The project is led by <strong>Controlar<\/strong> and <strong>Graphenest<\/strong>, Portugal\u2019s only graphene producer, and also involves <strong>PIEP \u2014 the Innovation Centre for Polymer Engineering<\/strong> \u2014 and the <strong>University of Aveiro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With a <strong>\u20ac1.86 million investment funded by Portugal 2030<\/strong>, ASTRAL will run from January 2026 to December 2028. The project is aligned with Europe\u2019s strategy for technological autonomy at a time when the continent is seeking to reduce its dependence on external suppliers in critical sectors such as defence, autonomous mobility and telecommunications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">ASTRAL aims to <strong>develop an ultra-thin, flexible, multilayer material based on graphene and magnetic particles<\/strong>, capable of absorbing electromagnetic radiation across the full range of frequencies used by modern industry \u2014 from automotive radars to 5G communications and military systems.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, the material is designed to replace the bulky pyramidal foams currently used to line anechoic chambers with a thinner solution that can adapt to any surface. The global market for these materials was valued at $828 million in 2025 and is expected to grow to $1.1 billion by 2034. The anechoic chamber market is projected to increase from its current value of $1.6 billion to $2.3 billion by 2030.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_position=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; pointer_events=&#8221;all&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; phon-e_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<p class=\"p1\"><b> The material developed under this project is expected to have an impact across three strategic sectors:<\/b><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"icon-salient-check\" data-animation=\"false\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-color=\"accent-color\" data-spacing=\"default\" data-alignment=\"left\"> \n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>In the automotive industry<\/strong>, it addresses the growing need to test and calibrate ADAS radars \u2014 autonomous driving systems operating at 77 GHz \u2014 which are installed in millions of vehicles manufactured by direct clients of the consortium, including Bosch, Continental and BorgWarner.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>In telecommunications and electronics<\/strong>, the material offers a lightweight and adaptable electromagnetic shielding solution, which is essential for the development of 5G infrastructure and next-generation devices.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>In defence and aerospace<\/strong>, its impact is particularly significant, as the technology has the potential to make drones and aircraft less detectable by radar \u2014 a capability that is among the most valuable strategic assets in military contexts.
