NMP Partner Day - Poland3 Inter-Euro Technology Ltd Topic Multifunctional ceramic thin films with radically new properties - STREP Applications electronics, optical and magnetic devices, protection coatings, electrochemistry or catalysis.

NMP Partner Day - Poland4 Inter-Euro Technology Ltd Topic Multifunctional ceramic thin films with radically new properties - STREP Functionally-graded or multi-component, nano- structured films allow further flexibility in the tailoring of properties. Focus on new multi-functional ceramic thin films (nitrides, carbides, oxides, etc) Provide components with radically new electronic, optical or magnetic properties for novel industrial applications.

NMP Partner Day - Poland5 Inter-Euro Technology Ltd Proposal Smart ceramic anodes Scientific and technological objectives: Develop highly specific smart anodes based on multifunctional ceramic thin films.

NMP Partner Day - Poland6 Inter-Euro Technology Ltd Smart ceramic anodes Innovative applications in electrochemistry and photo-electrochemistry for electro-synthesis, electro-destruction of toxic chemicals production of clean water.

NMP Partner Day - Poland7 Inter-Euro Technology Ltd Smart ceramic anodes Electrochemistry Synthesis of complex organic compounds for pharmaceutical and other applications without use of toxic reagents. The electron is the ultimate green reagent. Destroying toxic organic compounds by complete oxidative destruction, electro-incineration, without any risk of producing toxic by-products such as dioxins This technique can be applied to water to remove persistent organic compounds which can build up and accumulate in the food chain.

NMP Partner Day - Poland8 Inter-Euro Technology Ltd Smart ceramic anodes Major obstacle to progress - lack of suitable anode materials. Available anodes offer Restricted choice of catalytic properties. Lack of reaction specificity High cost because based on platinum group metals Poor control in the preparative methods Little fundamental understanding of the mechanisms.

NMP Partner Day - Poland9 Inter-Euro Technology Ltd Smart ceramic anodes By applying a fundamental understanding of the processes involved highly selective smart anodes can be designed to achieve specific reactions as well as producing wide spectrum anodes for more general applications.
