Two Spanish research Institutions have developed materials that contain one or more fluorescing dyes encapsulated in their structure. The materials show a high fluorescing efficiency and are useful for applications as solid state lasers and waveguides. Some of them are multicolored and show interesting properties for light harvesting, transport and trapping, with potential applications in artificial photonic antenna systems. Exploitation of this technology is offered under a patent license.

Brussels research center has developed a process which allows to obtain a wide variety of monomers and of (bio)polymers which can themselves be functionalized for specific properties (like anti-bacteria, adhesive, etc). The center is interested in license or commercial agreements with technical assistance with base chemicals producers, chemical convertors, polymer and/or biopolymer manufacturers willing to manufacture and commercialize the functionalized compounds and/or specific (bio) polymers.

A SME from Germany developed agrouting equipment for lab-scale tests and field tests of up to 1m³. The technology allows measurements like viscosity, permeability, compressive strength as well as chemical analysis. Technology is based on using natural mineralization processes to seal water inflows and leakages. The company seeks partners for further development the technology for new applications, looking for technical cooperation, Joint venture, transfer of knowledge or commercial agreement.

A Spanish company has formulated a low-temperature hot melt adhesive for automatic box closing. This new product offers a considerable energy and adhesive consumption saving, less maintenance and waiting times, and a higher adhesive stability. This adhesive could be of benefit to different sectors (packaging, medical, textile, bookbinding, aerospace, automotive, etc.). It is already on the market. The company is looking for industries needing to implement it or having adhesion-related problems.

A Spanish SME has developed a new deconstruction technology, a disruptive technology that removes the structural layers of used tires preserving the innovation inside. High value products can be developed supplying civil engineering, metal mechanic, shipbuilding, railway or the environmental sectors. Companies for technical cooperation, manufacturing agreements and commercial agreement with technical assistance are sought.

A Spanish SME working on the field of abrassive tools has developed and protected an innovative detachable grinding tool for flat glass. Because only the diamond surface is worn out while grinding, only the diamond cup grinding wheel is replaced and the shank is reused. They are looking for joint venture partners from the industrial manufacturing sector for adaptation to specific needs and commercial agreement with technical assistance.

A Spanish SME, developer of desalination plants, is working in Reverse Osmosis (RO), obtaining product water and brine from sea water. The company is looking for technology cooperation with partners specialized in direct osmosis membranes for energy generation.

A Russian SME from St. Petersburg developed a technology for improving the selectivity of gas separation membranes based on polystyrene. This technology can increase the membrane selectivity in 1.5 times and increase the operating temperature up to 120C. Membranes with enhanced selectivity can be used for air purification and monitoring, e.g. at combined heat and power stations (CHP). The company looks for partners for technology finalization and adaptation to specific partner needs.

One of the leading enterprises from Turkey, dealing in consumer goods sector, is seeking partners for a Eureka project to develop a low cost volatile organic compounds (VOC) sensor for specific (or for a limited number of) compounds. Industry partners, whose working area is sensor design and/or volatile organic compounds are sought for the project. Possible contributions from research centers and/or universities are also welcomed.

A Spanish research team has developed a stereoselective synthesis process for acetylenic compounds through one step to be used in galvanic baths. This synthesis does not use permanganate as oxidising agent, avoids extreme conditions of reaction and minimises the residues management. The electrochemist group is looking for companies interested in acquiring this technology for commercial purposes or for establishing projects to adopt this technology to their needs.
