Biometric identification system based on eye blinkingThe Optics and Vision Sciences research group at the University of Alicante has developed a method for biometric authentication by recognizing the blinking of a subject. The method consists of studying and characterizing the changes in the intensity of diffused light during the blinking process. Those changes are used to classify the blinks using different algorithms. A subject can then be identified according to the parameters recorded. This method allows the authentication of subjects by means of a non-contact procedure, and even unconsciously. Commercial or built-in on mobile devices video cameras or webcams can be used for its application provided that the video is recorded at rates higher than 150 frames per second (fps). We are looking for companies interested in the commercial exploitation of this technology as well as in adapting it for the development of related projects.

Bioplastic technologyThe CSIR has developed a bioplastic technology for producing 100% biodegradable and compostable plastic. The technology enables single-use plastic products that, when they end up in landfills, bio-degrade within 180 days. The bioplastic products, when combined with organic waste, can turn into compost within 90 days, leaving no toxic residues. Bioplastics are a relatively new field within the South African plastics industry. As a result, landfills overflow with plastic bags and products from the household waste removal process. The CSIR’s bioplastic is made from plant-based materials to ensure that the disposed plastic waste in landfills is transformed from the biobased polymer into organic fertiliser. The development is a significant milestone for the CSIR in working towards environmental sustainability and a green economy for South Africa. “Our bioplastic technology is based on the use of biopolymers and agricultural waste by-products such as starch, cellulose and glycerol. Through smart use of additives, we have created unique formulations to modify the properties through a melt-processing technique. This has resulted in pellets which can be blown into films for carrier bags, kitchen waste bags, mulch films and packaging films, as well as rigid cutlery products,” says CSIR senior researcher Dr Sudhakar Muniyasamy. The technology can help those players in the agricultural, medical and hospitality industries who are looking for green methods of packaging. In this market, approximately 90% of packaging products are typically produced from petroleum-based chemicals which are often disposed of in natural environments after single or short-term use. “Our technology has been validated at an industrial manufacturing facility, and the pilot scale-testing for the production of the pellets and industrial-scale conversion process has been done for a specific product line,” adds Muniyasamy. As part of the commercialisation process, the CSIR is now working towards licensing the technology.

Biopolymer based micro- and nanoparticlesA group of researchers from a Portuguese university developed a method for preparing new hybrid materials based on biopolymer and silica, in the form of spherical particles with uniform size and smaller than 1 micrometer for a number of applications in environmental and industrial areas. The method is also effective for coating nanoparticles of variable nature, with a thin shell (tens of nanometers) with composition identical to the hybrids. The materials have been successfully tested in the removal of chemical species in water at laboratory scale, in particular in the removal of organic pollutants dyes and pharmaceutical compounds. Other applications are being considered. The University looks for companies working in the environmental, pharmaceutical or biotechnology areas, or companies in the area of materials for licensing and / or future collaboration in developing new formulations and testing new applications.

Biopolymer-containing calcium phosphate foam for bone regenerationThe Challenge Hidroxyapatyte is a natural mineral found in teeth and bones. It is commonly used as a filler to regenerate bone or as a coating to promote bone growth. The application of calcium phosphate cements, which can form hydoxyapatite, in the treatment of bone defects, begun more than two decades ago and many formulations have been developed so far. The ideal bone replacing cement should be osteoconductive and osteoinductive, to stimulate bone regeneration. Moreover, it should be resorbable and gradually replaced by newly formed bone. Although most of the developed calcium phosphate cements are more resorbable than sintered hydroxypatite ceramics, they still show relatively slow resorption kinetics and in many cases the cement remains stable in the implanted site during years. The absence of interconnected macropores is indeed a limiting factor to achieve resorption. If the designed material has macropores, cells can colonize it and the access of osteoclasts is facilitated increasing the rate of healing of the bone defect.

Bioresorbable polymer composite for bone-soft tissue fixation.An advanced and cost effective bioresorbable, biocompatible polymer composite for bone soft tissue fixation has been developed, and their use in preparing different orthopedic devices that serves the purpose of fixation of soft tissue injuries and low-load bearing bone fractures. The use of the given bioresorbable polymer composite in orthopedic devices is an attempt to replace the traditional metallic implants and making it accessible to masses at affordable prices, and therefore overcome the limitations of currently available bioresorbable orthopedic devices in the market. The technology produces a novel bioresorbable, biocompatible polymer composite for bone soft tissue fixation. The polymer composite biomaterial is composed of bioresorbable polymer such as poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL), natural fiber silk fibroin and an osteoconductive component like Magnesium oxide (MgO) in nanoparticle form and it can be used to prepare different orthopedic devices. The silk fiber of 20% and MgO nanoparticles in concentration of 10% were mixed together with PCL as base polymer in twin-screw extruder to produce composite orthopedic biomaterial. The newly developed bone screw is having a design with screw head shape, thread-tip design, thread profile and volume. It is found that millions of screws are being used for bone or soft-tissue fixations per year and the need of such fixations devices in world orthopedic market is ever-growing. The cost effective bioresorbable composite device thus made is also having wider clinical applications with its higher bioactivity (biomineralization), biocompatibility, infection resistivity and proper bone remodeling properties.

Biosensor for detection of heavy metalsBackground Cadmium, mercury, and lead are heavy metal environmental contaminants that are bio-accumulative and can impose serious organ damage, leading to cancer and even death. For this reason, they have collectively been subject to numerous international regulations strictly restricting their use. Given their highly toxic characteristics, it is important to screen for the presence of these heavy metals in drinking water and at source in wastewater applications. The current standard method for detection used very expensive inductive-coupled plasmon-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) instrumentation that requires highly skilled operators and controlled laboratory operating environments. Such highly controlled requirements represent a sample processing bottleneck leading to long testing turnaround time. More portable and cost effective analytical testing methods are required to better enforce regulations and to detect and prevent these contaminant’s adverse environmental and health effects sooner.
