iFyber develops, licenses and sells nanoparticle coating technology used to functionalize natural and synthetic textiles for high-end technical applications
Background: The world is changing rapidly and there is a tremendous need for scientific solutions to address the myriad of challenges ahead. Two primary challenging areas are national security and health. Both are complex arenas where historically science and novel materials have played an important role. For example, the development of lightweight bulletproof vests and helmets has helped ensure the safety of our armed forces and novel materials for medical implants such as shape memory alloys in stents have improved quality of life for many patients. The materials revolution of the recent past has created improved functional fabrics to meet increasing customer needs for a variety of uses and customers expect these improvements to continue. iFyber seeks to fill the need for advanced functional textile materials for a variety of applications.
The Technology: The key to iFybers' patent pending technology is the ability to deposit uniform, conformal nanocoatings on natural and synthetic fibers. The iFyber process imparts custom properties to treated fibers including water and oil resistance, antimicrobial behavior as well as electrical conductivity.
