The goal of the two-year Numobio project (Advanced NUmerical MOdelling for rapid development of BIOcomposite applications) running within the ExpandFibre Ecosystem is to take a significant leap in order to digitalise biocomposite design for rapid and inexpensive development of new materials and products for a wide range of industry sectors.
While VTT will focus on developing a material modeling tool set according to real life needs of company use cases and create multiscale modeling chain from molecular and microscale level to component and system-level analysis, Tampere University will develop single fibre testing with microrobotics.
The aim in the development of microrobotic single fibre testing is to have a deeper understanding of the fibre and fibre-matrix interface properties.
