A few things we’re great at
Find the answers you are looking for . . .
POLYMER SYNTHESIS AND FORMULATION
The fundamental properties such as molecular weight are set during polymerization, performance can be significantly enhanced by carefully formulating the system with additives to fit your particular application
SURFACE CHEMISTRY
The chemical identity and resulting intermolecular forces of groups at the interface is critical to controlling all downstream interactions
COLLOIDAL PARTICLE BEHAVIOR
When particulate scale becomes microscopic toward atomic, physical interactions dramatically change. Electrostatics and polarity must be fully understood to regain control
WETTING AND ADHESION
Surface energy determines the three-phase contact angle. Carefully matching liquid properties or altering the surface energy of the solid substrate are critical to attaining proper wetting and strong adhesion
ENCAPSULATION
Complex core-shell particle morphologies combine the particle composition that you want with the surface chemistry you need to get the job done. From protective coatings to responsive expandable layers, we can make it happen
MATERIALS SCIENCE
In addition to polymer chemistry and physics, we also have experience with metals, glass, and ceramics. If it involves materials science, we can get your project moving in the right direction
CASE STUDY
The Secret of Success
Why Are We The Best in Polymer Science? . . . EXPERIENCE
MONOMER SELECTION
Designing the right polymer system obviously begins with choosing the right monomers, the thermal, physical, and environmental properties depend on it!
POLYMER SYNTHESIS
Control of the thermodynamics, shear rates, and reactor atmosphere composition during polymerization is critical to producing a reproducible product.
CHARACTERIZATION
Chemical identity and molecular weight, we have years of experience with data acquisition and interpretation for techniques such as infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and many more to get your questions answered!
FORMULATION
Sometimes the additive package can make or break a product. At times multiple additives can interact with each other in unpredictable and undesirable ways. We can help solve your puzzle!

Portfolio
From microstructure to macroscopic behavior, we have you covered!
Here are a few examples from projects, past and present . . .
Encapsulated Sand
Water expandable crosslinked polymer gel layer. Sand grains are pushed apart after hydration. Video is in real-time!
Colloids and Emulsions
Emulsions, suspensions, and polymer solutions often have non-Newtonian viscosity
Particle Patterning
Invented a patented method for patterning surfaces with highly ordered particles
