To date, the major technological barrier to the production of nanocomposites has been the difficulty of exfoliating and dispersing nanoparticles evenly, particularly in plastics and rubber. We believe that we have a solution that transcends the science of nanotechnology and solves this problem.

nanoScience Engineering Corp.'s SuperCritical Fluid Process (SCFP) technology, is a novel, patented and versatile method of exfoliating and coating nanoparticles. This delivers superior performance enhanced plastics and rubber with an average of 40%-50% cost savings over current nanocomposite production methods. The process does not require chemical modification of the nanofiller or polymer matrix. Some industry insiders have described it as the "Holy Grail" of nanocomposite processing.

What is SCFP?


The SCFP is a mechanical process rather than a chemical application and, among other advantages, improves numerous polymer properties, such as:

  • Mechanical properties (superior strength and durability)
  • Heat deflection (under-the-hood automotive applications)
  • Gas and liquid permeability (important in food packaging and fuel containment)
  • Flame retardancy (important in electrical wiring and fire proofing)
  • Improved dimensional stability
  • Improved processing performance


    • Selected uses and applications of the SCFP technology are as follows:

  • Automotive Industry - structural and molded parts
  • Packaging Industry - plastic food wraps and bottles
  • Building, Construction and Consumer Products Industries - insulation, pipes and surface finish products
  • Life Sciences Industry - improved cosmetics and skin care products; targeted drug and medication delivery
