knowledge in order to be able to elaborate new melt processable nanophase-separated hybrid materials with controlled architecture, derived from low cost petrochemical olefin feedstocks without sacrificing easy polymer melt processing. In contrast to most current nanocomposites, where mainly physical bonding between nanofiller and matrix are obtained, the NANOHYBRID project will strive for combining chemical and physical bonding which would allow a real breakthrough in material’s properties.
