Blending clever chemistry with cutting-edge physics, Makevale designs bespoke polymer nanomaterials and delivers them on an industrial scale for volume commercial applications. In our nanomaterial’s collaborations with global manufacturers, the task is not just to design polymer nanocomposites that meet demanding technical requirements, but also to be able to manufacture these nanomaterials, to tight specifications, batch after batch.

Other developments include anti-microbial polymer nanocomposites for biological applications, photo-responsive nanomaterials for actuating mechanical processes, and phosphorescent polymer nanocomposites for signage and our new nail colour could be considered decorative.
Our nanotube-polymer composites have tensile strength, impact resistance and fatigue resistance orders of magnitude greater than standard polymer base. These nanomaterials are truly the next generation of specialist polymer nanocomposites.
