On Wednesday 14/2 our school Chemistry Club students along with C’ class students visited the nanotechnology company ‘Creative Nano’.
‘Creative Nano’ is a Greek company founded in 2013, which takes action in the field of applied research in nanoscience. More specifically, it composes new nanomaterials, offers complete solutions to the industry for the processing of surfaces with multiple applications (antioxidant coatings, solar panels, antimicrobial surfaces, biodegradable polymers), suggests alternative courses of material composition that are friendlier to the environment and functions as a consultant to companies and industries. This period it participates among others in three big nanotechnology projects, ΒΙΟMAC (https://www.biomac-oitb.eu/en/normal/home), FreeMe (https://www.freeme-project.eu/) and MOZART (https://www.mozart-project.eu/).
Our students first attended an introductory presentation about the company activities, the field of nanochemistry and the advantages of nanomaterials by Dr. Alexandros Zoikis Karathanasis (CEO) and Dr. Alexios Grigoropoulos (Research Manager).
Then they were taken on a tour in the premises, the laboratories and the pilot units of the company and had the chance to interact with its scientific staff.
Our visit in ‘Creative Nano’ was completed with a discussion between our students and the company scientists on the subject of professional orientation.
Our school and the teacher in charge of the visit Mr. C. Makedonas deeply thank the company staff and especially the CEO, Dr. Alexandros Zoikis Karathanasis, and the Research Manager, Dr. Alexios Grigoropoulos, for the honour they did to us to receive us in the company premises and for the time they dedicated to us!
