Nanotechnology

In this process, nanotechnology allows for the control of the internal structure of matter atom by atom or molecule by molecule. These advances have a significant impact on sectors such as electronics, medicine, energy, construction, and the aerospace industry. For example, nanomaterials can improve the durability of infrastructure, increase battery storage capacity, or enable the development of more compact and efficient electronic devices.

In this regard, we have made progress in recent years on several discoveries concerning materials with electromagnetic capabilities.

Innovation in Biofouling Control

Nanotechnology is our key tool for combating biofouling (biofouling), the phenomenon involving the adhesion and growth of organisms on aquatic surfaces.

Through the use of nanomaterials and nanostructured coatings, we modify the surface properties of materials. This allows us to effectively prevent biological adhesion and inhibit microbial growth.

Strategic Partnership: Monodon + University of Michigan

In collaboration with the University of Michigan, we are developing a next-generation biodegradable antifouling system.

• Recent Milestone: This year, we successfully validated the solution on one of our Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs).

monodon and Carlos III University of Madrid, in collaboration with UPCT, the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, and Biomimetic (Greece), are making advances in the research of new materials for soft robotics.
