Bayer MaterialScience and Nano Terra, Inc. announce collaboration in surface engineering on films

22-May-2009 - Germany

Bayer MaterialScience announced an alliance with Nano Terra Inc.

Nano Terra will apply its surface engineering expertise to Bayer’s materials to create new surface functionalities. A global Bayer MaterialScience research team will collaborate closely with the Cambridge, MA based Nano Terra. The parties will cooperate on testing the final solutions and evaluating manufacturing options.

The new products address the needs of major industries such as automotive, electronics or displays. Nano Terra’s core technology in surface chemistry and engineering was pioneered by its Co-Founder, Professor George M. Whitesides of Harvard University.

Bernd Steinhilber, Senior Vice President and Head of Functional Films at Bayer MaterialScience, added: “We are committed to delivering improved films product solutions to our customers through the judicious application of new technologies such as Nano Terra’s. The growing demand for increased functionality in the materials we supply is matched well by the improvements we expect from this collaboration.”
