Polymer Technology

The Polymer Technology Team at Microsharp is involved in the development of polymer films for light management in flat panel display and security applications. Technologies in which there is significant expertise include self-assembling polymer systems, diffusers, depixelators and the development of speciality lacquers for optical films.

Core competences of the group:

  • Design of experiments to maximise statistical significance of results
  • Polymer chemistry
  • Polymer blending/coating
  • Formulating bespoke lacquers for display applications
  • Design of water, solvent and emulsion based lacquers/coatings
  • Synthesis of novel pre-polymers
  • Coating methodologies
  • UV Curing
  • Processing of films
  • Analysis/evaluation of lacquers and films using optical/analytical equipment
  • Surface characterisation of films
  • Environmental testing of lacquers and films

The Polymer Technology Team works with clients to specify their requirements and develop manufacturable solutions with the required optical properties.
