medical devices

Polymers as a material class is rapidly growing in the field of medical devices as a viable and versatile alternative to conventional implantable metals owing to a number of distinct advantages:

• Lightweight

• High-specific strength

• Customized mechanical and material properties

• Growing clinical evidence of efficacy

• Increased awareness of metal allergies

Polymers also provide viable platforms for drug devices and single use applications.  

We can provide cost-effective and innovative solutions while also connecting you with manufacturers and processors.

chemistry and technology

Ideas — tangible or not, are the most important things to protect in today’s competitive creative market.

With so many new chemical and manufacturing processes, realizing your invention needs the laser-focused eye of a trained chemical technologist.

We handle the literature search, creation, and application of chemistry and processes that target your products. If your product development needs benchtop synthesis and concept feasibility realization, we have the know-how and infrastructure to generate these material systems.

engineering materials

The versatility of polymers as high-performance engineering materials is well-established in a number of areas such as aerospace and electronics due to their ability to:

• Retain mechanical properties at temperatures in excess of 700F

• Perform well in aggressive chemical environments

• Retain ductility at sub-ambient temperatures

With the help of our expertise and extensive network, you can also have access to these materials and select the optimum solution for your application.

Our engagement can assist in your technical review, custom modification and problem-solving.

Litigation

In today's business environment, your intellectual property is always vulnerable to litigious attacks. At the end of the day, your technology and its worth is profoundly personal.

In such matters, mediation or arbitration almost always yields the most fulfilling results. However, should the occasion arise, we are more than prepared to review the merits of your IP estate and provide our technical assessment and subject-matter expertise to prepare your defense.

adhesives and sealants

Adhesives and sealants are interfacial materials that provide barrier properties and/or mechanical durability at the junction of two separate materials or components.

Traditionally based on natural products, current applications resort to a wide variety of synthetic, reactive and non-reactive polymer melts, solutions and monomeric systems.

We are here to help you design and optimize formulations for UV- and other radiation curing applications that yield desired and target end-properties for your products. 

technical reviews & education

Every new product development project always benefits from technical reviews that often receive a robust validation with external, impartial perspectives.

We’ve helped engineers, inventors, startups, and entrepreneurs develop, and perform risk-mitigation for their projects.

Given our extensive background and experience, we are available to provide short course training on polymer fundamentals that can be customized for your specific industry.
