Ilika
Ilika invents, tests and selects materials in the laboratory that can be scaled-up for everyday commercial use.
Ilika's unique process is far quicker and more efficient than traditional materials discovery processes. Ilika uses high-throughput, or combinatorial, techniques which involve the rapid synthesis of a large number of different structurally-related materials in a few automated steps.
Ilika focuses on three sectors:
ENERGYWhere Ilika assesses materials for their greater capacity for energy storage and conversion efficiency, for example in batteries.
ELECTRONICSWhere materials created by Ilika rapidly improve the performance and efficiency of a range of electronic components, such as digital memory devices and sensors.
BIO-MEDICALWhere Ilika's subsidiary Altrika Ltd has already successfully commercialised an innovative product for the treatment of burns.
Ilika's proposition is all about speed and efficiency: speed of materials discovery, enabling rapid commercialisation and efficient production.
Ilika is involved in the development of materials for large, global markets addressing clear societal needs.
