Technology Transfer
Conductive Transparent Films (Indium Tin Oxide Replacement)
Customer Requirement: Tel Aviv University (TAU) developed a technology to produce transparent conductive coatings based on silver nanowires. TAU wanted technological and commercial assessment of technology and design of coating line.
Challenges:
-
Very basic prototypes
-
Reproducibility issues involve many steps
-
Find relative advantages of Indium Tin Oxide transparent conductive coating
Process:
-
Complete technological and commercial analysis of TAU’s technology
Solution: TecSolut successfully analyzed TAU’s conductive coatings
Natural Antibacterial Polymer for Hygiene Applications
Customer Requirement: A research group at an Israeli university developed a unique, natural starch-based polymer with antibacterial properties. They approached TecSolut to perform scale-up for manufacturing of this polymer.
Challenges:
-
Process developed at the university was not scalable
-
Process should be scalable and economic
-
Antibacterial properties of polymer must be retained
Process:
-
Different types of starches were evaluated.
Solution: TecSolut developed a multi-kilogram scale-up process and the university licensed the process to an industrial customer.
