Elastomeric Opals: Follow on Fund

在过去的5年里，我们的团队一直在开发含有聚合物纳米颗粒的塑料薄膜，当正确加工时，这些薄膜会显示出结构色。大多数有色材料依赖于选择性吸收特定颜色的颜料，这些颜料通常有毒并随时间褪色。创造可以根据需求改变的颜色目前对大多数市场来说是不切实际的。我们创造的材料完全基于透明成分的纳米级间距产生颜色，如果拉伸或膨胀，就会主动改变颜色。因此，我们的前景是一家以材料为基础的公司，向各种市场销售量身定制的彩色薄膜。因此，我们的目标是为一家以弹性聚合物蛋白石为基础的分拆公司制定和开发商业案例，该公司使用我们新颖的可制造纳米技术。

For the past 5 years our team has been developing plastic films incorporating polymer nanoparticles that when correctly processed show structural colour. Most coloured materials depend on pigments that selectively absorb particular colours, and these are frequently toxic and fade over time. Creating colours that can change on demand is currently impractical for most markets. The materials that we create produce colours based exclusively on the nanoscale spacing of transparent components, and actively change colour if stretched or swelled. The prospect is thus for a materials-based company selling suitably-tailored coloured films into a variety of markets.Our aim is thus to formulate and develop the business case for a spin-out company based on elastomeric polymer opals which use our novel manufacturable nanotechnology.
