General objective:
The main objective of the project lies in the
development and implementation of a range of complex security elements in order
to diversify and increase the quality of security papers for value documents
resulting in a significant step forward in terms of competitiveness of the
producer partner on both the internal and international markets.
Specific objectives:
Achievement of several materials with unique security
features consisting in polymeric composites based on complexes and carbon
dots-type nanostructures. The materials with unique security characteristics
will be developed by means of the results obtained in the field of
photo-luminescent polymeric composites based on complexes and Carbon Dots.
Development of several methods and technologies for
embedding the complex elements in papers matrix as a function of the chemistry
of the papermaking process that will allow obtaining a security paper designed
for security printing. The obtained samples of security paper will be
economically and technically evaluated.
Laboratory-scale manufacturing of the security paper
with complex elements and validation tests conducted in order to achieve a
database for designing technical solutions to obtain a demonstration model.
