The work done during the 6 months of the project has thoroughly been following the work plan signed in the Grant Agreement. In the attached document, the work plan has been explained and detailed.
Objective: The overall objective of NANOHIGH is the deployment in the market of an innovative technology for the industrial production of high accuracy fibered/spherical-shaped nanocapsules that it is expected to account for 10-15 %share of the physical tech segment. This technology, known as Coaxial EHD, enables the cost-effective manufacture of high accuracy micro and nanocapsules with special configurations (coreshells, coredoubleshell…) and functionalities, which can be used for the controlled delivery of active compounds in multiple applications. The performance of this patent protected technology has been demonstrated in a lab scale pilot; however, its derivative products have not fully entered the market due to the lack of industrial scale equipment, required for the market deployment.
NANOHIGH project aims the demonstration of “Coaxial EHD” technology and industrial scale, covering the existing gap and breaking this barrier for the market uptake of new products using high accuracy micro/nano capsules. It is expected that the new technology “Coaxial EHD” will uptake the market once the industrial line exists and its performance and results are probed, making possible the commercial uptake of nanotechnologies, advanced materials and production technologies in a sustainable way. It will be translated into an increase of private investment in research and innovation, notably leverage of private co-investor and/or follow-up investments. YFLOW´s technology will enable the customers to manufacture new products or to improve the existing ones by adding new functionalities to the final products.
