Research and Development

With the goal of producing high value technologies for improved life and environment quality, ICET is currently pursuing a wide portfolio of research topics.

We are focused on four core areas of R&D:

1. Antimicrobial/antiviral advanced compositions,
2. Biomimetic surface modifications for bone implants,
3. Fuel cell technologies, catalysts, membranes,
4. Water treatment

In addition, we are engaged in developing several proof-of-concept R&D efforts.

New Research and Development Topics

1. Long-term Biofilm Inhibiting Approaches for Medical Polymers and Consumer Materials
2. Gene Delivery Vectors
3. Controlled Delivery of NSAIDs
4. Antiviral Formulations, Topical Microbicide Formulations
5. Photosynthetically Generated Hydrogen
6. Microbial Fuel Cells
7. Integrated Smart Textiles with Self Decontaminating and Superhydrophobic/Olephobic Properties
