CleanMIPTech Group is able to provide services on the development of tailor-made polymeric products, as well as in consultancy.

CleanMIPTech Group expertise includes:

- Polymer synthesis and processing, in particular, affinity polymers using clean technologies, such as supercritical carbon dioxide.

- Supercritical fluid technology and high-pressure equipment.

- Development techniques of synthetic affinity materials for separation, purification, enrichment and controlled release of drugs.

- Process design for the purification of active pharmaceutical principles (APIs).

- Functionalization processes using clean technologies, such as plasma and supercritical carbon dioxide.

- Rational design and optimization of affinity materials assisted by computational tools.

- Expertise in characterization and quantification techniques, such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), UV-Vis Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Particle Characterization - Morphologi G3, Dispersion Dynamics of Light (DLS), Nitrogen Porosimetry, Mercury Porosimetry, Elementary Analysis (EA), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), among others.

- Development on catalytic materials.

- Solid phase extraction processes and separation membranes.

- Development of new strategies for product development.

We are opened to collaborations in polymeric materials development, in particular affinity materials.
