Executive Summary
Oxonica plc is one of the leading European nanomaterials groups with products already launched into international markets. It was spun-out from Oxford University in 1999 and currently employs 37 professional staff. Oxonica's mission is to develop innovative commercial solutions for international markets using its expertise in the design and application of nanomaterials. The company has three operating divisions: Oxonica Energy, Oxonica Healthcare and Oxonica Materials. Commercialised products are: Envirox(TM) Fuel Borne Catalyst - a fuel borne nanocatalyst for diesel engines which reduces fuel consumption with savings of 5-10% and reduces particulate emissions by up to 15%. The product has already been adopted by Stagecoach Group in the UK and is distributed by Veridium Technology Inc. to petroleum companies in the Philippines for use in a premium diesel. Optisol(TM) UV Absorber - a photostable UV absorber that provides enhanced and longer lasting protection against UVA in sun-care and anti-ageing products. Optisol(TM) also reduces the formation of free radicals produced from exposure to the sun and which are implicated in premature skin ageing. Boots Group plc was the first to incorporate Optisol(TM) in their new Soltan Facial Sun Defense Cream for 2005. In addition, Oxonica is working to generate a range of future product applications. These include additional fuel saving additives, biomarker detection technology for the clinical and life science diagnostics markets, further UV protection applications, including tailoring the Optisol(TM) product in the cosmetics markets, and new products for plastics and coatings, transparent conducting films and security markers. Optisol(TM) and Envirox(TM) are trademarks of Oxonica.
