Ioannis Arabatzis (Athens, 13 August 1977) is a Greek chemist[1][2] and businessman known as the founder and managing director of the Greek nanotech company, NanoPhos SA.[3][4][5][6][7]
Studies and career
Arabatzis obtained his BSc in chemistry from the University of Ioannina and a PhD in chemical engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, later earning an MBA from ALBA Graduate Business School.[8]
In 2005, he won the first prize at the European Business Plan Competition in Stockholm,[9] after which, he founded the nanotechn company NanoPhos SA in Lavrio, a town outside of Athens. At the 7th GREEN4SEA Athens Forum (2018),[10] Arabatzis presented on the “Hull Coatings Technologies,” detailing NanoPhos's research efforts in nanotechnology driven marine coatings for antifouling, insulation and friction reduction.[11]
In the years 2013-2015, his group collaborated on the development of hydrophobic resin systems for wood-based panels, demonstrating the utility of nanotechnology in improving the material surface properties.[12][13] In November 2017, his group developed the product, NanoPhos Marine, which was recognized for its “smart” nanocoating solutions, receiving the Technical Achievement Award at the Lloyd's List Greek Shipping Awards.[14]
Leading the R&D of the company,[15] he contributed to a study published in journal, Frontiers in Materials to preserve cultural-heritage constructions.[16][17] Additionally, he has developed two patents in this nanotechnology field,[18] and has published more than 30 research papers in international journal, having more than 1,100 citations at Google Scholar.[19][20][21]
In addition, his contributions have been cited in the book titled "Nanoscience and Nanomaterials for the Knowledge and Conservation of Cultural Heritage"[22] by Tortora et al., and also in edition entitled "Transdisciplinary Multispectral Modeling and Cooperation for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage" by Moropoulou et al. (2018).[23]
