Description
In this study, advanced polymer composite materials with selected additive components will be developed, manufactured and tested that provide dual functionality: radiation shielding and dosimetric properties under conditions of use in the space, medical and defense sectors.
The Achievable Results
The goal of the project: developed material with dual functionality, completed performance evaluation of the developed material and achieved TRL 3.
The Anticipated Benefit
The project creates "smart protection“ that directly enhances human safety in three essential sectors. In medicine these composite materials will enable more precise cancer treatment by shielding healthy organs while controlling the radiation dose delivered to tumors. In space exploration the long-term missions to the Moon or Mars will be made safer and more cost-effective by replacing heavy traditional protective equipment with lightweight polymers. Furthermore, this technology ensures first aid providers and defense personnel with integrated real-time monitoring in hazardous areas, replacing bulky equipment with wearable protective gear.
As a result, by transitioning from toxic materials like lead to sustainable dual-function polymers, this research strengthens global health, protects critical infrastructure and promotes environmentally friendly manufacturing.
The Allocated Funding
190,000 EUR due March 18, 2026.
