Scalable aperture-combined optical telescope CSIC and the Astrohita Foundation have developed a telescope, which comprises several optical assemblies that focus the light from a target on individual optical fibers, which are combined together in a final single optical fiber. The rest of the light is simultaneously collected in image devices, which record the field of view of each optical assembly. The gathered images are summed together to achieve a high-quality final image. These telescopes are not of interest only in the field of astronomy but also in the tracking of satellites and space junk. Industrial partners from the Astronomy, Astrophysics and telecommunications sector are being sought to collaborate through a patent licence agreement.

New non-destructive method for “in situ” monitoring of anticorrosive protection of organic coatings The main novelty of the device and procedure is the new portable sensor adaptable to virtually any surface. The device, fixable by vacuum to the surface under study, makes possible the measurement of the electrochemical interfacial impedance, that is the main parameter of interest for adherence quality and anti-corrosion performance.

A novel mild and efficient method to prepare ε-Caprolactam precursor of Nylon 6 ε-Caprolactam, the main precursor of the synthetic fibber Nylon 6, is prepared from cyclohexanone oxime by treatment with a new salt as promoter. This procedure requires mild reaction conditions and affords excellent levels of conversion and selectivity to obtain pure ε-caprolactam. No reaction by-products are formed. The new promoter salt is cheap, no corrosive, and easy to prepare. All these characteristics makes the procedure suitable for undustrial purposes.

New metal-free electrocatalysts for fuel cells The Carbon Materials and Environment Research Group of the University of Alicante has developed a new method for obtaining carbon materials with excellent properties such as electrocatalysts in fuel cells or metal-air batteries. The process is based on the thermal treatment of polyaniline (or its derivatives) at high temperature and allows to obtain metal-free carbon materials with a high performance, in a very simple, fast way and in a single stage. These novel materials are characterized by their excellent catalytic activity and selectivity in the oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline medium, they are very stable and resistant to methanol and carbon monoxide poisoning, and above all, they stand out for their low manufacturing cost, which makes them promising candidates to replace the current commercial platinum-based catalysts. We are looking for companies interested in acquiring this technology for commercial exploitation.

Novel 3D-polymeric monolithic catalyst Researchers from Inorganic Chemistry Department at the University of Alicante have developed a new procedure to obtain heterogeneous monolithic catalysts with polymeric support that allow to accelerate catalytic reactions in an optimal way at moderate temperatures, being especially suitable in Preferential Oxidation of Carbon in Hydrogen Rich Gases (CO-PROX). These novel catalysts have been manufactured by 3D printing with complex geometries, improving the performance of current supports. These heterogeneous catalysts are characterized because they have similar conversion and selectivity profiles to current unsupported powder catalysts. They have increased catalytic activity during prolonged reaction times and greater resistance to friction wear. We are looking for companies interested in acquiring this technology for commercial exploitation.

Method for quantification of the speed of printing of continuous fibers in processes of near-field electrospinning and electrohydrodynamic jet printing for microfabrication The offered invention allows controlling the process of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet printing in which an ink is printed on a substrate as a continuous line or fiber, forming predesigned 2D patterns and 3D structures. This is also known as near-field electrospinning (NFES). The offered technology allows determining the speed at which the EHD ink jet approaches the substrate before it collects transforming into a printed fiber. The knowledge of its speed of approach is critical for controlling the process of printing and create high-resolution patterns and structures, and, ultimately, for ensuring the desired performance of the printed fibers (device). In this invention, the jet trajectory is oscillated electrostatically at a known frequency, resulting in a repeating printed pattern. The speed is obtained from macroscopic, easily quantifiable features of the printed pattern, such as width on a serpentine track (2D pattern), or diameter of a cylinder (3D structure). A patent is pending for this technology.

3D printing of continuous fibers for microfabrication, such as flexible electronics and biofabrication A versatile 3D printing technology is offered in which electrostatic control is used to form a continuous electrohydrodynamic ink jet and to precisely position it on a substrate forming a predefined pattern made of solid fiber with fiber diameter typically in the few-micron or submicron ranges. The technology uses electrostatic forces to deflect the trajectory of the fast-moving jet in its flight toward the substrate, in a time-varying fashion. This technology is capable of printing predefined 2D patterns and 3D microstructures with submicrometer resolution and unprecedented speed of up to 2000 fiber layers per second, resulting in total printing time of up to about 1 second per 3D structure. A patent is pending for this technology.

Production of porous solids with embedded gases to be used as solid-gas nanocomposite materials CSIC has developed a method for the production of nanoporous solids that contain gas inside their pores. The method is based on magnetron sputtering, but gas consumption is lower in comparison with conventional sputtering methods carried out in dynamic regime. Experimentally, layers of controlled thickness of these nanocomposite materials have been successfully obtained. Gas consumption during the production of these solids was only 0.5% of gas consumption in conventional magnetron sputtering in dynamic regime. Industrial partners from electronic or defence sectors or laboratory materials and chemicals products providers are being sought to collaborate through a patent license agreement.
