ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION

Czech is Nano

Founded on 27 November 2014, the Czech Nanotechnology Industries Association (CNIA) is presided by Jiří Kůs. It brings together Czech companies from different fields of enterprise from textile industry and biotechnology through environmental applications and optics to power generation, focusing on nanotechnology as their principal subject of enterprise. Some of the members of the Association implement nanotechnologies in their production processes, while

NANO DAYS

others focus on development and production of nano products or applications thereof.

The education project Czech Is Nano organised by the Association includes Nano Days held in the Czech Republic and abroad with the

CNIA aims to represent the interests of Czech nanotechnology companies and research on national and international level in the business sector as well as in the field of research and education. The Association builds on the high international reputation of the Czech Republic in the nano domain and strives to spread positive awareness of nanotechnologies among the general public.

It also actively seeks support and opportunities for cooperation between business and research entities.

The Association is a partner of the Office of the Government of the Czech Republic, ministries, and other government organisations in developing of the economic strategy of the Czech Republic. It also takes an active part in economic diplomacy projects, aiming to represent Czech nanotechnology companies abroad.

aerogel provides for effective internal insulation, eliminating the need for complicated redevelopment.

ENERGY STORAGE AND SAVING Micro- and nanostructure optics have enabled production of light sources and sensors capable of directing light beams more effectively, thus significantly improving the efficiency and reducing the cost of energy.

High-capacity batteries with electrodes of nanomaterials offer up to 15 times higher maximum output; they are also a lot safer and fully recyclable.

HEALTH AND SECURITY The pandemic of COVID-19 gave impulse to the development of large capacities for production of nanofiber face masks and respirators in the Czech Republic. Such masks and respirators are highly effective in capturing ultrafine particles. Nanofiber membranes in patches help to heal wounds.

Holographic nanostructures protect valuable documents and banknotes against forgery.

PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF NANOFIBER MATERIALS

NAFIGATE Park NAFIGATE Park specializes in manufacturing and development of nanofiber membranes and multi-layer nano-laminates optimised for your innovative products.

NAFIGATE Park offers rolls of base material coated in a nanofiber layer meeting the requirements specified by the customer. If required, such layer can be protected by another layer of non-woven textile. The rolls can then be cut to the desired width.

Possible applications: Filtration of air and liquids: gas turbines, industrial dust collection, synthetic HEPA media Cosmetics: membrane for instant, non-invasive REDUCTION OF WRINKLES Medicine / Pharmacy: Wound dressing, tissue engineering, drug delivery, face masks / OOP Membranes for functional wear Membranes for battery separators Acoustic materials Membranes for battery separators Polymers:
