Surfx polymer solutions are PEEK-ing interest!
Culver City, CA, August 22, 2005: Surfx polymer solutions are PEEK-ing interest! — The company announced today a major research and development effort on treating advanced polymers. Atmospheric plasma treatment of performance materials, such as Teflon, Ultam, Zytel, and PEEK, has already captured the interest of many customers. For demanding applications in medical devices, consumer electronics, and defense, Surfx tools are consistently providing end users with the most effective solution for adhesion, coating uniformity, and high-performance chemical enhancement of surfaces. Robert Hicks, CEO of Surfx, has this to say of the companyÕs latest R&D objective: ÒWe continue to see dramatic improvements in the speed and performance of our products. I am confident that atmospheric plasma tools will become the industry standard for polymer surface activation. Our renewed focus in this area should be a catalyst to help bring about this change.”
For immediate release: Surfx Technologies was awarded today a Phase II SBIR contract from the U.S. Air Force for the “Environmentally Friendly On-Aircraft Repair of Polyetheretherketone Thermoplastic Components”
Culver City, CA, May 13, 2005: For immediate release: Surfx Technologies was awarded today a Phase II SBIR contract from the U.S. Air Force for the “Environmentally Friendly On-Aircraft Repair of Polyetheretherketone Thermoplastic Components” — According to Robert Hicks, CEO, “We are excited to have the Air Force support development of a portable atmospheric plasma tool for the surface treatment of composite materials.” The Atomflo™ has been shown to be an effective tool for activating PEEK for bonding. After a short plasma treatment, the lap-shear strength of bonded composites exceeds the manufacturerÕs specifications for the adhesive (3M AF563), and failure is 100% cohesive, indicating that outstanding adhesion was achieved. The Phase II award will enable the development of a more powerful and versatile plasma tool for repairing composites on USAF fighter aircraft. Surfx Technologies has partnered with the University of Delaware Center for Composite Materials on this research and development effort. They will carry out comprehensive mechanical testing on the bonded composites to determine their strength and durability under extreme conditions encountered during aircraft service. The Delaware Center for Composite Materials will also serve as a Beta test site for validating this technology in other areas of composites manufacturing. Professor Jack Gillespie, the Center Director, said, “We are very excited about Surfx’s technology for plasma treating surfaces for adhesive bonding and repair of composites. The equipment is portable, the treatment process is rapid and safe and the performance is outstanding.”
