Advanced materials, composites and additive manufacturing for high-demanding sectors: discuss with REPOXYBLE on their state-of-the-art, case studies and IPR management at NanoInnovarion 2025

 

REPOXYBLE will be at the NanoInnovation Conference and Exhibition 2025, with a dedicated booth and co-organizing the session High-performance multifunctional materials in aerospace, automotive and energy (18th September, 11:30-15:30, Rome and online) alongside its partner Airi – Italian Association for Industrial Research and ENEA – Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development.

 

The session aims to discuss the opportunities and new technology trends of advanced materials for application in sectors requiring high-end performances or having strict quality requirements, such as the REPOXYBLE case studies.

The focus will be on developments of composites and additive manufacturing materials and components toward more lightweight, multifunctional, cost-effective, and sustainable applications for aerospace, automotive, energy and beyond.

Case studies of novel applications originating from public-private cooperation will be illustrated, including a discussion on efficient cooperation and on intellectual property aspects in technology development.

 

The session includes talks from research and industry, and it is open to large industries, SMEs, startups, research organizations involved in material design and manufacturing willing to meet, share and discuss opportunities for future collaborations.

The session is divided into two parts:

 

Part I (11:30-13:00): Multifunctional, high performance, recyclable composite materials

Chair: Andrea Porcari (Airi)

Advanced composites display enhanced physical and chemical properties, allowing for lightweight tailored physical-chemical properties, thus multi-functional and high performant even in extreme applications and with applications in various sectors. Introducing biobased components, developing more efficient processes, exploring reuse and recycling technologies are some of the most innovative routes explored in the field. Starting from the REPOXYBLE experience, PART I will highlight case studies, as well as will discuss the importance of managing IPR issues to facilitate public-private cooperation in the field.

Part II (14:00-15:30): Advanced materials and processes for Additive manufacturing

Chair: Giovanni Di Girolamo, Giuseppe Barbieri (ENEA)

Additive manufacturing technologies (AM) are constantly growing over the recent years and can be considered competitive with traditional manufacturing processes for applications characterized by low production volumes, high level of customization and complex geometries.

Advanced 3D printing technologies and related products, based on innovative and high-performance materials (metals, techno-polymers, composites), are emerging as very promising solutions in key industrial sectors, i.e. aerospace, automotive, energy, biomedical. The relationship between microstructure and final properties of 3D-printed components is of paramount importance to unlock the full potential of AM.
