HT Materials Science

HT Materials Science (HTMS) is the global leader in smart heat transfer fluids for commercial and industrial heating and cooling systems. We help any business with a high heating or cooling demand to make significant energy and carbon savings – from commercial offices and data centres through to manufacturers, pharmaceutical & healthcare facilities and more. Our patented Maxwell™ product is a drop-in nanofluid additive that’s proven to enhance the heat transfer of a base fluid by more than 15%. It delivers immediate results (with no costly downtime needed), making HVAC systems instantly more efficient and sustainable. Maxwell™ can reduce a company’s energy costs by 12-15% or more and can also increase a system’s capacity. This means businesses can get more out of their existing equipment for longer, as their heating or cooling demands increase. Our technology is already being successfully used by a host of major companies across the US, EMEA and Asia, bringing them enhanced efficiencies, cost savings and lower carbon footprints as a result. At HTMS we proudly work with some of the best science and engineering minds in the world, with offices in Dublin, Lecce (Italy) and New York. R&D is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re constantly developing future technologies to help businesses reduce energy consumption and their environmental impact

FabricNano

FabricNano is a biotechnology company based in London. Our mission is to transform industrial chemical processes using cell-free biomanufacturing. Empowering users with the world’s most advanced, flexible and easily-scalable biocatalyst platform. We develop and sell biocatalysts for high volume industrial applications. Data-driven in our approach to enzyme and Immobilization Engineering™, we only use biocatalyst materials that can already be manufactured by the tonne. Our clients range from startups to international chemical clients like Sumitomo Chemical Company, all of which are looking for highly stable and performant biocatalysts to enable profitable production of sustainable and bio-based chemicals. The FabricNano offer starts with novel Immobilization Engineering™ for enzyme stabilization, followed by budget-conscious protein engineering and process engineering to reach the client’s targets for commercialization of the new biochemical production process.

SPARTA Biodiscovery

SPARTA Biodiscovery is a brand-new spin-out company from Imperial College London developing and commercialising the SPARTA® technology. SPARTA® (Single Particle Automated Raman Trapping Analysis) is a breakthrough analytical technology for automated, label-free comprehensive characterisation of nanoformulations. SPARTA® is available through our service offering and in the near future as a benchtop instrument.

Advanced Material Development

World-Scale Challenges. Nano-scale Solutions. Advanced Material Development believes that the rapid advancement of applied material science is a critical route for helping solve some of the World's biggest environmental and societal challenges. AMD is a commercial enterprise that funds programmes of development and related research in materials nanotechnology which are judged to offer practicable, effective routes to licensed technology and know-how which in turn can be taken profitably to market through a variety of commercial arrangements. AMD aims to advance this materials research to commercial success and beyond and to continue delivering a funding pipeline to the best university departments in the UK. AMD’s initial partnership with the University of Sussex Material Physics department will focus on 3-4 projects developing viable applications for many global challenges including packaging and food waste, transportation, healthcare and anti-counterfeiting. Professor Alan Dalton and his twenty strong team at the University of Sussex, is at the forefront of international efforts to understand and explore the fundamental nature and attributes of ‘two-dimensional’ nanomaterials such as graphene, and thereby provide some of the bridges to the multiplicity of potentially beneficial applications with far-reaching implications for the human challenges of global sustainability.
