Leeds spin-out Ionix Advanced Technologies secures investment from IP Group for unspecified sum.
Ionix Advanced Technologies, a Leeds University spin-out commercialising a range of sensors, has received backing from commercialisation firm IP Group for an unspecified sum.
The money will be used to further develop Ionix’s range of sensors, which are based on high-temperature piezolelectic materials. Piezoelectricity is a form of electricity which is generated from pressure, which can be used in a sensor to measure changes in pressure, acceleration, strain, or force.
Ionix is targeting a market where regular piezoelectric sensors cannot…
