This project aims to improve the competitiveness of the over 6500 companies that make up the plastic sector in south-west Europe, breaking down the current barriers to investment in nanotechnology. In order to do so it will concentrate on its promotion as an essential technology for the development of new plastic materials of high added value based on the use of nanomaterials. The main tool that will be developed by the project will be the NanoDesk platform which will integrate free-access Internet tools designed to help the industries to select specific types of nanomaterials that can be used for the production of nanostructured materials and to assess in an effective and solid manner the risks of these materials to health and the environment.
