  Silver, Copper, Zinc… and now, LAM-X. What sets our antimicrobial Tech apart?    For years, metals like silver, copper, and zinc have dominated the antimicrobial materials market — and for good reason. They’ve saved lives and reduced microbial spread. But they also come with key limitations.    At LAM-X, we’ve developed a new class of biodegradable antimicrobial nanomaterials designed to go beyond metal-based coatings — without sacrificing performance.    Here’s how we compare: 🧪 No Leaching, No Toxicity  Unlike silver or copper, our materials don’t leach into the environment or human tissue. That means no accumulation in ecosystems and no metal-related cytotoxicity in sensitive applications like medical devices. ♻️ Biodegradable by Design  Metals persist. Our solution degrades safely and completely, aligning with sustainability goals in water treatment, medtech, and agriculture. 🛡️ Broad-Spectrum and Biofilm-Targeting  We target both bacteria and biofilms, which many metal-based agents struggle to fully disrupt. 💡 Engineered for Versatility    It's flexible, scalable, and robust across sectors.    Metals were a great first step. We're building what's next.  📣 Curious about the science? Let's connect.    #AntimicrobialInnovation #Nanomaterials #InfectionControl #MedTech #WaterFiltration #BiodegradableMaterials #LAMX #DeepTech

Glad to announce our new research is out in Catalysis Science & Technology! Title: Optimizing the influential variables for enhanced photocatalytic performance of synergistic Ag-TiO2/FLG heterojunctions towards rapid mineralization of emerging polystyrene microplastics in water. We successfully demonstrate the use of a novel Ag-TiO2/FLG heterojunction for the photocatalytic degradation of polystyrene microplastics in water. By optimizing key parameters, we achieved maximum degradation efficiency under visible light. A major step toward tackling plastic pollution!

The Semiconductor Industry’s PFAS Moment: From Awareness to Action Here’s what’s happening: MIT.nano is hosting an event on October 3 called “PFAS in Semiconductors: From Awareness to Action.” The talk will explore how PFAS are used in semiconductor manufacturing, where risks lie, and what steps companies like Edwards are already taking. They are mapping PFAS use, testing abatement systems in vacuum equipment, examining long-chain species under realistic chamber conditions, and planning to phase out or reduce PFAS in new tools by 2030. https://lnkd.in/dEskmkiJ It is encouraging to see the sector stepping up, not just acknowledging problems, but trying to address them from multiple angles: measurement, substitution, design, supplier engagement. And there is another piece of the puzzle we should not ignore. Bioremediation, using enzymes from microbes, fungi, or plants, offers a promising, sustainable way to clean up PFAS contamination that already exists in soil or water. Though this technology still faces challenges in scale, speed, and ensuring complete breakdown, it could become a vital global tool for restoring environmental and public health. #pfas #bioremediation #enzymes #health #cleanwaters

📍We were at the European Polymer Congress 2025! Elif Kaymazlar from our partner Delft University of Technology presented her research on designing #selfhealing lithium-ion conductive solid #polymer electrolytes to enhance #battery performance, as part of the #HealingBat project. Specifically, she explored the use of imine-functionalised polydimethylsiloxane, cross-linked with metal salts, to create reversible adhesive materials with self-healing and recycling capabilities. This work highlights a novel approach using humidity-triggered local chain reorientation and dynamic bonding, offering potential for safer, more durable, and sustainable solid #electrolytes to be integrated in #batteries. #EPF2025 #horizoneurope #batterychemistry

🌱 New Publication Alert! 🌱 Excited to share our latest work published in TAPPI Journal and the first out of Beatriz Maria Herrera Amaya: “Effects of biopolymer coatings on paper permeability and capillarity for paper-based rapid diagnostic test devices” In this study, we explored how microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and chitosan can be used to coat cotton filter paper and enhance its performance as a sustainable alternative to conventional nitrocellulose in rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs). 🔍 Key findings: LMFC-coated paper reduced flow time by 50%, showing faster and more reliable capillary action. BMFC+CNC coatings improved porosity and flow by 36.7%. Chitosan coatings, interestingly, created strong hydrophobic barriers — useful for controlled flow zones. 💡 These results demonstrate that renewable, bio-based coatings not only improve test performance but also address the sustainability challenges of single-use diagnostic devices. This collaboration with Virginia A. Davis and Maria Soledad Peresin highlights how biopolymer science can pave the way for greener, high-performance diagnostic tools. 📖 Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/g6xX4w6g #Sustainability #Biopolymers #Diagnostics #GreenChemistry #Innovation #Cellulose #BioMaterials

Proud to share that our team’s paper “Effects of biopolymer coatings on paper permeability and capillarity for paper-based rapid diagnostic test devices” has just been published in TAPPI Journal. Using biopolymers like microfibrillated cellulose, cellulose nanocrystals, and chitosan, we’ve shown it’s possible to tune flow rates, permeability, and barrier behavior on paper substrates — moving toward greener alternatives to conventional materials.

I am thrilled to share that a recent publication authored by Svena Yu from Jeff Dahn’s team and NOVONIX staff showcasing the power of all-dry synthesis of NMC cathode powders has been accepted for publication in the Journal of the Electrochemical Society. NOVONIX played a key role by contributing custom ultra-high nickel NMC 90/5/5 powders made with our patented All-Dry, Zero-Waste process. This breakthrough matters because it enables: ✅ Lower production costs ✅ Elimination of important waste streams (no water, sodium sulphate, or ammonia) ✅ High performance single crystal materials We’re not just improving batteries — we’re transforming how they’re made. If you want to explore partnership or technology opportunities with NOVONIX, let’s start a conversation. https://lnkd.in/gWdkQs_F   #NOVONIX #Cathode #NMC #BatteryMaterials
