The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be realized first in household cleaning applications, a market valued in more than 26 billion/year, where currently only about 3% of the market is filled with eco-friendly alternatives. Cleancult new scrubbing system will allow the development of more efficient and potent cleaning products, capable of competing with traditional petroleum-based brands while helping to reduce the water pollution effects due to laundry/cleaning activities, reduce the appearance of skin conditions in customers due to the continuous exposure to harmful chemicals found in traditional cleaning products, and reduce the energetic cost related to the use of hot water in laundry applications. Cleancult objective is to open the door to novel green clean technologies, by first introducing our all-natural scrubbing system in our products and potentially license the technology to other green detergents manufacturers, and later introduce our own all-natural green surfactant molecule, with the solid intention of increasing the green cleaners? participation in the marker by at least 20% in the next 5 years.This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will provide funding for the development of a micellar system(s) composed of a biopolymer particle and a naturally derived from sustainable sources surfactant compound. The conjugation and stabilization mechanism of these micellar systems are the main focus on the research objectives, together with the inclusion of different functionalization to improve oil removal, avoid re-deposition and also enhance the antibacterial properties of the scrubbing system. The complete characterization of the micellar system and its efficacy in removing soil/dirt stains will be achieved through the use of spectroscopic, rheological and hydrodynamic techniques, surface chemistry modifications, and applying the global standards for detergency determination. The research team will work to provide a commercially ready product at the end of this SBIR Phase I project, and due to already in place collaborations with manufacture facilities will avoid delays in the introduction of Cleancults' new line of green powerful cleaners.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该小企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第一阶段项目的更广泛影响/商业潜力将首先在家庭清洁应用中实现，该市场价值每年超过 260 亿美元，目前该市场仅占约 3%环保的替代品。 Cleancult 新的洗涤系统将有助于开发更高效、更有效的清洁产品，能够与传统的石油基品牌竞争，同时有助于减少洗衣/清洁活动造成的水污染影响，减少顾客因洗衣/清洁活动而出现的皮肤状况。持续接触传统清洁产品中的有害化学物质，并降低与洗衣应用中使用热水相关的能源成本。 Cleancult 的目标是打开新型绿色清洁技术的大门，首先在我们的产品中引入我们的全天然洗涤系统，并可能将该技术许可给其他绿色洗涤剂制造商，然后引入我们自己的全天然绿色表面活性剂分子，增加绿色清洁工的坚定意图？未来 5 年内至少 20% 的参与者参与该标记。该小型企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第一阶段项目将为开发由生物聚合物颗粒和天然衍生的可持续材料组成的胶束系统提供资金来源表面活性剂化合物。这些胶束系统的共轭和稳定机制是研究目标的主要焦点，同时包含不同的功能化以改善除油、避免再沉积并增强洗涤系统的抗菌性能。通过使用光谱、流变学和流体动力学技术、表面化学修饰以及应用去污力测定的全球标准，可以对胶束系统及其去除污垢/污垢的功效进行完整表征。研究团队将努力在 SBIR 第一阶段项目结束时提供商业化的产品，并且由于与制造工厂的合作已经到位，将避免推迟推出 Cleancults 的新绿色强力清洁剂系列。该奖项反映了通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
