OYSTER: Open characterisation and modelling environment to drive innovation in advanced nano-architectured and bio-inspired hard/soft interfaces
OYSTER uses contact mechanics to bridge adhesion data at multiple length scales and link interfacial adhesion to physicochemical properties.
OYSTER brings Europe’s first-class laboratories and SMEs to take existing nanoscale characterisation technologies towards widespread utilisation in process optimisation and model validation.
OYSTER achieves this by sharing metadata in an Open Innovation Environment (OIE), where new paradigms of multi-scale contact mechanics are validated on selected application oriented reference materials through continuous interaction with the European Materials Characterisation Council (EMCC)
This project started on the 1st December 2017, it is an European large collaborative Project (NMBP-07-2017 – 3,99 M Euro – Grant Agreement 760827). The project Consortium is coordinated by the University “Roma Tre”, with the participation of 15 members from Academia, Research and Industry.
