Areas of FocusSustainable Economy

• Clean Technology• Anti viral• Anti bacterial• Anti fungal• Water purification• Functional Fibres

• Energy Management• Hydrogen storage materials• Photovoltaic silicon film production• Efficient coolants & refrigerants

• Performance Materials• Tooling• CMP• Catalysis• Super Capacitors




Market Environment & Sector Needs

Need for multimodal solutions for antiviral &antimicrobial materials

- MRSA costs the NHS £1BN in the UK.- An Avian flu pandemic among humans could cost

the global economy about ca. US$1.25 trillion.

AVNP




Market Environment & Sector Needs

Low pressure and temperature materialsneeded to carry H 2 gas

- Lack of material hampering wider and more rapid adoption.- >50 million new vehicle sales globally each year

Inefficient manufacturing processes for solar grade silicon keeps cost per Watt too high for mass adoption

- 26,000 tons of Si required in 2004, 90% supply achieved- $6BN market ca.12% growth

- Si pricing upward pressure




Nanomaterial fabrication processes

high volumeproduction

but limited quality /yield of material

typically used for oxides for

sunscreens, etc

medium volumeproduction

but long processingcycles, quality issues

typically used for oxides - silica,

alumina

low volumeproduction

used for multilayer structured

applications

typically used for photovoltaics, highvalue applicationssuch as nano bar

codes

medium / highvolume production

with high quality of material

typically used for premium applications,

metals, oxides,carbides, nitrides

Advantages of using plasma

- material uniformity- chemical composition- no contamination- better control- scalability- flexibility

- controllability- safety
