Plasma Coatings as Sustainable-by-Design Adhesion Primers in Multi-Material Laminates - PlasmaCoLa

Project summary

• Rationale / Needs to be addressed: adhesion primers are of crucial interest for the multi-material laminates industry. Their use is critical and gives flexibility to the lamination process and product design. After the product’s end-of-life, all these production benefits impede product’s recycling. • Objectives: development of sustainable-by-design adhesion primers and adherent artificial solid electrolyte interfaces to increase solid-state battery cyclability. • Potential applications: plasma deposition of adhesion promoters based on products derived from the chemical upcycling of mixed plastic wastes. Conceived to provide an on-demand debonding interface, the primers aim at facilitating the end-of-life recycling of multilayered packaging. • Impact and potential benefits: change to a circular economy model by promoting collaboration between local companies with similar objectives and contributing to the application of good practices and the use of resources.
