The research team has developed a biocompatible, non-toxic and eco-friendly antibacterial and antiviral coating, which has been commercialised under the brand name CareCoatex^TM. It provides both contact killing and time-release killing for up to six months. With proven effectiveness for rapidly killing 99% of common bacteria and viruses, the coating is ideal for disinfection, contamination control and epidemic prevention. CareCoatex can be sprayed at room temperature and in normal conditions, making it easy to apply to various surfaces.

The Liverscan is a palm-sized portable tool for conveniently detecting and staging liver fibrosis, especially in the early stages of the disease, through taking non-invasive measurements of liver stiffness. It features a PolyU-patented technique which uses a real-time image guided process of transient elastography to enhance the accuracy of measurements. The system provides a safer, more effective and comprehensive diagnostic solution.

The Smart City platform incorporates a series of the latest patented technologies in 3D city modelling, AI-based urban object cognition, as well as spatial big data analytics and visualisation. The platform can be used to acquire and process massive urban spatial information, 3D LiDAR data, and multi-scale image data, to create high-precision smart city data infrastructure. By providing a range of urban sensing, urban computing, and urban analytics functions, the platform can be used to support a wide range of smart city applications, such as smart governmental policy-making, smart environmental management, smart transport optimisation, and smart citizen services.

The system employs smart sensing technology to measure tree tilt and displacement. With AI algorithms and Spatial Big Data Analytics, it can evaluate the leaning trend of trees and potential risk factors correlated to tree failure. The system enables large-scale monitoring of tree stability, allowing timely and appropriate mitigation action to be taken. (Read more)

The research team has developed a smart all-electric Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The system takes into account road conditions and calculates the maximum tire-road adhesion coefficient needed in order to control the angular wheel acceleration and generate an accurate braking torque through its electric control unit. Compared with conventional hydraulic ABS, this system provides more reliable, responsive and accurate braking torque control, effectively shortening both braking time and distance.

Under ultraviolet illumination at 36°C, this novel photocrosslinkable nanocomposite can be expeditiously fabricated into bone graft materials that resemble the natural bone structure. The material promotes bone regeneration and activates cell signaling pathways to facilitate osteogenesis and angiogenesis, both part of the healing process, simultaneously. It also provides optimal mechanical support to the injured area, accelerating recovery from bone injuries and fractures.
