Hypucem is a spin-off company founded by four scientists coming from the University of Naples and from the National Research Council of Italy.
The team has patented a new material, a hybrid polyurethane and cement foam. Being made of a polymeric material, the polyurethane foam, and an inorganic material, the cement, it meets the advantages of the two worlds, the organic and the inorganic, all in one material!
The company mission is addressed to the development, production and distribution, also through the use of subcontracting and/or relationships, of innovative materials for specific applications, such as: construction, transport, aerospace, food, environment etc.
The development of innovative and sustainable materials through the application of proprietary or third party technologies, and the consequent protection of intellectual property and the related transfer to producers and distributors also through licensing or transfer agreements.
The granting of intellectual property rights on the national and foreign markets.
Consultancy with reference to innovative materials and more generally any technical consultancy falling within the corporate purpose.
Dott. Marino Lavorgna
CO-Founder and Researcher of CNR
PhD is researcher of Institute of Polymers, Composite and Biomaterials of National Research Council. He got the degree in Industrial Chemistry at Federico II University in Napoli (Italy) and the PhD in Polymer Engineering at the Loughborough University in 2009. His main research interests include: a) the development of multifunctional hybrid and nanocomposite materials by using carbonaceous filler (i.e carbon nanotubes and graphene and derivatives) and inorganic fillers (i.e SBA and halloysite, TiO2 and MMT and organo-modified clay) both in conventional polymers and polymers from renewable sources, b) the development of hybrid materials by sol-gel approach as coatings, c) the development of composites and thermal insulation foams, d) the exploitation of ionic liquids as templates and innovative surfactants to tailor the morphology of filler within polymeric matrix, and e) the morphological characterization of polymer nanocomposites by Small Angle X-ray Scattering analysis.
