NanoMyP ® is a spin <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> University <strong>of</strong> Granada and was founded in June 2011, to commercialize <strong>the</strong><br />

research results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> FQM-297 Research Group in <strong>nanotechnology</strong> and optical sensors.<br />

nanoMyP ® is a technology-based company which is specialist in <strong>the</strong> design and syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> nano and<br />

microparticles, polymeric and hybrid linear polymers and copolymers and smart materials with<br />

physicochemical properties tailored to customer needs (materials "on demand" ).<br />

Besides <strong>the</strong>se products, nanoMyP ® has its own line <strong>of</strong> R&D activities. The heart <strong>of</strong> this line is based on<br />

<strong>the</strong> design and syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> new highly innovative smart materials with important applications in<br />

biotechnology and <strong>the</strong> materials industry. Smart materials have <strong>the</strong> ability to change its color, shape, and<br />

electronic properties in response to environmental changes or alterations (light, sound, temperature,<br />

voltage). Thus, <strong>the</strong> materials <strong>of</strong> "tomorrow" that NanoMyP ® is designing "today" are:<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

Biocatalytic textiles (a new generation <strong>of</strong> smart textiles which can be used for immobilizing<br />

biomolecules) to be used on <strong>the</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> pharmaceutical drugs and in <strong>the</strong> development<br />

<strong>of</strong> immunoassay kits.<br />

Biocompatible smart textiles for photodynamic <strong>the</strong>rapies (dermatological and aes<strong>the</strong>tic<br />

treatments such as psoriasis, melanoma, warts, wrinkles, facial peels, etc.).<br />

Wireless robot for diagnosis <strong>of</strong> ocular diseases (diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma).<br />

Main capacities in <strong>nanotechnology</strong>/nanoscience<br />

Main capacities in <strong>nanotechnology</strong>/nanoscience are reflected in <strong>the</strong> families <strong>of</strong> products that <strong>the</strong> company<br />

sells:<br />

Syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). They are nanostructured polymers which have<br />

been syn<strong>the</strong>sized to selectively interact with a family <strong>of</strong> molecules or a single molecule.<br />

Design and syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> spherical nano and micro polymeric particles. The technology developed<br />

by nanoMyP ® allows, by chemical syn<strong>the</strong>sis, obtaining spherical polymeric nano-and<br />

microparticles, perfectly monodisperse and with a wide range <strong>of</strong> functional groups on <strong>the</strong> surface.<br />

Design and syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> hybrid superparamagnetic nano and microparticles. The technology<br />

developed by nanoMyP ® allows <strong>the</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> core-shell particles, in which <strong>the</strong> core is<br />

composed <strong>of</strong> magnetite, and <strong>the</strong> shell is made <strong>of</strong> a polymer matrix with different chemical<br />

functionalisations.<br />
