In the smart materials world, the formulation stage is critical<\/strong>. It is too often neglected because of a lack of knowledge of the physical processes involved in these intelligent materials: phase transition, thermodynamics, photophysics.<\/p>\n

Our Process department is responsible for all the formulation stages<\/strong> of your project. Our team consists of engineers and technicians who are experts in the field of color intelligence.<\/p>\n

Each member has solid scientific skills in chemistry, photochemistry, material science and masters all formulation techniques and processes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Formulation is, by definition, an industrial operation in chemistry that consists in producing a homogeneous and stable material, in the form of ink or paint, with the targeted properties and meeting the requirements of a functional specification.<\/p>\n

To succeed in this formulation stage, we consider each development as a new technological challenge: that of integrating the selected pigment filler into a matrix, of shaping it without altering the intelligent properties<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From experience, we know that the application of shear forces associated with the passage of a tricylinder and\/or ball mill can alter the crystallinity of the particles. That a simple additive, that a simple variation of the polarity of the medium and\/or the pH can affect the thermodynamic equilibrium at the origin of the phenomenon of color change, or even the photophysical mechanisms by modifying the respective positioning of the electronic states.<\/p>\n

This ultra-reactivity of smart materials to their environment requires us to verify at each step of the formulation, the maintenance of the smart property<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
