Objective
The aim of this program is to ensure the efficient transfer of knowledge between the Institute for Surface Chemistry (YKI) and Procter and Gamble. The scope of the project is to forge a long-term relationship in the key areas of nanotechnology and nanostructured materials. Nanotechnology is a growing area of importance in science and YKI are seen as a world-leading institute. PandG wish to set up a transfer of knowledge to help PandG implement nanotechnology in the consumer products area. YKI also wishes to understand the challenges in the fast moving world of consumer products to increase the industrial relevance of their research programs.
A key aim of the program is the development of dye loaded nanostructured silica particles that will revolutionise the beauty care area. These particles are the same size as particles routinely used throughout the industry and have no known health risks. To achieve this aim requires the particles to be accurately structured at the nanometre level with a completely uniform structure. This will allow us to replace the current range of pigments used in cosmetics with a single class of dye loaded nanostructured silica. A further aim of this program is to develop a detailed understanding of how we may modify consumer relevant surfaces at the nanoscale.
This will allow for more efficient cleaning and maintenance which will reduce the environmental impact of such products. YKI possesses the detailed understanding of nanoscale absorbsion but lack a detailed understanding of what the consumer really needs. This TOK will allow YKI and PandG to build initially a comprehensive model what is needed and then to design new too the world nanoscale surface modifiers of relevance to the European consumer.
