 | Seeking safe and effective outdoor mosquito solutions |
|
Seeking safe and effective outdoor mosquito solutions to help consumers enjoy their yard and outdoor spaces without the annoyance and inconvenience of mosquito bites. Mosquitos are a common nuisance and disease spreading insect. In addition to being vectors of disease, one of the main reasons we want to tackle this pest is to allow people to enjoy outdoor activities more frequently – e.g., eating outside, spending time with family, and watching outdoor sporting events. Here in P&G Ventures, we are looking for existing, in market solutions which exist globally that are specifically designed to kill or repel mosquitos. |
| | Seeking Upskilling and Next-Generation Activated Carbon Fiber Technology |
|
BACKGROUND P&G competes across many consumer-packed goods categories where malodor is a top consumer concern. We believe that incorporating volatile organic compound (VOC) adsorption technologies into products could serve our consumers’ needs for odor control. We have evaluated numerous adsorbent technologies and activated carbon fiber (ACF) is of particular interest. NEED DESCRIPTION We are seeking to consult and potentially partner with an expert in activated carbon fiber to understand the impact of precursors, processing conditions, and methods of incorporating ACF into textiles and/or nonwovens on volatile organic compound adsorption performance, durability, and large-scale manufacturability. As a first step, we are interested in the identified SME giving a seminar on the basics of ACF to educate the organization. Longer-term, we are interested in co-developing and testing various ACFs in our in vitro and in vivo methods to link the various parameters of ACFs to their odor control performance. Below are more specific descriptions of the expertise and capabilities we are seeking. |
 | Seeking Glue-free and Plastic-free closure of paper packaging |
|
We are looking for a technology to seal paper packaging materials (paper only with no plastic coating) without using traditional glues or any other additive. For a sustainable packaging application, we're looking for a technology to seal or crimp kraft paper without using glue or plastic coating applied on the paper. Ideally, we want to seal 100% untreated paper without adding any other chemicals. Our preferred solution would be a folding of the packaging material |
 | New antimicrobial and anti-tumor treatment |
|
University of Valencia have developed a peptide that can be used as antimicrobial in the treatment of Gram -, Gram + bacterias and fungus as well as effective for use in cancer treatment. The rapid rate at which antimicrobial peptides promote cell death is an additional factor that contributes to reduce the chance of developing resistance. Its use together with existing chemotherapeutic agents would increase the effectiveness of cancer treatment and in particular breast cancer. |
 | Odor Detection Platform - Low power, Low cost, Programmable Sensor Array |
|
Researchers at the University of Manitoba have developed an artificial olfactory platform that uses commercially available, silicon-based floating gate devices functionalized through selective, electrochemical polymer deposition to produce “programmable” olfactory sensor arrays. |
 | New vitamin D analogues based on the C-to-Si exchange in the side chain, along with several groups at the Si atom |
|
This new analogues can be used to develop new drugs with antitumor action or with action on other diseases by acting on the VDR receptor with low or negligible toxic calcemic side effects. The innovative aspects are i) diminished or non-calcemic side effects and ii) slower proliferation rates of tumoral cells. |
