Project Examples

Robotics - Provided polymer and adhesive bond assessment for a new product. Created a roadmap that included recommendations on materials selection, process, joint design guidelines, biocompatibility testing, overarching strategy and methodologies for product development. Thereusable sterilized product advanced from a 1X use to multiple sterilization cycles. Subsequently the company was sold for >$2 Billion to a Fortune 100 company.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) - Conducted a polymer selection assessment and provided recommendations for next generation AED case to meet disinfection, impact resistance, processing, and cost requirements. The company was then able to move forward with a new generation of optimal product specifications.

Wearable Devices - Identified the requirements, selected adhesives , and test plan for a patch worn on the abdomen.
Lipid Cassettes – Proposed new adhesives to improve lipid profile cassette durability, processing, and yields. Company saved time and money by moving forward with a new standard of efficiency.
Motor Cycle Helmet - Before coming to Zeta Scientific the company was halted due to a failed product. We identified adhesives and a reattachment method for the first helmet with high visibility accessory for wireless brake detection technology.
Colonoscopy Device –Improved efficiency by providing multiple process recommendations in adhesives used throughput the medical device operation.

Dry Adhesive – Co-inventor of dry adhesive and surface system for a new type hook and loop application in a wide range of industries. US patent: 9,765,216 was issued on September 19, 2017. US Patent was issued.
Washable Adhesive - Provided adhesive development, process development and technical assistance for a new reusable adhesive. The product was successfully commercialized for the consumer market.
Dental Coating - Provided new chemistry options and additives to improve bonding and durability for a dental coating in the consumer industry. These improvements were necessary to utilize a "patent" and successful create a new product platform.

Ultrasonic-Assisted Extrusion for Food Snack Products - Reviewed patents, intellectual property, improvements, and feasibility for major food company. Identified technology approaches for new processes.
FDA Reprocessing / Reusable Medical Device – Recent projects have provided R and D teams with materials and adhesive options to redesign existing single-use designs to meet multiple use requirements.

Adhesive Additives– Identified opportunities for new additives which improved adhesive toughness and substrate adhesion in automotive and electronics applications.
