Arkema acquires the PIEZOTECH startup company and speeds up its development in the fluorinated materials of the future
Arkema has announced the acquisition of French company PIEZOTECH which designs and manufactures electroactive fluorinated polymers, thereby enhancing its portfolio with a new range of ultra high performance materials. These specialty polymers will soon have high added value applications in many sectors, including robotics, aerospace, textile, automotive and electronics.
PIEZOTECH was established following a technology transfer from Institut de Recherche Saint-Louis . It designs and markets films and sensors from electroactive fluorinated polymers and copolymers, all manufactured using a unique process. These polymers have the ability to undergo deformation under an electric current, and conversely they convert a mechanical force into electrical energy. Another of their characteristics is their ability to store and restore energy.
