Optical Dynamics
Liquid nano - polymer coating systems

Optical Dynamics Corporation (ODC) has been involved in nanotechnology research since 2000 and successfully launched a consumer product in 2005 utilizing nanoparticles incorporated into thin films less than 100 nm thick. The nanoCLEAR coatings are nanomaterial / polymer based liquid chemistries that are targeted at optical applications. A commercial version of this product is currently in use for ophthalmic optical elements. This technology was a winner of the 2006 Nanotech Briefs Nano50 award. These coatings can be tailored to increase transmission or reflectance from the UV to the IR spectrum.

Optical Dynamics proprietary chemistries provide a high degree of control over the refractive index and they have advantages in cost, ease of use, and curing speed and durability over conventional thin film coatings. Incorporating nanoparticles into the polymer matrix allows the refractive index and the mechanical properties to be engineered for specific applications including optical thin films, without affecting the clarity of the coating. By utilizing metal oxides with refractive indices ranging from 1.46 to 2.7 (with Mohs hardness of up to 9) unique coatings are available in a wide range of refractive indexes. Our engineers and scientists have extensive experience in thin film multi-layer coating development.

Optical Dynamics will develop a system to meet your unique requirements using proven nano based thin film coating materials. Our expertise also includes the deposition of thin films through spin coating technologies. We also have a highly flexible, pc based, coating system that can be used to develop and apply multi layer thin film coatings. These systems are for sale for use in research and small scale manufacturing applications

Optical Dynamics has a large body of knowledge and an IP portfolio including nearly 150 patents.

We are ready to help you with materials, process and hardware development in a rapid product development environment.
