MORE ABOUT THE CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY INCUBATOR
Specialization and research offer
One of the key areas of specialization of the Incubator is the design, synthesis, and characterization of dedicated chemical compounds (especially organosilicon compounds), tailored to specific functional and technological applications. The scope of work includes:
- selection of chemical structure (e.g., length of organic chains, type of functional groups),
- design of multifunctional molecules (combining, for example, hydrophobicity, adhesion, microbiological resistance),
- modeling of molecular properties and their interactions with surfaces,
- optimization of synthesis pathways and scaling of processes to industrial requirements.
The Incubator conducts comprehensive work on the modification of material surfaces, aimed at imparting desired performance features and increasing their functionality. Examples of material groups covered by research include:
- textiles (cotton, blended, technical),
- natural stone, concrete, ceramics,
- glass and transparent surfaces,
- wood, plastics, composites.
Thanks to advanced organosilicon systems, it is possible to impart materials with properties such as:
- hydrophobicity and superhydrophobicity,
- oleophobicity,
- antimicrobial and antifungal activity,
- flame retardancy,
- anti-condensation and anti-fogging properties,
- easy-to-clean effect and self-cleaning ability,
- stabilization of color and gloss,
- improved adhesion of protective coatings.
We have modern research and analytical infrastructure, enabling the implementation of projects on both laboratory and pilot scales. Our competences cover the entire chain of activities – from chemical structure design, through application testing, to technological implementation. The Chemical Technology Incubator actively cooperates with partners from the scientific and industrial sectors. We are open to joint research and development projects, both national and international, within public funding programs or on a commercial basis.
