Underwater adhesives
Non-toxic adhesives working underwater including physiological environments
Low Alloy, High Impact Toughness Steel
A tungsten free, low alloy steel with the strength, ductility and impact toughness at sub-zero temperatures equivalent to steels that cost several times more.
Development of a new technology of metal 3D printing
New process of metal 3D printing using metallic powder combined with organic binders, which are then removed to manufacture a dense metallic part using debinding and sintering posttreatments.
Heat Integrated Reactive Distillation Process for Synthesis of Bio-Based Chemicals and Conversion of CO2 to Alkyl Carbonate
The E3Tec Team has developed heat integrated reactive distillation (HIRD) process equipped with side reactors. The process is applied to esterification of selected esters of organic acids to replace petroleum-based plasticizers and conversion of captured CO2 to value-added chemical products.
Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis using Spontaneously Activatable Catalysts
A catalytic process for production of synthetic liquid fuels and/or high value-added chemicals from coal, natural/shale gas, or biomass via syngas (H2 + CO) using unique iron-based catalysts with no necessity for an extra pre-activation treatment
Graphene technologies
A complete portfolio of Berkeley Lab’s available technologies that incorporate graphene. Graphene is a “super material†– 200 time stronger than steel, an efficient conductor of heat and electricity, and nearly transparent –and serves as the foundation for breakthrough technologies in fields ranging from Transmission Electron Microscopy to Hydrogen Storage.

Pristine Low-Cost Large-Area Graphene Sheets
Graphene is an advanced material with excellent properties related to conductivity, toughness, flexibility and transparency; but several factors hinder graphene’s market entry including material cost, purity and process scalability. Large-Area Graphene films grown from electrically activated coal bypasses market entry issues and enhances national security by local resource usage
xPAO Functional Polyolefins
Precision Polyolefins (PPL) utilizes proprietary catalyst technology to produce xPAOs – a revolutionary new class of reactive polymer that will be used by PPL and its customers to create a new landscape of performance enhancing additives for advanced materials, including superior coatings, lubricants, and phase change materials for thermal regulation.
Novel recycling process for new polymeric material
A novel recycling technology able to produce a new plastic material with excellent mechanical properties matching pure polypropylene. This material is made from the fraction of polymers usually discarded in recycling plants encapsulated into a blend of recycled polyethylene and polypropylene.
