Smart Separations is proud to have been the recipient of multiple awards, grants and accolades.
Measures for Recovery (M4R). 20 days of work from the National Physics Laboratory to support detailed study of SSL´s antimicrobial coating when deployed on surfaces.
Awarded the PT 2020 grant to develop a solution for the removal of emerging pollutants from wastewater.
UKIPO - IP Plus Audit. This funding supported an IP Audit.
Sêr Cymru – Tackling COVID-19. This is a collaborative project with the University of Oxford and Cardiff to develop a mathematical model of the transmission of COVID-19 in closed spaces, in the presence and absence of antimicrobial coatings on surfaces and air filters.
Innovate UK - The Sustainable Innovation Fund. This funding supports the development of biodegradable and recyclable antimicrobial stickers. Smart Stickers are a low-cost and easy solution to functionalize surfaces, making them antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal.
Collaboration with CTCV (PT) in the development of a depolymerization and sintering process for ceramic membranes with oriented porosity.
Innovate UK - Business led Innovation in response to Global Disruption. This grant supported the efficacy and safety assessment of SSL´s personal air sanitizer, Gino.
Graduate internship grant from the Royal Society of Chemistry.
We got assigned to the Norte 2020 project to develop a technical solution to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
We got assigned to the Compete 2020 project in which we will help to develop technical solutions to stop SARS-CoV-2. This is a collaborative project with the University of Coimbra and the Technological Centre of Ceramic and Glass in Coimbra to transform our ceramic microfilters into nanofilters by depositing a film layer that traps and kills SARS-CoV-2.
i3S Health Innovation Prize - First Prize. This funding supported the development of SSL´s antimicrobial coating technology to be applied onto surfaces and air filters.
We will collaborate with University of Surrey on SPRINT-funded project to develop new catalytic monopropellants for satellite propulsion systems
