Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a flexible material which imitates leather, more in particular a textile material, coated with products of vegetable origin. The present disclosure relates to a flexible material comprised of a coated textile substrate, woven, knitted or non-woven fabric, the coating material of which having in its constitution vegetable by-products and residues, which may be of different typologies. In particular, the textiles have residues attached to the textile substrate through the use of a binder. The flexible material of the present disclosure is useful for the textile and confectionery industry and can be extensively applied in the textile industry namely in the manufacture of textile materials for clothing or for application in furniture, home textiles and decoration, footwear, automobile upholstery, bags, wallets, belts, leather goods, etc.

Abstract: Wood derived multilayer glued or laminated product having an integrated electric circuit, comprising a paper layer and conducting elements of conductive ink deposited on said paper layer, said elements being suitable for forming an electric circuit and said paper layer has a rugosity inferior to 60 ?m. The paper layer may be of kraft paper. The product may comprise one or more additional kraft paper layers, in particular having a hole for receiving electric components such that the top surface of product remains flat. The product may include a fibreboard substrate of MDF. The paper layer may be a decorative paper layer glued with the circuit facing the substrate. The manufacture process comprises depositing conductive ink elements on a paper layer having rugosity inferior to 60 ?m for forming an electric circuit; and incorporating, by gluing or laminating, said paper layer into the multilayer product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for active management of energy in concrete walls and/or floors, which essentially comprises: printed heating systems which are integrated in concrete parts during the concrete casting process; heating systems which are printed on the surface of concrete parts or cementitious coatings; an electronic system for monitoring and control the environment and the heating circuits, which is integrated in the concrete in order to maintain the comfort temperature; high reflective and phase-change materials to maximize the functionality of the heating systems; concrete wall structure to maximize the utilization of the heat generated by the integrated heating system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of construction, involving knowledge of building materials and sensors technology. The invention consists of a cementitious material structure with sensors, which includes plurality of sensing elements (1) integrated on at least one substrate (2), and wherein the set of the plurality of sensing elements (1) and the at least one substrate (2) is involved in cementitious material. The invention thus enables a wide variety of ways to interact with construction structures, while allowing durability and robustness of these structures and their sensing elements (1). The present invention also comprises a manufacturing method of a cementitious material structure with sensors, which includes the integration of sensing elements (1) on at least one substrate (2), its insertion into a formwork and filling with cementitious material.
