Peak Nano Unveils NanoPlex™ Films as a Service

In a significant advancement for the field of polymer metamaterials, Peak Nano has introduced its NanoPlex™ Films as a Service (FaaS). This game-changing development aims to reduce traditional film development cycles from years to just weeks. Leveraging over 60 years of experience in nanolayer systems, Peak Nano's innovation is set to revolutionize not just the film industry but a variety of sectors including healthcare, food packaging, aerospace, and more.

What is NanoPlex™?

The newly launched service encompasses bespoke designs, prototyping, and low-rate manufacturing. This platform is engineered to allow speedy customization of high-performance films tailored for specific applications, such as medical uses and electronics. With the promise of drastically reduced development timelines and lower costs, the NanoPlex technology with its ability to stack ultra-thin polymer layers stands out.

Jim Welsh, CEO of Peak Nano, emphasizes the revolutionary aspect of this service: “For decades, enhancing film performance was contingent upon waiting for polymer manufacturers to create new resins, a process that can take over a decade and involve billions in costs. NanoPlex allows us to bypass that entirely, providing rapid development and breakthrough performance capabilities at a fraction of the traditional costs.”

Transforming Traditional Film Properties

Traditional polymer films often struggle with performance constraints imposed by singular resins or simple blends. However, with NanoPlex, highly controlled stacking of numerous thin layers of polymers can yield exceptional results. This nuanced layering leads to unforeseeable performance enhancements, allowing the films to exhibit unique barrier, optical, and mechanical properties.

Dr. Michael Ponting, the Chief Scientific Officer at Peak Nano, highlights this capability: “NanoPlex allows nearly unparalleled control over vital aspects such as light transmission, gas barriers, and thermal properties. By engaging standard polymers in these intricate multilayer configurations, we unlock enhanced performance dynamics that were previously unreachable.”

A Comprehensive Innovation Model

FaaS aims to provide an end-to-end service experience, starting from conception to the final commercial transfer of technology including:

• - Requirements Analysis: Custom research tailored for each application.
• - Prototyping: Rapid production of working sample prototypes.
• - Testing and Validation: Comprehensive evaluation through rigorous tests.
• - Technical Packaging: Detailed documentation for transitions into production.
• - Manufacturing Support: Assistance with scaling production up, ensuring a smooth transition.
