We offer a variety of opportunities to develop and commercialize novel nanomaterials and polymers through joint projects with industrial partners. We provide innovative solutions in the field of textiles, hygiene, household goods, automotive, aerospace and energy.

  • We develop and produce newly designed monomers and nanomaterials in addition to polymer synthesis. 

  • Based on the application area, zero-dimensional (SiO2, TiO2, etc.), one-dimensional (electrospun nanofibers, MWCNT), two-dimensional (nanoclays, nanoplates and graphene) and three-dimensional (foam and networks) nanomaterials are synthesized by applying wet chemistry techniques, catalytic growth and core-shell electrospinning technology. 

  • Surface functionalization is performed to get better interfacial interactions between nanomaterials and the chosen matrix. 

  • Sol-gel and electrospraying techniques are applied to provide multi-functionality to different surfaces such as fabrics, metals and ceramics. 

  • Nanomaterials (graphene, CNTs and HNTs), as well as ceramic materials can be synthesized and later be incorporated into composite resins or thermoplastics.

  • Formulated resin mixtures can be mixed via a planetary vacuum mixer, which enables high viscous formulations to be mixed homogeneously and bubble-free through its vacuum system, which can reach 0.002 bar within a minute. 

  • Formulated resin mixtures and resins of composites can be poured into molds and cured at the ovens at desired conditions. The cured plates can be later cut into the desired shape (or be already cured in certain shapes) for further tests and characterization.

  • Multi-axial electrospinning unit provides production of multi-axial fibers having up to tri-axis by using a variety of polymer solutions at the same time.

  • High temperature ovens provide ceramic production and burn-off ignition tests,.

We perform the following tests for polymer composites and plastics according to national and international standards:

OUTPUTS

Wet Chemistry targets novel material synthesis, production and characterization by using different techniques. The synthesized chemicals, polymers and mixtures can be used as functional additives, agents, fillers or tailor-made products regarding chemistry related industries.

TARGET SECTORS

We can mainly serve to plastics, composites, textiles, hygiene, aerospace, household goods companies and OEMs.
