Editorial - Contemporary issues from the network

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

the second year of the BioNanoNet association (Verein), the owner of the BioNanoNet

GmbH, started in July and we are very happy that the number of members and supporters

of this valuable organisation increased: starting with 14 organisations when founding the

association on July 8th 2014, we now have already 22 organisational members which shows

a significant increase of more than 50% within the first operative year. The interaction within

this community especially during the meetings in April and September, discussing creative

ideas and visions in the focus areas nanotoxicology, sensortechnologies as well as in

health-safety-medicine, led and will lead in the near future to the establishment of important

initiatives and brands:

(i) NanoSafety-Austria: since 2009 BioNanoNet contributes to a significant number

of activities which are taking place in Europe to increase safety of nano-related

products and applications. The already established national group NanoSafety-

Austria is the national hub in this field and is well integrated in the European

NanoSafety-framework. The key role of our group is already visible by the fact

that 3 HORIZON 2020-projects have been funded, having BioNanoNet on board

to develop the nano-safety strategy.

(ii) NanoMedicine-Austria including NanoPharma: In our Newsletter this spring

(1/2015) we highlighted the international initiative towards a European NanoMed-

icine clustering in which the “NanoMedicine-Austria” will become one of the na-

tional hubs. Hence, we kindly invite you to save the date of the “NanoMedicine-

Austria public meeting” which will be held on April 5th 2016, 4 p.m. in Krems. Main

objective of this initiative is to strengthen cooperation of Austrian nanomedicine

community in their high-quality science and research and increase the technology

transfer and collaboration with companies.

NEWS 03/2015

In addition to the mentioned initiatives, BioNanoNet is supporting the further development of

the sensortechnologies-community. According to European systematic approach, this focus

group is creating now an expertise compendium and is co-working on the development of a

European strategy in the field of sensor systems.

All organizations which are able to offer technologies fitting in these focus groups are highly

welcome to join these activities. Please contact the BioNanoNet-team for any further.

For the forthcoming round of H2020-calls we are prepared to assist you with your proposals

THE WOOD POLYMER COMPOSITES DIVISION In the wood polymer composites division, the research focus is on composites from renew-able resources. Both thermoplastic as well as thermoset polymers are used as matrices. As reinforcements, natural fibers and wood, but also inorganic and synthetic fibers and fillers, respectively, are employed. Numerous different products can be made from those compo-sites via processes like extrusion, injection molding or 3D-printing. Besides the manifold options for shaping these materials, it is also possible to tailor their property profiles. With our unique know how, we can even produce complex parts from high-tech-ceramics based on renewable resources. Research topics: Three research teams, which are supported by an inter-divisional „analytics and methods“-team, carry out the R&D activities.

Injection Moulding & Material Development (IMM)

Process, Simulation & Modeling (PSM)

Fibres, Carbon & Ceramics (FCC)

Analytics & Methods (A&M) The IMM team focuses on the development of innovative biocomposites and natural fiber reinforced polymers for injection molding applications. Ecological considerations, character-ization and selection of raw materials, and the respective compounding and final shaping processes are the core areas. The FCC team deals with innovative fiber reinforced composites, carbon materials and ce-ramics. One focus is on the characterization and modification of fiber surfaces, and the in-vestigation of structure-property relationships for the optimization of the fiber/matrix interac-tion. The topic “carbonization” comprises the production of carbon fibers as well as porous, activated carbon materials based on renewable resources, like wood, lignin, and cellulose, respectively. Furthermore, special thermoset-based composites are used to create silicon carbide-ceramics for structural applications. The PSM team develops and optimizes extrusion processes. The enhancement of simula-tion- and modeling tools for mixing and plastification procedures is a core area. Further-more, the research focus is on coextrusion, foaming, and the production of filaments for FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D-printing from biomaterials. The A&M team supports and cross-links all areas in terms of analytics and method devel-opment. Methods & Equipment In the wood polymer composites division, R&D projects from the lab- up to the pilot plant scale can be realized using own equipment. In addition, equipment of the JKU is available via various joint projects.

Green Composites The team green composites deals with fibre reinforced composites of textile reinforcements, which are largely (at best completely) composed of renewable raw materials. The research goal is to develop materials based on renewable raw materials - both for the polymeric ma-trix as well as for the fibre reinforcement component. Laminates The aim of this work group is to enhance the properties of laminates. This ranges from sur-face functionalization (appearance, haptic, scratch resistance, printability, self-healing, self-cleaning…) to functionalization of the layer composites (deformation properties, integration of sensors and interlayers…). Paper Properties This team has its focus on the optimisation of paper properties. This covers issues which analyse the impact of different process parameters and process steps on the surface prop-erties of different kind of papers (décor paper, kraft paper, sack paper). Process Design The research group process design does process analysis concerning an efficient use of resources, energy and raw materials. Based on systematic evaluation of process data a knowledge based process control should be established.

BioNanoNet project presentations

Gold Graphene Nano Composite Sensors for Biomole-cule Detection (NaCoS)

Within the 10. Call “FTI Initiative Produktion der Zukunft – TRANSNATIONALE Kooperative F&E

Projekte“, the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, Health & Environment Department,

member of BioNanoNet, has successfully proposed the NaCoS project. Based on the preparation of

China-Austria-calls in the nano-field which was supported by BioNanoNet, this project has been

submitted addressing the topic “Nanoimprintlithographe / Graphene / Sensors/ Roll to Roll / Additive

manufacturiung / 3 D Printing” and will run 18 months till March 2017. The consortium is led by the

AIT, further partners are SCIO Holding GmbH (AT) and Shanghai University, Nanoscience & Tech-

nology Research Center (China).

Abstract

The decentralization of the health care system driven by the demographic change creates a strong

demand for biosensors that enable molecular diagnostics outside of laboratories at the point-of-

care. Among the various molecular detection methods, electrochemical biosensors are most appeal-

ing because of their potential for cost-effective and flexible production. In particular, the progress in

printing technologies is opening new possibilities for the fabrication of electronic components in

combination with functional materials, which are key components in biosensors. At present, single

parameter glucose tests for diabetes monitoring still represent the most prominent domain for print-

ed biosensors. However, a wide range of other applications at the point-of-care is currently emerg-

ing such as the early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, which in 2010 have been the cause of

death for 38% of the Chinese and 44% of the Austrian population. These applications typically re-

quire the detection of several different biomarkers. Key requirements for a successful commerciali-

zation of electrochemical biosensors therefore are that they can be fabricated entirely by printing

processes and that they are capable of measuring multiple molecular biomarkers simultaneously

with suitable sensitivity and selectivity.

The core innovation of the NaCoS project is a novel approach for the modular fabrication of multi-

parameter biosensors with application specific biofunctionalisation taking full advantage of printing

technologies. This modular approach will facilitate the flexible production of biosensors using off-

of 44

NEWS 03/2015

the-shelf electrode arrays without the need for a multi-step biofunctionalisation of the electrodes.

More precisely, in the NaCoS project we will realize electrochemical nanosensors for the quantifica-

tion of three biomarkers (CRP, BNP and thrombin) relevant for the diagnosis and treatment of cardi-

ovascular diseases as application example.

For the fabrication of the electrodes screen printing will be explored, as it is compatible with roll-to-

roll processing for mass production at a later stage. Printing the working electrodes, the reference

electrodes, the insulation layers and the liquid confinement borders will be investigated to enable

the integration with subsequent biofunctionalization by inkjet printing of nanocomposites.

Aiming at the realisation of an electrochemical multi-parameter biosensor concept which meets the

requirements for successful commercialization, this cross-border research project brings together

complementary expertise in the areas of printed electrodes (SCI), nanocomposite materials (SHU),

biofunctionalisation and bioinkjet printing (AIT). The cooperation between SHU and the Austrian

partners will strengthen the scientific cooperation between China and Austria.

Project MIOMI - The microcosm in and around us: microorganisms on surfaces in medicine and industry

Microorganisms are the most common living organisms on earth, however, the general

awareness of the influence of microbes on humans both in medical or technological context

is limited. This project enables young students particularly with immigrant background in the

region of south Burgenland (Austria) from elementary school to high school to explore the

role of microorganisms by hands-on experiments. The workshops include interdisciplinary

experiments and problem solving and will focus on the diverse effects of microorganisms

and their attachment on surfaces in medicine and industry. This will be supported by coop-

eration with regional and international innovation companies. Following the workshops, the

educational activities and material will be further adapted in a second implementation phase

in order to achieve a sustainable integration of activities in the curriculum (school lesson) to

launch multidisciplinary projects and facilitate peer-learning.

The project engages young students between seven and eighteen years of age in hands-on

experiments covering e.g. the following research questions:

• Where can we find microorganisms in our environment? • Which organisms can be found around us?

• Which antibiotic resistance levels are exhibited by the microbes?

• Which surface properties contribute to colonization by microorganisms?

• How can we prevent surface colonization by microorganisms? • Which applications of nanotechnology can prove useful for our lives?

Age-dependant background information and first training in basic techniques in the field of

microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry or chemistry will be provided in hands-on

sessions that take place in the school laboratory/class room or the laboratories of the Uni-

versity of Applied Sciences in Graz.

NAMDIATREAM ELECTED BEST NMP European project award at the EuroNanoForum!

NAMDIATREAM has been selected as

best project out of over 1000 EU

launched under the EU Funding Instru-

ments in the field of nanotechnologies

and advanced materials. NAMDI-

ATREAM was announced as winner of

The FutureFlash! Best Project competi-

tion by Clara de la Torre (Director Gen-

eral of the European Commission Direc-

torate for Research and Innovation) at

the gala event of the EuroNanoFo-

rum2015 in Riga in the attendance of over 1500 participants.

The project was coordinated by Prof. Yuri Volkov and Dr. Adriele Prina-Mello (see picture)

from the Trinity College Dublin and comprised four distinct technology platforms, altogether

integrating 22 partners from 10 European countries. The BioNanoNet member AIT Austrian

Institute of Technology led the technology platform dealing with the development of a novel

in-vitro diagnostic method based on nanoparticles combining plasmonic and magnetic

properties (Joerg Schotter, H&E Department).

NAMDIATREAM has successfully developed innovative diagnostic devices for the early

diagnosis of three common cancer types: lung, breast and prostate. NAMDIATREAM tech-

nology is based on cutting edge nanotechnology-based tools for multi-modal detection of

biomarkers, permitting identification of cells indicative of early disease onset in a high-

specificity and throughput format in clinical, laboratory and point-of-care devices.

NanoDiode – Steering Committee Meeting, General

Assembly and External Advisory Board Meeting

When? 17 - 19 June 2015

Where? Krakow, Poland

Two years in (NanoDiode started on 1st July 2013 with 14 partners), the NanoDiode project

members have gathered together to discuss the progress, results, needs and gaps to over-

come and further developments, before starting in the final year of work.

The three days of meeting started off with an internal steering committee meeting in order

to discuss current administrative and financial issues as well as previous project results.

The second day, the NanoDiode External Advisory Board (EAB) has been invited to have

an insight in the work done so far and to give valuable input in steering the projects way

forward. Focus was put on project findings, recommendations and best practices identified

in the past two years. The bigger picture of NanoDiode was presented and future strategies

to increase the visibility of the project findings during the project lifetime and beyond were

developed.

The last day was not only focused on work done, but thought-provoking. The general as-

sembly focused in small working groups on the integration of responsible research and in-

novation. Furthermore nanodialogue and hot topics in the nanodebate were discussed. Fi-

nally the expectations on NanoDiode and expectations of partners have been debated in

order to responsible “Spread the Word” on nanotechnologies. Finally, the consortium dis-

cussed the findings of the project and formulated policy briefs which will be further elabo-

rated in the final year of NanoDiode.

NanoDiode will be running until end of June 2016 – with still many interesting events to

come. Please save the date of NanoDiode final conference: May 30th – 31st, 2016. More

First meeting of the National Platforms on

Nanomedicine

When? 22 – 23 June 2015

Where? Ispra, Italy

From the 22nd to the 23rd of June, the JRC hosted the first meeting of the National Platforms

on Nanomedicine.

13 out of 16 established European Platforms have presented their community and provided

an overview on their organisations, regional strengths regarding facilities, scientific exper-

tise and interdisciplinary networks as well as ongoing efforts in the Member States to sup-

port the translation of nanomedicine into clinical applications. The participants shared expe-

riences on their dialogues with national ministries in order to raise awareness of the authori-

ties on the relevance of nanomedicines to address unmet medical needs. The European

Platforms agreed to further intensify their collaboration and a common action plan that

could include a regulatory roadmap as well as the establishment of suitable training pro-

grammes were considered.

The next meeting of the European Platforms on Nanomedicine is scheduled for October

2015.

BioNanoNet would like to thank the JRC for the invitation and hosting.

INSPIRED – Q2 Meeting When? 25 – 26 June, 2015

Where? Ascot, United Kingdom

In June the INSPIRED consortium met for the 6-months-meeting in Ascot, UK on June 25th-

26th, 2015. The project coordinator DI Dr. Andreas Klug, MBA from NanoTecCenter Weiz

Forschungsgesellschaft mbH (Austria), who is supported by Dr. Paul Reip from Intrinsiq

Materials Ltd (UK) welcomed all attendees and briefly explained the 13 individual consorti-

um partners from 7 European countries, followed by a short introduction round of all meet-

ing participants. Paul Reip briefly went through the overview of the program and highlighted

the flow of the program from materials scale up through ink formulations, print, cure and

end user exemplar demonstrators. Andreas Klug emphasized the importance of the inter-

faces/interactions between consortium partners and work packages which is paramount in

terms of printing patterns, printability of the inks as well as for the nanosafety approach.

Each partner presented the progress/highlights made during the first 6 months of the pro-

ject followed by a discussion about the former results and planned future work of the IN-

SPIRED project.

BioNanoNet is responsible for the nanosafety assessment of processes/tasks involved on

the INSPIRED project. Nanosafety assessment tasks include assessment of the nano-

materials and nano-relevant processes of INSPIRED, and their screening. The key aim is to

get recommendations of safe processes for the industries related to manufactured nano-

materials for printing. In order to screen each process within INSPIRED toward nanosafety

and standardization together with technical developers/technicians, BioNanoNet together

with TECNALIA visited the sites of UK-based companies THOMAS SWAN & CO LIMITED

in Newcastle as well as Intrinsiq Materials Ltd in London.

BioNanoNet Strategy Meeting

When? 10 – 11 September 2015

Where? Laßnitzhöhe, Styria

The strategy workshop was held from 10th – 11th of September in Laßnitzhöhe and had the

overall topic of “(Bio)Nanotechnologie – Potenzial für unsere Gesundheit”. The workshop

setting was modified compared to last year by providing less presentations but more time-

to-talk-to-each-other which stimulated the communication in between the participants. In all

three thematic sessions, sensortechnology, nanotoxicology and health-safety-medicine, the

people were deeply involved in intensive discussions about how to collaborate and add val-

ue addressing common goals, how to overcome barriers (e.g. in technology transfer, stand-

ardisation, along the innovation process), and in which fields of application the potential of

bio-/nanotechnologies can be useful. The huge number of interesting topics collected on

the first day could be summarized towards a plan of activities to be followed in the next

working period. Once again we thank all participants for your valuable contributions and

hope that you perceive the time you spent at the meeting as inspiring for future collabora-

tions.
