APE- a self-healing adhesive that bonds underwater and prevents corrosion
A new adhesive that can self-heal and regenerate its properties over time. First designed for the marine industry, it thrives in cold and underwater conditions. Prevents corrosion and has an almost universal bonding scope to stick any combination of materials together. Easily applied and bonds reversibly (can stick and re-stick).Winston-Salem, NC
Novel Hydrated Amorphous Silica Materials for Commercial and Military Applications
Silica based fiber material with industry leading thermal insulation capability. There are many other applications including composite materials, flame protection, textiles and energy.Ductile Refractory Alloys with High Strength
We have demonstrated a combination of high strength and low-temperature ductility in single-phase Niobium-Tantalum-Vanadium-Titanium-(Hafnium) refractory multi-principal-element alloys that exceeds those of all previous reports, with tensile yield strengths of ~1GPa, room-temperature ductility > 25%, and a melting (homologous) temperature nearly 65% higher than commercial superalloys.AquaSIpWater: Portable Water Purification with Nanotech for Crisis Relief
Emerging pollutants in water pose serious risks during emergencies. Our innovative nanotechnology-based water purification system provides efficient, rapid removal of contaminants, ensuring safe drinking water for defense personnel, first responders, and affected communities. This portable, easy-to-use solution ensures quick access to clean water in disaster zones, even under challenging conditions.Nanomaterial Enhanced Media for Direct Lithium Extraction
Claros Technologies proposes to use patented technology, Crescoating, to incorporate inorganic nanoparticles into existing ion exchange resin for the purposes of creating a selective adsorption material for lithium ions in mining/manufacturing brines. Our aim is to leverage inorganic sorption chemistry into a deployable sorbent system.Harnessing Thermo-Mechanochemistry for Lignin-Based Carbon Fiber Production
Using novel thermo-mechanical approach, melt-spun lignin is directly transformed into high-performance carbon fibers with tensile strength exceeding 2GPa and modulus over 200GPa without chemical modifications or additives. This process enables carbonization at an exceptionally low temperature of 700°C, significantly reducing production costs and energy consumption while maintaining superior material properties.Enzyme-Mimicking Synthetic Catalysts for Efficient and Robust Carbohydrate Hydrolysis
Synthetic catalysts mimic enzymes to break down carbohydrates like cellulose with high precision. Unlike natural enzymes, they remain stable in harsh conditions such as high heat, extreme pH, and organic solvents. This makes them ideal for roles where traditional enzymes can fail in various industries like biofuels or food processing.Timber-Dowel Reciprocal Lattice System
The Timber Dowel Reciprocal Lattice System is a structural approach that eliminates the need for traditional joints, adhesives, or fasteners. Instead, it utilizes positioned timber dowels that interlock through reciprocal displacement. Dowels are placed at specific angles within pre-designed placeholders and generate counterbalancing forces that naturally stabilize the structure.Accelerated biodegradation of polylactide with salicylate additives
A novel blend of polylactide and salicylate-containing additives that enhances PLA degradability without sacrificing material properties and performance.Backbone rearrangement of polyesters and polyurethanes
A novel method to modify the backbone of polyesters and polyurethanes to change material properties and allow for degradation.2025 SPONSORS & PARTNERS
