RENSSELAER, NY -- 08/12/08 --
Applied NanoWorks, an inorganic materials
development company, announces the availability of MCP Technology(TM) for
research and development, joint development agreements and material
manufacturing applications. The MCP Technology(TM) patent-pending process
creates new inorganic molecules for custom applications in organic material
systems. The flexibility and organic compatibility of the designed
molecules are enabled through ligand attachment sites and nano-particle
growth capabilities.
The MCP
Technology(TM) process is being applied to creating new catalysts, thin
films and functional polymers where mechanical, electrical and optical
properties are important. Applications currently in development through
the Molecular Control Platform (MCP) are:
-- Oxydesulfurization catalyst for oil and oil distillates
-- Water-soluble tin oxide thin film precursor for photovoltaic
application
-- Non-halogenated flame retardants for plastics and coatings
-- Water soluble, green catalysts with tailored reactivity and
selectivity
-- Tailored single and multi-metal catalysts
-- Advanced bonding agent for several different materials applications
-- Adhesion promoter for improvement of adhesion strength in composites
"Our MCP Technology platform has the capability to deliver thousands of
completely new inorganic molecules from one cost-effective manufacturing
process," said Dr. Kyle Litz, ANW's Chief Technology Officer. "With it we
have the tool to solve many material system application problems that
before were extremely cumbersome or unattainable." The technology has the
potential to work with 57 different inorganic elements to create thousands
of new molecules, designed to deliver specific functionalities to organic
material systems.
MCP Technology(TM) creates new inorganic molecules with the flexibility to
adjust solubility parameters, reactivity rates, and provide seamless
compatibility with any organic material. With this flexibility new
mechanical, electrical and optical properties of inorganic elements can be
made fully compatible to the organic materials markets.
"Our advanced Molecular Control Platform provides material manufacturers
with new degrees of chemical freedom," said Eric Burnett, CEO of Applied
NanoWorks, "degrees of freedom that shorten new material system development
cycles and will enable disruptive new product applications."
