About Fibron Technologies
|
The electroactive polymer market is an approximately $1.5Bn industry with the Inherently Conducting Polymer (ICP) market being the fastest growing segment. However, the rate limiting growth of ICPs has traditionally been the technological challenge of cost, processability and complexity of manufacture, as well as solvent usage and toxicity. |
|
Fibron’s technology platform utilizes patented synthetic methods, including techniques invented at UCLA and Aerospace Corporation, as the basis for the rapid and inexpensive production of nanofiber forms of ICPs. In addition to cost-effective production, our aqueous phase methods do not rely on large quantities of expensive (and toxic) dopants and organic solvents resulting in a much more environmentally friendly product with a greater diversity of applications. |

Our expertise in developing new nanoarchitectures of ICPs enables us to optimize the structure and the chemistry for specific applications. Below are illustrations of some of the materials that result from our proprietary synthesis methods. The left set of images illustrate nanofibers synthesized to have different diameters. We are able to utilize different functional groups to control solvent compatibility, and for some of our polymers we are able to produce different packing arrangements, such as aligned bundles of nanowires (rightmost image).
