COMPANY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

InPho<\/span>Cat<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0operates on the market since 2015. The founders and shareholders of the company, Prof. Wojciech Macyk and Dr. Przemys\u0142aw \u0141abuz, are employees of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Jagiellonian University. The owners of the company are the authors of several publications, patents and patent applications. They were PIs of scientific projects, including those financed by European and structural funds. In 2017, the company changed its headquarters and received laboratories and office space. Laboratories are equipped with the instruments and tools necessary to carry out research and development works. They are constantly developed to enable construction of devices and their prototypes for individual needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

ACTIVITY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The company’s activity is focused on research and development works aimed at the implementation of innovative technologies and products. Our experience and competence can be useful for customers without their own research and development facilities. In our laboratories innovative active coatings are developed and tested. The coating materials are engineered to achieve specific functionalities, such as, e.g., the photocatalytic activity for elimination of organic and microbiological pollutants, removal of unpleasant odors and volatile organic compounds, as well as water treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

GOALS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The goal of In<\/span>PhoCat<\/span><\/span><\/strong> is to develop and implement novel solutions and technologies based on the use of catalytic and photocatalytic materials, inorganic materials and organic-inorganic composites with cleaning, antibacterial and protective properties. The pandemic which appeared in 2020 paid our attention at the safety in working and living environment. In this context, we intensify our efforts to provide effective solutions that can facilitate protection against microbiological and chemical pollution.<\/span><\/p>\n

ACHIEVEMENTS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2020, we were awarded the title of laureate in the 13th edition of the Innovator Ma\u0142opolski<\/em> competition (Innovator of Lesser Poland) in the category of micro company for the development and implementation of the innovative solution that activates self-cleaning photocatalytic coatings containing titanium dioxide (TiO_{2<\/sub>), sensitizes them to visible light and increases their effectiveness. Photocatalytic coatings containing unmodified titanium dioxide require continuous illumination with UV light, which activates the effect of photocatalytic cleaning and disinfection. After modification of TiO2<\/sub> coatings with the awarded solution, the photocatalytic activity is induced by visible light, i.e. indoor diffused daylight or artificial white light.<\/span><\/p>\n}

Initially interested in biochemistry, he graduated from the Department of Biotechnology of Jagiellonian University in Krak\u00f3w (2006). Then he changed the field of research to semiconductor photochemistry and eventually completed his Ph.D. degree at the Faculty of Chemistry of Jagiellonian University (2011).
He is a member of the Team of Photocatalysis. His research interests are focused on the border of nanotechnology and biology and the interaction of nanoparticles with biostructures and biomolecules. His research interests include mechanisms of semiconductors phototoxicity especially those involving generation of reactive oxygen species at the surface of sensitized TiO_{2<\/sub>. He is the author of several papers and book chapters, several patents and patent applications. He developed the method of sensitization of TiO2<\/sub> colloids with simple organic compounds, which has found application in photocatalytic solution for contact lenses cleaning.
Since 2009 he is especially interested in the possibility of application of scientific discoveries. In 2015 he became laureate of the Top 500 Innovators Programme led by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Within the program, he took a professional internship at the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford.<\/p>\n}
