SINTEF projects

FerroCool is an experimental project that will investigate ferrofluid heat transfer. It is an early step towards realizing a novel, efficient and reliable cooling concept that uses magnetic nanofluids.

The project has a large potential for improving the transmission system's asset management by optimizing decisions on maintenance and reinvestments using developments in information and communication technology (ICT) and existing business specific...

BubbleCAN addresses the optimization of a product for the delivery of very high local concentrations of drugs to tumors using non-invasive focused ultrasound. The product is based on SINTEF owned technology platforms.

The CARBCOATPRO project aims at developing innovative multi-level protective "smart"coatings with enhanced "self-healing" active protection properties, to improve the long-term performance of metallic substrates.

Europe needs more green energy. Offshore wind power is an expanding market for Norwegian maritime industry.

In this project, we aim at increasing our competence and developing new polymer or hybrid capsule demonstrators using a range of techniques and materials. Nano- and microcapsules are currently of high interest in many applications where protection of...

New solutions for orally administrated drugs are in demand by users, society and the pharmaceutical industry. The overall goal of NutriDrug is to develop a novel and efficient oral drug delivery system for the treatment of cancer and infectious...

State-of-the-art solar cells are efficient – but are even more so when they are kept clean. A cleaning robot developed by Norwegian researchers enables solar panels to deliver at full capacity. The objective of the project was to develop a self...

EMPIG, in cooperation with Kværner, will develop an always-clean cooling system (ACS). Through multidisciplinary competence at SINTEF, and a close collaboration with Kværner, that will manufacture and assemble the main parts of the ACS prototype, the...

Biodegradable gillnets are being tested in Norway since 2016 as an attempt to reduce ghost fishing and marine litter caused by lost gillnets.

An innovative concept for time-dependent monitoring of CO₂ plume expansion by combining active and passive seismic data.

In the EU alone, around 2.5 million people are allergic to β-lactam antibiotics and this figure increases every year due to excessive drug intake. The main objective of COBIOPHAD project is the development of an integrated biophotonic device based on...

The ERIFORE will realize the European potential to consolidate its place as a world leader in biomass based research and innovations. ERIFORE builds on a new firm alliance aiming to establish open access distributed forest bioeconomy research...

This project would investigate how smart grid technology can be utilized in the electric distribution grid to reduce interruptions in the electricity supply and socio-economic costs of interruptions.

In Flexi3D we will develop new technologies that can meet industry needs: a rapid and precise pick, place & verify solution that enables profitable future automation solutions.

Society is crucially dependent on an adequate level of security of electricity supply. This imposes requirements for the planning and operation of modern power systems.

HiPerNav will train early stage researchers (biomedical engineers and medical doctors) to become international leading experts in key areas of expertise through a novel coordinated plan of individual research projects addressing specific bottlenecks...

SINTEF possesses internationally unique laboratory facilities for multiphase flow research that have had huge benefits for the Norwegian oil industry and for the Norwegian industry cluster based on multiphase flow technology.
