Research and Innovations
Helping You Reach Your Full Potential!
As an innovation consultancy company that has the pulse of the new economy for industrial products: global and connected. We come from engineering and innovation program backgrounds, and have one foot firmly planted in the future. We help prepare you to overcome the disruptions that rapidly changing technologies and evolving society bring to you and your business. We bring futures insight.
We are helping de-risk development for our clients by creating proof-of-concept prototypes for aspects of the envisioned future solution (R&D). Training you and your staff on how to think about and execute these innovation processes yourself.
Innovation Project Portfolio
- Polymer Processing
Improving the process through machine learning, optimizing the process parameters to improve quality or for new products.
- Recycling and Sustainability
Innovative proprietary technology for recycling thermoplastics and thermoset polymers.
- Wastewater Managment
Introducing new technologies to reduce contamination in water resources in various industries.
- Anti-mold Coatings
Developed a well tailored anti-mold and antimicrobial coatings and paints to end-user requirements.
- Bioplastics and Biodegrability
The case of bioplastics illustrates how business models can link producers and customers through the development of new technologies and products. Chemical companies have assumed that reducing costs, increasing yields, and developing better feedstock supplies will guarantee the success of bioplastics in the market, yet a number of unconventional hurdles exist. Companies need to build markets for bioplastics and to assure customers that bioplastics are indeed sustainably made. We contend that companies are most able to develop business models that bring bioplastics to market effectively when they develop and mobilize their “dynamic capabilities” around sustainability.
- Modeling and Simulation
Using atomic simulation, coarse grained simulation, computational fluid dynamics, and machine learning to understand material properties and predictive understanding for compatability, thermo-mechanical properties, polymer processing, and formulation of compounds.
Research Roadmap
Unlocking new potentials and innovations starts at the heart of good research. With a more scientific and modern approach with respect to the past generations, an ideal material has to fulfill the new challenges and demandings needs. These rules help for innovations and novelty in designing new products.
