Research and Development
Advanced Thermoplastics

To capture the vast potential of polyketones, it is critical that basic polymer research is undertaken, from fundamental activities to the development of novel formulations and the support of specific applied materials technologies.

Over the past four years, OPM has undertaken initiatives in the aforementioned areas and, as a result, has developed significant intellectual properties. In particular, we endeavor to develop advanced materials that meet the highly demanding requirements of leading-edge technology-based enterprises. Specific areas of polymer engineering expertise are the manipulation of key mechanical, thermal, electrical, and rheological properties of our OXPEKK® materials.

Government-funded Thermoplastic Polymer Research
OPM actively pursues various forms of government funding in order to advance its applied materials technology. Research programs undertaken have been both high-risk long-term projects and near-term applied technologies programs. Our team has experience with ATP, SBIR, STTR, and YI programs.

Joint Development Programs in Polymer Technology
Areas of interest for applied materials technology research in thermoplastics include but are not limited to:

  • Military/aerospace components
  • Semiconductor process
  • Chemical process industries
  • Corrosion abatement
  • Fuel cell materials (PEM)
  • High performance coatings
  • Chemical and heat resistant materials
  • Biomaterials implant/device
  • Materials for sub sea/sub salt
  • Insulating polymers

OPM is a leader in the research and development of specialty high performance thermoplastic materials.
