Research & Development


Let us assist you in your search for the polymer for your specific technical need. Through direct consultation, we will help you define the polymer system that will suit your required performance parameters. Our experienced polymer chemists and materials scientists have a thorough understanding and hands-on familiarity with the synthesis and characterization of all organic polymer families. Some of our capabilities are summarized below.

Custom Chemical Synthesis:


  • Custom design of polymeric materials for unique applications.
  • Synthesis of monomers, polymers, and organic small molecules.

Chemical Modification of Polymers:


  • Conversion of pendant functional moieties along polymer backbone.
  • Polymer endgroup / monomer functional site derivitization.

Chemical Surface Functionalization of Organic and Inorganic Materials:


  • Nanoparticle/microparticle surface functionalization.
  • Chemical modification of molding and casting surfaces.

Patent Synthesis:


  • Synthesis of abandoned patent chemistries to determine material suitability for new applications.
  • Comparison of synthetic products produced via related patents for infringement concerns.
  • Synthesis using patent procedures for litigation support.
We have dedicated chemical synthesis labs with all of the equipment that is required for organic chemical syntheses, from 100mg to kilograms. The R&D Group, coupled with direct collaborative activities with the Chromatography, Chemical, Microscopy, Thermal and Physical Analysis Groups at PSI, provide a solution to your materials development challenges, all under one roof.
