The group of trial, simulation and modeling of structures (GRESMES) has drafted a method for developing an architectural project by means of Voronoi diagrams, which allows to quickly obtain different distribution possibilities of the uses in the space. The group is looking for companies intereste[…]

The "Molecular Microbiology" research group at the University of Alicante has modified several phage proteins (Poll-N and UK-C) that have high specificity against Escherichia coli (E. coli), but not against other Gram-negative (G-) bacteria. For these reasons, their use as a specific antimicrobia[…]

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 de[…]

The research group "Neurobiología del sistema visual y terapia de enfermedades neurodegenerativas" of the University of Alicante has discovered the use of the compound 3-(2-isothiocyanatethyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indol, and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, for the preventive or therapeutic treatment […]

Polyurethane adhesives are widely used in industry for bonding materials in the footwear, electronics, renewable energy, aeronautics, and construction industries, as well as in composite materials. However, they have limitations due to their mechanical properties and stiffness. Researchers at the u[…]

The group of investigation of Processing and pyrolysis of polymers of the University of Alicante has developed a new combined filter that eliminates the tar, the nicotine and other toxic gases present in tobacco smoke in a very efficient way more efficiently than current filters available in the mar[…]

The University of Alicante has developed an innovative polyurethane pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), that presents a controllable degree of stickiness ("tack") with respect to the current adhesives. The tack of the adhesive is changed abruptly in specific short ranges of temperature. The adhesi[…]

The present invention refers to a connection system of mixed concrete-wood structures formed by at least one connector comprising: a head that anchors the bolt to the concrete and which in turn consists of a clamping head and a body of larger diameter with the function of a distribution washer; and […]
