Composite Nanocoatings

The startup developed ultra low friction surfaces that are cost-effective and durable. They tested these surfaces with Rolls Royce and faced challenges in achieving durability for high-speed conditions. The surfaces have potential applications in marine and medical industries. In the medical field, they could reduce friction in catheters, offering a cheaper alternative to Teflon. This discovery revealed a $900 million market opportunity. The team developed a prototype with comparable performance to Teflon at a lower cost, ready to present to customers.
