Design description
The worked out technology of objects’ preparation is ecologically friendly and energy saving in comparison to technologies of analogues’ production.
Modification of coatings for intensification of bactericidal activity is conducted in line with innovative technique of authorship.
1. Nanotubular anodized aluminum and its alloys oxide coatings can be the basis for devices with high antibacterial effect, used, in particular, for air disinfection by suppression of pathogenic flora in the air.
2. Biocompatible nanotubular anodized titanium and its alloys oxide coatings with antibacterial effect cab be used:
- as element of implantant carrying base with advanced hemo- and biocompatibility for apposition with blood and human tissues;
- for creating photocatalysts for air filtering from toxics;
- as self-purifying surfaces.
Field of application, analogues
Ecology (including radioecology), health care (dentistry, orthopedics, spare-part surgery), agriculture and industry, in production of building materials and as raw material for light industry.
Existing analogues: titanium implantants with plasma coatings made out of hydroxyapatite, the last should meet high demands of its purity and crystallinity.
Analogues with antibacterial effect are ultraviolet irradiators which, in comparison to the offered devices, firstly, consume electric energy, and secondly, harm living organisms.
Novelty: bactericidal activity of coatings is predetermined by high-surface area of nanotubular oxide coatings and their further modification by metals’ nanoparticles.
Development stage
1. Pilot samples of coatings are ready.
2. Complex of laboratory technologies of forming nanostructured oxide materials as a basis for biocompatible coatings with high antibacterial activity has been worked out.
Basis for conducting research and development on creating commercial prototypes of units for air disinfection by suppression of pathogenic flora in the air has been made.
Market estimates
Biocompatible materials are fast developing sphere of science and production, what is determined by, in particular, needs of practical medicine and ecological security. At present market of biocompatible coatings has only started to develop. However, by initial estimate annual sales of innovative biocompatible and antibacterial goods and services, produced by Russian enterprises, may account for up to 40 billion RUR; potential export turnover may account for up to 500 million USD. Prevented ecological damage and impact on medical industry can be rather significant.
Demand for biocompatible materials in the USA, according to experts’ estimates, is to increase precisely by 6.6% annually and to reach 3.5 billion USD level by 2010. One of the reasons of such a growth is strengthening requirements to characteristics of these materials, imposed by FDA.
Basic time and value characteristics of the innovative design
Commercialization of the innovative design is planned to be completed in 2 years. Payback period of the project is 3 years. Value of works for project implementation does not exceed 5 million RUR. By initial estimates the design is to have high economic and commercial market potential.
Financial forecast
1. Aggregate need of the project in investments is up to 5 million RUR, out of which nearly 2 million RUR are needed for commercialization of the design and certification of the product, and nearly 3 million RUR are needed for setting up of the production facility.
2. Project investment period if not more than 3 years. Direct investments in form of venture capital financing are more appropriate.
3. Project payback period is 2-3 years.
The share and the profit of an investor may account for 50% annually.
