Direct Conversion Process™, UHT Silicon Carbon Fiber (Fi-Bar™) Materials
ACF technologies extend the performance utility of carbon fiber materials for use in "extreme environments". Our patented "Direct Conversion Process™ (DCP™), infuses a thin layer of silicon carbide on the surface of carbon fiber materials, effectively adding an "environmental shield" to enhance the base material's use in extreme environments.A Novel Advanced Manufacturing Pathway for Direct Incorporation of Metal-Organic Frameworks in Polymeric Sponges
This technology is about a new manufacturing method to enable novel polymer composites that incorporate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), for potential use as fire retardant materials as well as air and water filters for the treatment of harmful chemicals.Laser manufacturing of graphene-nanoparticle composite
Our innovative laser-based method utilizes advanced materials of graphene and nanoparticles to craft a unique nanohybrid sensor. Adaptability to movements makes it ideal for wearable tech and next-gen sensors. Our approach streamlines sensor production, providing a fast and scalable method for creating flexible hydrogen detectors, addressing challenges in current methods.Nano-additive based sizing solution for recycled carbon fiber
Development of a sizing solution formulated based on graphene and other modifiers to increase the molecular interaction between recycled carbon fiber and polymer matrix.The invention provides efficient PFAS filtration from drinking water using modified clay sorbents, which perform better than granular activated carbon
PFAS are dangerous, widely used chemicals. Their persistence in the environment has led to their detection in drinking water,. Current methods to remove PFAS from water, such as using granular activated carbon, have shown limitations. These approaches often fail to eliminate PFAS, especially leaving residues in the treated water.
