  • Center
  • DepartmentPhysics of Condensed Matter, Crystallography and Mineralogy
  • Investigation GroupCellular Materials Laboratory (CellMat)


Description

Bioplastics play a central role in areas like packing, agriculture, gastronomy, etc. we prepare the foaming materials of this kind in our laboratories, from low-cost natural products like starch, which are also biodegradable.


Other information

Number of researchers:

19

Development status:

Developed but not marketed

Intellectual Property Rights:

Protected by industrial secrecy

Differentiation in the market:

Novelty

Applicability of technology:

Yes

Companies and markets:

Packaging, food manufacturing (starch based snacks).

Advantages:

Biodegradable natural thermoplastic foams with no environmental impact and excellent physic properties and controlled biodegradation. Possibility of controlling the cellular structure and the properties in starch-based snacks.

Additional Information:

We have an extensive experience in CellMat of collaborating with companies and works of transfer of knowledge and technology. Some of our developments have been introduced in industrial processes in the production facilities of some of our partners. Our interest with this technology is to find right partners to make it rise and make successful products from it.
