Photoinitiators for visible-light induced living polymerization

A new class of photoinitiators of living polymerization induced by visible light has been developed and is made available for testing (under MTA) and/or licensing. The developed initiators trigger the curing of resins by irradiation with low-intensity visible light, while providing polymers with good control of chain length. In addition, through decomposition of the initator, the cured material presents a different colour than the uncured resin.

Nanocomposites for electrochemical supercapacitors

The new materials have the following advantages over existing materials in supercapacitor’s sector:  Supercapacitive properties: they have specific capacitance values much higher than those obtained by commercial nanostructured carbon electrodes.  Low cost: obtained by a chemical process of a single stage, with a single precursor, at low temperature, and highly available, non-polluting and low cost materials.  Good cyclability: testing in cyclability is promising in terms of electrochemical and mechanical stability. In parallel to its advantages as supercapacitors, the nanocomposites show the advantages associated with the following additional properties:  Giant magnetoresistance, GMR: this property is observed at room temperature, and high magnetic fields are not needed.  Source of carbon nanoforms: based on the nanocomposite, can be obtained a mixture of carbon nanoforms consisting of nano-onions and multi-walled nanotubes.

Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells based on ionic dyes

The use of ionic dyes leads to materials that do not suffer from compatibility issues and allows for a much more economic production of LECs. These dyes are known for many years and used in applications such as photographic films and recordable DVD discs, and are produced in large quantities at low cost. Some examples of suitable ionic organic dyes are cyanine, hemicyanine and squarilene dyes.

Passive sampler for monitoring atmospheric pollutants (VERAM)

The most remarkable advantages provided by this technology are: o Versatility, it is possible to sample a big number of pollutants using a single device containing a combination of solid phases. o Greater adsorption capacity and high analytic sensitivity with smaller sampling time than market available devices. o Rapidity and low cost of pollutant analysis. Thermal desorption and head space injection minimize sample handling, do not require the use of solvents and reduce the time of analysis. o Cheap passive samplers with a fast and simple fabrication procedure. o VERAM permits a multidirectional sampling differing from radial or one-way sampling devices with encapsulated solid phases.
