About the Horizon-funded NewSkin project: 

NewSkin is a H2020 funded Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB), which aims to support the development and market acceleration of new surface & membrane functionalisation by nanotechnologies, generating a wide range of enhanced surface properties for commercial and personal products in different sectors. 

The NewSkin test bed offers users open access to state-of-the-art facilities for adding, upscaling, characterising and/or accelerated rigorous testing of advanced high-performance surface functionality (such as hydrophobicity, anti-fouling, anti-reflecting, auto-cleaning, anti-corrosive, anti-icing, anti-microbial, anti-friction, hard-wearing, and lubrication) through nanotechnologies.

The NewSkin range of upscaling, testing, validation, and route-to-market services for nano-enhanced liquid and powder coatings, nano-enabled water membranes, industrial components, functional ceramics, nano-enabled foils, envelops, films and packaging will accelerate the use of nanotechnology in Europe, bringing new functionalities, better performances and higher efficiencies to a range of commercial and personal products. Route-to-market services include Life Cycle Analysis, nano safety assessment, business planning and networking.

Resulting solutions will provide materials protection, water-treatment, advanced functionalities, tribological applications, fuel savings in transport, energy savings in pumps, engines, actuators etc., impacting society and key industrial sectors and aiding the EU green transition.
