Projektbeschreibung
Selbstreinigende Nanotechnologielösungen für Gebäude
Schlechte Luftqualität stellt eine Bedrohung für die Gesundheit der Menschen dar und Stickoxide (NOx) zählen zu den schlimmsten Verursachern. INSPECS entwickelt eine ungiftige Oberflächenbehandlung für Betongebäude auf Basis von Titandioxid-Nanopartikeln. Diese Photokatalysatoren beschleunigen chemische Reaktionen unter Verwendung von Licht, um NOx und organische Verbindungen wie Bakterien oder Pilzen in harmlose Formen umzuwandeln. Die Luftqualität in der Stadt wird verbessert, da NOx kontinuierlich aus der Umgebungsluft entfernt werden. Wasser- und Bodenqualität werden vom geringeren Bedarf an chemischen Reinigungsmitteln profitieren, da der behandelte Oberflächenbereich einen selbstreinigenden Effekt aufweist, was den Wartungsbedarf verringert.
Ziel
The photocatalytic self-cleaning products can be greatly beneficial by reducing the frequency of cleaning operations in exterior surfaces, reducing the maintenance and operational costs, and preserving the ecosystem, by avoiding the use of cleaning products with chemical agents. Still, available self-cleaning coatings are very limited, presenting short lifetimes and poor self-cleaning capacity. Joma developed the next generation of photocatalytic self-cleaning and anti-polluting technologies for the efficient treatment of concrete surfaces in urban areas, addressing not only the need for buildings and infrastructures’ maintenance reduction but also the major societal problem of urban air quality.
Joma will deliver an improved titania-based technology, with a unique and proprietary nanostructure. The technology brings together a superior self-cleaning performance, anti-greening proven efficiency and anti-polluting potential, based on its higher photocatalytic activity, higher specificity for removal of the surrounding NO2, cost-effectiveness, high level of customization, possibility to combine with water protection and significant maintenance need reduction and consequent cost savings. The customized nanoparticle is the key component of Joma’s products representing an outstanding innovation against current stated-of-the-art in self-cleaning technologies.
To bridge the remaining steps towards full scale commercialization of our nanotechnology, Joma has to widely demonstrate its economic and environmental assets over competing solutions and to consolidate our strategic partnering in the concrete manufacturing and maintenance industry value chain. Thus, Joma will leverage from the current SME instrument application as a stepping stone to prepare the company’s business strategy and to propel the commercialization of our technology, which we expect to become a new reference in the construction industry sector.
