The Valencian Innovation Agency (AVI) has awarded the project "Obtaining surfaces with bactericidal and virucidal functionality" led by the University Institute of Ceramic Technology Agustín Escardino of the Universitat Jaume I of Castellón, in consortium with the Technological Institute AIDIMME and the companies Vernís, S.A. and Liberfusta, S.L., with a budget of 716,673.54 euros.

The aim of this project is to obtain new antiseptic substances against the SARS-CoV-2 virus based on Ag nanocomposites and metal ions that affect the development of viruses and bacteria, to be incorporated into commonly used materials that are used in different sectors of the habitat, so that they are released in a controlled manner, with the aim of creating safe spaces in which the growth and transmission of bacteria and viruses is slowed down.

The research team of the Institute of Ceramic Technology of the UJI is made up of María José Orts Tarí, Sergio Mestre Beltrán, Ana Gozalbo Nebot, Vicente Sanz Solana, Adriana Belda Peña and María Dolores Palacios Tejero, from the Area of Nanotechnology. Their work will consist of the development and synthesis of active materials and their application on ceramic pieces.

Project co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Operational Programme for the Valencian Community 2014-2020.
