2011 New frontiers for nanosponges: agro-food industry, conservation of flowers and fruits

A Since 1999 Sea Marconi has developed, synthesised and patented new materials designated as “Functionalised nanosponges” which, having a carrier function, are able to absorb, hold and release in a controlled manner, organic molecules or metallic iones, providing surprising application properties. Nanosponges are polymers, natural derivates from the amid based on cyclodextrins, formulated through special chemical reactions of reticulation with

Nanospunges won the prestigious award for Technology of the month in Germany

An Italian company, Sea Marconi, together with University of Turin have synthesized and patented a type of macromolecules, nanosponges, starting from natural oligosaccharides, cyclodextrins. These compounds can be exploited in several applications thanks to their unique and peculiar structure enabling the inclusion of several substances, that can be either strongly retained or released in a controlled way. So far, the
