Custom synthesis ranging
from grams to gallons
We have access to facilities that allow us to do proof-of-concept and development with as
little as a few grams of material all the way up to a 500 gallon pilot plant
Compounding and
formulation science
We have several extruders at our disposal including small scale benchtop laboratory
extruders such as Daca and Haake mini twin screw systems. We also have a process 11
for intermediate scale and access to several floor standing extrusion systems
Thermomechanical property
evaluation
With a wide variety of techniques including rheology, DMA, instron, and charpy
available we can test the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of a material.
Combined with top-quality analytical capacity we can provide exceptional insight into
structure-property relationships.
Small scale polymer processing
With access to laboratory injection molders, film lines, and filamenting systems, to
name a few, we can create prototypes to put into the hand of potential clients using your materials
Microscopic analysis including electron
microscopy and x-ray techniques
Available services include access to an excellent microscopy facility, capable of advanced
microscopic analysis of materials. High-quality light, fluorescence, and
electron microscopy are all available.
Access to a robust
professional network
The owners have developed an extensive network of individuals that can help solve
challenges that you might encounter. While we can’t do everything, we hope that for most
polymer related challenges we can put you into contact with the right people to
further your goals.
Business strategy development
With our experience in the polymers world, especially in relation to frontier materials, we
can help strategize business decisions that fit the material and the market.
Professional writing services
All three owners have experience writing grants and can assist start-ups and other entities
with writing of targeted, well-received proposals for polymer-derived SBIR’s or other programs.
