INNOSMART PROJECT
INNOSMART PROJECT
The project proposes to develop a revolutionary coating that will be able to alter and
control the mechanical properties of materials by external stimuli. This novel coating will
be able to contribute to the stiffness and rigidity of an elastic metallic structure, to
withstand the expected loading conditions safely, to enhance the integrity of a damaged
structure and at the same time to protect it from corrosion.
Increase Integrity
Corrosion
IINNOSMART PROJECT
The novel coating is based on SMA technology and it is aimed at changing the life span of
engineering structures in various sectors and in everyday life, for example bridges,
airplanes, etc.
Improving the integrity of structures before or during their in-service life is an innovative
attempt that will bring a breakthrough to material sciences and engineering, as well as
to structural design.

THE CONSORTIUM
CRANFIELD, CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY, UK
The“Research and Development Centre of Vibro-Acoustics”
headed by Prof. Gelman is one of the UKs and worldwide leading
condition monitoring research centres.
UOI, UNIVERSITY OF IOANNINA, EL
The Materials, Smart Sensors and Non-destructive Evaluation (MSS-NDE) Laboratory of
the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, has proven an experience in the
area of non-destructive evaluation and characterization of advanced materials.
SUN, SECOND UNIVERSITY OF NAPLES, IT
The group of Innovative technologies for environment protection from pollution and sustainable
resource use, Second University of Naples, underlines interests in multidisciplinary research topics,
focusing on their application in real problems. Mass transfer in gas-solid fluidised beds, gas-liquid
absorption, solid dissolution, reaction kinetics, crystallization, adsorption and fluidization have
been the main investigation sectors. Moreover, flue gas desulphurization from thermal power
plants and micro-pollutant removal from waste incinerator exhaust gas have been studied, by using
both catalytic and not catalytic processes .
EXIS, EXIS INNOVATION LTD, UK
