Innovhub-SSI was founded on 1st October 2011 as a new Institution of Chamber of Commerce of Milan, by the merging of 5 different Institutional reserch centres engaged in technical services, innovation & research for several distinct industrial areas such as pulp and paper, packaging, gemmology, fuels, oils & detergents, textile.
Our activities and services are:
-Applied research and support for industrial development;
-Technical analysis and tests;
-certification of products and production processes;
-training, infromation, documentation, dissemination, promotion;
-partecipation to technical commettee for standardisation of technical norms at national and international level;
-support for reserch, development and innovation activities, also in collaboration with external partners.
Our Know-how includes:
Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology,Chemistry, Biopolymers, Analytical Chemistry.
We work on:
-Biorefinery concepts applied to agro-forestry and food industry residues,
-development of new materials with functional activities for the control of microbial proliferation,
-antimicrobial activity tests conducted according to international standard methods,
-use of enzymes for the functionalization of biopolymers,
-certification of biodegradability of materials/ products that are used in the environment and/or for their end of life disposal into organic recovery routes, such as composting or anaerobic digestion plants for the production of compost or biogas.
Current research activities:
-Biochemicals from industrial residuals of poplar bark and compost from poplar bark: studies on antimicrobials, antioxidants and biosurfantants.
-development of antimicrobial agents from active natural extracts and inorganic nanoparticles/ fibre hybrid systems for application in paper based products or other biomaterials.
-Studies on biodegradability of innovative materials like functionalised fibres, innovative composites.
