American Chemical Society Lists Ilika Scientists as “Most Cited”

A paper authored by two of Ilika’s founding scientists and published by the American Chemical Society in its Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry was one of the most cited of 2006. The paper, which was authored by Professor Brian Hayden and Dr Sam Guerin, describes Ilika’s proprietary high throughput physical vapour deposition technique. Ilika has successfully used the technique to synthesize novel materials for applications including fuel cell electrodes, hydrogen storage, electronic memory and piezoelectrics. Graeme Purdy, CEO stated, “From the inception of the company, we have strived to ensure that our work combines commercial relevance with leading-edge science. I’m thrilled that Professor Hayden and Dr Guerin have been recognised by their peers for their technological leadership in this field”. Ilika Technologies is a privately held company established in 2004. Ilika quickly established a reputation for innovation and rapid results in the high growth industry of materials development. The company specialises in the development and application of high-throughput, combinatorial R&D techniques for the accelerated discovery of new materials. In particular, Ilika has the capability of creating, as well as characterising, vast numbers of inorganic materials deposited using physical vapour deposition and chemical vapour deposition techniques as well as the capability of generating and screening thousands of bio-compatible polymers. The main markets that Ilika has chosen to focus upon include the energy, electronic and biomedical sectors. Ilika engages with customers through research collaborations, technology development projects and through licensing of materials which Ilika has developed.
