Research Areas:

Energy:
Electricity storage in nanostructured carbon
The unique combination of tunable porosity and nanosize crystallinity provides nanostructured carbon with the large surface area and conductivity needed to storage huge amounts of energy when used as a supercapacitor. Exciting results on bench-scale supercapacitor prepared with nanostructurd carbon based supercapacitors encouraged us to move the pilot scale step that we are doing in collaboration with ITE.

Enhaced gasoline production with nanostructured zeolites
Controlled mesoporosity incorporation in type Y zeolites produces a remarkable increase both in conversion and gasoline yield. These materials present enhanced hydrothermal stability due their unique combination of crystallinity and mesoporosity in one single phase. Our patented process does not modify the shape of the original zeolites crystals that expand to accomodate the introduced mesoporosity.

Nanomaterials:
Functionallized metal nanoparticles as surfactants replicas
Metal nanoparticles functionallized with cationic groups have been used as metallic replicas of conventional cationic surfactants (CTAB) used in the production of mesoporous silica. The combination of functionallized metal nanoparticles and CTAB allows for the efficient incorporation of metal nanoparticles in MCM-41

Biomimetics:
Circular mesoporous silica produced with phospholips
The combination of cationic surfactants typically used in the fabrication of mesoporous materials and biomolecules found in cell membranes produces the formation of a novel family of nanostructured materials with circular ordered esoporosity that mimic the structure of certain marine microorganisms

Medice:
Nanostructured titania for more durable orthopedic implants
Nanostructured coatings on metallic orthopedic implants accelerate osteoblast proliferation improving the adhesion between the implant and the bond. Finite element calculations have been used to prove the usefulness of ultrasonic spectroscopy to in-vivo monitor the evolution of the implant in real time.

The basic technology platform of Activery®, is DELOS®, the newest and most promising nanoparticle production method using supercritical fluids (SCF).

Initially patented just as a "method for precipitating finely divided solid particles", further developments based on its unique common denominator led to a significant diversification through two new innovative processes.

• DELOS PLUS for the production of composite materials
• DELOS SUSP for production of nanosuspensions and nanoemulsions

In addition, Activery® possesses extensive capabilities using supercritical fluids with the established PCA process for the production of micro-particles and composite materials.

April 2004, Sensia spun-off from the technologies developed at the Biosensor Group within the National Microelectronics Centre (CNM) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Concluding research results and availability of biosensing systems already working at lab level originated the proposal of bringing them into commercialisation, after an initial phase of prototyping and industrialisation. This first idea was supported by Genetrix a young biotech company which is interested in developing biosensors for the characterisation and detection of molecular interactions which are relevant in human pathologies. Dr. Pedro Banda, with experience in the semiconductor industry and biosensor technologies, joined in to get in charge of the project.

The research interest of our Group is the development of a new kind of anisotropic adsorbates: tripod-shaped oligo-p-phenylenes (OPPs) substituted with oligo(ethyleneglycol)s chains (OEGs). Also, we wish to prepare self-assambled monolayers (SAMs) of these tripods where the tripods are bonded to silicon surfaces via Si-C bonds. Functional groups could be attached to the focal point of the tripods. Hence, the size of the base of the tripods controls the distance between the functional groups in the monolayers. As result of the OEG substitution on the tripod, the tripod itself and the its SAMs will be protein-resistant. This biocompatible material could be used as biosensor, to study biological samples or for example, to prepare protein microarrays.
