Desired outcome
A leading global consumer product manufacturer is seeking materials/technologies for obtaining low-friction and durable silicone-based coatings on metallic parts. The desired solution should offer a scalable process for depositing the material. The resulting coating must exhibit excellent adhesion to the substrate, be ultrathin (preferably below 100nm), durable for repeated, long-term use in wet environments, and avoid the use of fluorochemistry or corrosive materials.
Details of the Innovation Need
Exploring initial findings, it's evident that PDMS coatings exhibit the required low-friction properties but lack the desired durability.
In pursuit of our business objectives, we aim to establish a scalable process for applying a selected silicone-based material on metallic substrates. The coating should boast excellent adhesion and prove durable for sustained use in wet conditions.
Essential characteristics include
- Durability for repeated, long-term use in wet environments
- Low-friction surface
- Desired thickness below 300nm
- Skin safe
- PFAS free
On the technical front
We seek materials within the silicone family with low-friction properties and solid adhesion to metall substrates. Additionally, the integration of adhesion promoters to enhance PDMS adhesion can be considered as a possible direction.
We invite solutions globally from diverse entities, including start-ups, universities, research centers, scientists, and spin-offs. Open to various collaboration models, such as R&D contracts, Technology Licensing, Joint Development, Supply Agreements, and Patent Sales, negotiations are welcomed.
Aiming for TRL above 3 with preferable evidence of successful implementation of proposed technology/materials.
The solution must also comply with EU and US human and environmental safety regulations.
Our preferred collaboration frameworkinvolves extending a collaboration business contract for prototype development to promising proposals. Successful results could lead to an ongoing partnership focused on technology transfer and scaling up.
