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，这些纳米颗粒在正确加工时会显示出结构颜色。大多数有色材料依赖于选择性地吸收特定颜色的颜料，这些颜色经常是有毒的，随着时间的推移会褪色。对于大多数市场来说，创造可以根据需要改变的颜色目前是不切实际的。我们创造的材料完全基于透明组件的纳米级间距来产生颜色，如果拉伸或膨胀，就会主动改变颜色。因此，前景是一家以材料为基础的公司，向各种市场销售合适的定制彩色薄膜。因此，我们的目标是制定和开发一家基于弹性聚合物蛋白石的衍生公司的商业案例，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.
