SmartErz: Neue Generation von Werkstoffen und Systemkomponenten entsteht im Erzgebirge

 Ideen für erste Forschungsprojekte zum Aufbau des Technologie- und Wirtschaftsclusters Smart Composites eingereicht

Die Unternehmer des Erzgebirges sind aus Tradition visionär. Dieser Tradition verpflichtend hat sich ein Bündnis SmartERZ (Smart Composites Erzgebirge) von derzeit 160 Partnern aus Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft auf den Weg gemacht, um in den nächsten fünf Jahren einen innovationsgetriebenen Strukturwandel in der Region Erzgebirge zu initiieren. Das daraus entstehende Technologie- und Wirtschaftscluster im Rahmen des Programms "WIR! – Wandel durch Innovation in der Region" wird durch das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) gefördert. Die Führung des Projekts übernahm nach über zwei Jahren intensiver Vorbereitung im Sommer diesen Jahres die Wirtschaftsförderung Erzgebirge GmbH (WFE). Strategische Unterstützung erhält sie dabei vom Bündnisbeirat unter Leitung von Jana Dost, Geschäftsführerin der IHK Chemnitz, Regionalkammer Erzgebirge und der TU Chemnitz.

Interdisziplinäre Forschung ist Prämisse
SmartERZ hat die Aufgabe, die Innovationsfähigkeit der regionalen Unternehmen im Bereich der Smart Composites nachhaltig zu formen und zu stärken. Smart Composites sind neuartige Verbundwerkstoffe wie z. B. textilverstärkte Kunststoffe mit smarten, also intelligenten, Funktionen. Diese entstehen durch das Einbringen von Sensoren, Aktoren und weiteren miniaturisierten Elektronikkomponenten in unterschiedliche Materialien. Smart Composites gelten als Schlüsseltechnologie und verzeichnen ein sehr dynamisches Wachstum. Sie gehören zu den entscheidenden Treibern bei der Entstehung neuer Produkte. Funktionsintegrierte Verbundwerkstoffe machen mit ihren multifunktionalen Eigenschaften z. B. Autos leichter, Brücken sicherer oder Prothesen flexibler. Die Einsatzfelder sind aber bei weitem noch nicht erschlossen und gehen über Massenmärkte auch in absolute High-Tech Nischen der Industrie wie z. B. der Luft- und Raumfahrt. Nach Expertenschätzungen basieren bis zu 70 Prozent aller neuen Erzeugnisse auf diesen Werkstoffen.

BeSoEFFECTIVE communication concept of the CHT Group is honoured with the GWA Effie Award 2019

Since 2018 the CHT Group has broken new ground in communication with BeSoEFFECTIVE. Complex chemical interrelations are translated into simple and hardly technical words in combination with stylistically clear pictures.

The Best Solutions ”BeSo“ were specifically tailored to the communication with the target group of textile brands and retailers and do therefore not only appeal classic B2B clients but are also visible and comprehensible for end consumers of textile goods. The agency RTS Rieger Team from Leinfelden-Echterdingen that had already supported the new brand identity of the CHT Group in 2017 assisted CHT again in developing and creating the BeSoEFFECTIVE concept. One year after its publication, the communication concept has now achieved great success. BeSoEffective was honoured with the GWA Effie Award 2019 in bronze in Frankfurt am Main on 14th November.

Since 1981 the Effie has been awarded for efficiency in marketing communication by the Gesamtverband Kommunikationsagenturen GWA (general association of communication agencies). It’s not exclusively the convincing look or content of campaigns that is honoured by the jury of experts with the GWA Effie Award but it’s rather the proven success and efficiency of such ideas and campaigns. By using the BeSoEFFECTIVE communication the CHT Group has so far increased the brands’ & retailers’ demand for innovative effects by about 30 %.

with CHT products are put in a nutshell by BeSoEFFECTIVE. The brand promise BeSo (”Best Solution“) is supplemented by an effect name deriving from the corresponding functionality – BeSoCOOL, BeSoFRESH or BeSoSMOOTH. Thus, each effect of the portfolio is given a uniform yet individual branding and a clear structure. The functionality of each effect is supplemented by pronounced and symbolic pictures which visually stress the benefits.

Eric Knehr, Head of Brand & Retail Service of the CHT Group states: “To us its of utmost importance to speak our target group’s language. Therefore, our BeSoEFFECTIVE campaign focuses on a clear communication with unique pictures and a uniform effect branding. Our customers’ positive reactions and this award prove, that our strong concept optimally supports our daily work as well as market and customer demands. However, it also puts the excellent performance of our innovative and sustainable effects into the right light."

Vita Tertia Haus Limone: Mitmenschliche Pflege in heimeliger Atmosphäre

Offenburg - Der Umzug in ein Pflegeheim bedeutet einen großen Umbruch im Leben des älteren Menschen. Er verlässt nicht nur das gewohnte Zuhause, sondern begibt sich auch in die Betreuung durch andere. Ein ganzheitliches Pflege- und Einrichtungskonzept kann diesen Übergang erleichtern, wie das vollstationäre Pflegeheim Haus Limone von Vita Tertia in Offenburg beweist.

Offenburg - Der Umzug in ein Pflegeheim bedeutet einen großen Umbruch im Leben des älteren Menschen. Er verlässt nicht nur das gewohnte Zuhause, sondern begibt sich auch in die Betreuung durch andere. Ein ganzheitliches Pflege- und Einrichtungskonzept kann diesen Übergang erleichtern, wie das vollstationäre Pflegeheim Haus Limone von Vita Tertia in Offenburg beweist.

„Wir arbeiten hier als erstes Pflegeheim Deutschlands nach dem französischen Konzept der Humanitude, der zuwendungsorientierten Pflege“, erzählt Sandra Greiner, Leiterin des Haus Limone. Der von Yves Gineste und Rosette Mariscotti entwickelte Ansatz erfreut sich in Frankreich und französischsprachigen Ländern großer Beliebtheit, ist in Deutschland jedoch noch relativ unbekannt. Grundlage des Konzepts ist die Philosophie, dass der Mensch die Beziehung zu anderen Menschen braucht, um sich selbst als Mensch erfahren zu können. Entsprechend steht die Qualität der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehung im Vordergrund, ausgedrückt durch die Art mit jemandem zu sprechen, jemanden anzusehen und zu berühren. „Das bedeutet zum Beispiel, dass wir morgens mit vorsichtigen Berührungen wecken und dabei auch beachten, wie der Bewohner in der Nacht geschlafen hat“, erläutert die Heimleitung. Das Haus Limone hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Bewohner einzugehen, ihnen die Entscheidungsfreiheit zu lassen und eine alltagsbegleitende Betreuung anzubieten. Zudem sollen die Bewohner so viel und so lange wie möglich selbstständig bleiben. Dazu Sandra Greiner: „Statt den älteren Menschen zu bevormunden und ihm unnötig Aufgaben abzunehmen, geben wir ihm Zeit, die Dinge selbst zu tun. Dann dauert das Anziehen halt mal etwas länger.“

Als wichtigen Teil zwischenmenschlicher Beziehungen bietet das Haus Limone viele Möglichkeiten des Miteinanders an. So gibt es Gruppenräume und einen hellen Raum der Begegnung, der allen offen steht. Hier können die Bewohner mit ihrem Besuch zusammensitzen und ihren Geburts- oder auch Hochzeitstag feiern. Ergänzend gibt es ein breites Aktivitäten-Angebot. Besonders gut kommt das wöchentliche Bingo an und beim Besuch eines Musikers wird regelmäßig das Tanzbein geschwungen. Beliebt sind auch die altersübergreifenden Begegnungen mit dem Kindergarten des benachbarten Montessori-Zentrums. Im Rahmen dieser Kooperation kommt regelmäßig eine Gruppe Kinder im Haus Limone vorbei oder einige der Bewohner besuchen den Kindergarten. „Wir wollten eine Umgebung schaffen, in der Senioren eine neue Heimat finden können“, weiß Sandra Greiner.

Textilien schaffen farbenfrohes Wohlfühlambiente

Die Einrichtung des Hauses unterstützt den Pflegeansatz. Die Leitidee war, einen Ort mit familiärer Atmosphäre zu schaffen, an dem sich der ältere Mensch wohlfühlt. Um das Haus kleingliedriger zu gestalten, sind die 45 Einzelzimmer in drei Wohnbereiche mit je 15 Zimmern unterteilt: Arta, Deia und Inca, benannt nach drei kleinen Orten auf Mallorca. Ein jeweils in sich abgestimmtes Farbkonzept unterscheidet die einzelnen Bereiche. Auch Textilien wie Vorhänge und Bezugsstoffe tragen wesentlich zum Wohlbefinden bei. Die Entscheidung fiel auf Stoffe von drapilux. „Überzeugt hat uns die Strapazierfähigkeit sowie die Ausstattung der Textilien mit intelligenten Zusatzfunktionen“, schildert Sandra Greiner. Alle Artikel des Emsdettener Herstellers sind flammhemmend (drapilux flammstop) und können zusätzlich eine luftreinigende (drapilux air), antibakterielle (drapilux bioaktiv) oder akustische (drapilux akustik) Funktion haben.

Als Bezugsstoff für die Möbel wurden drei verschiedene Kolorits des Artikels drapilux 107 gewählt, passend zum jeweiligen Farbkonzept des Bereiches. Ausgestattet ist der Stoff mit der Zusatzfunktion drapilux air. Dank dieser werden schlechte Gerüche permanent abgebaut, sodass das Textil zu einer frischen Raumluft beiträgt. Auch die Vorhänge in den Arta-Zimmern sind mit dieser Funktion ausgestattet. Hier hängt drapilux 101, ein semitransparenter Faux-Uni in leuchtendem Pink vor den Fenstern. In den beiden anderen Bereichen kommt drapilux 102 zum Einsatz. Dabei handelt es sich um einen blickdichten Faux-Uni, der mit drapilux all in one ausgestattet ist. Diese Funktion kombiniert die luftreinigende Eigenschaft von drapilux air mit der antibakteriellen Wirkung von drapilux bioaktiv. Letztere bekämpft bis zu 99 Prozent der Bakterien auf dem Textil. Im Bereich Deia bringt der Stoff in frischem Grün Farbe in die Zimmer, während er in den Inca-Zimmern in freundlichem Gelb nicht nur für gute Luft, sondern auch gute Laune sorgt.
Die Reaktionen der Bewohner und Besucher zeigen, dass die Leitidee erfolgreich umgesetzt wurde. „Das Erste, was die meisten sagen, ist, dass es gar nicht aussähe wie in einem Pflegeheim, sondern viel mehr wie in einem Hotel“, freut sich Sandra Greiner. Auch das Gesamtkonzept überzeugt: Alle Plätze des im März 2018 eröffneten Hauses sind belegt, und es gibt Wartelisten.

Notus Composites celebrates a major manufacturing milestone

Notus Composites has achieved a major manufacturing milestone when the company’s one millionth m2 of fire retardant (FR) epoxy prepreg was shipped from its state-of-the-art facility in the UAE this month. Notus are supplying FR materials for several high profile infrastructure projects in the Middle East, with this latest batch of material being supplied for the new composite Museum of the Future in Dubai.

The one million m2 milestone was reached during a recent production run of Notus’ EPFR-609 glass fibre reinforced epoxy prepreg - a user friendly, long out life, FR prepreg designed for low pressure/vacuum curing at temperatures from 85-120˚C. EPFR-609 can also be supplied as a resin film or as Notus N1-Preg, the company’s versatile single sided prepreg product format. Having set up in 2015 but grown considerably in the past 4 years, Notus Composites has completed an extensive program of testing at well-known fire research laboratories in the Middle East and Europe with particular focus on large scale tests to verify material behavior as part of a complete wall or façade system.
