Consulting in Materials Science
The performance of any product is ultimately limited by the performance of its building blocks, which are manufactured materials. Materials science engineers the structure and composition of metal, polymer, ceramic, semiconductor, and composite materials to deliver tailored mechanical, electrical, thermal, and chemical performance.
However, developing advanced materials to enable new products is often hindered by manufacturability constraints, sustainability requirements, and high production costs, which delay the time-to-market. Addressing these issues requires a disciplined approach that links product requirements and material properties with manufacturing realities and market constraints
Clever materials engineering can unlock new product capabilities by enhancing material performance while simplifying manufacturing and reducing production costs. At METHEION, we provide Materials Science consulting to select, design, and develop appropriate material systems, optimise processing routes, and validate outcomes through targeted testing. We are happy to help you close the gap between desired material properties, manufacturability, and product performance by accelerating development and improving manufacturing processes.
Consulting in Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is a branch of Materials Science that engineers materials and structures at the atomic and molecular scale to achieve novel and unique properties. Using Nanotechnology, the matter is shaped into nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, thin films, or 2D layers with dimensions below 100 nanometres to unlock new optical, thermal, electrical, catalytic, magnetic, and mechanical properties that are simply unattainable for bulk materials.
These unique properties originate in the materials' nanostructure and nanomorphology, which require tightly controlled design and synthesis at the nanoscale. However, translating nanoscale design into reliable products is commonly hindered by issues with synthesis methods that do not scale, batch variability, uncontrolled surface chemistry, contamination, integration issues with existing manufacturing processes, limited characterization methods, safety constraints, high manufacturing costs, and supply-chain barriers. Each of those issues poses technical and time-to-market risks.
At METHEION, we are ready to provide Nanotechnology consulting that reliably translates performance requirements into nanoscale solutions by selecting or designing nanomaterials carefully tailored for surface chemistry, morphology, and interfaces. We will gladly aid you with development, synthesis optimization, scale-up, testing, performance validation, and product integration of high-performance nanomaterials.
