Aculon

Aculon, Inc. commercializes unique surface and interfacial coatings leveraging nanotechnology discoveries made at Princeton University. The Princeton intellectual property includes two issued patents and seven pending applications, with Aculon as the exclusive worldwide licensee for non-biological applications.

Aculon's technology is exceptionally versatile and enables several platforms of high-value commercial opportunities. At present, the Company is focused on three platforms: (1) easy-clean, anti-smudge coatings for eyeglasses and other optical surfaces such as flat panel displays, and stainless steel; (2) coatings that boost adhesion strength to difficult-to-adhere-to surfaces such as glass, certain metals and plastics; and (3) coatings that improve the functionality of electronic devices such as displays, electrolytic capacitors and printed circuit boards.

Repellency Treatments for Electronics

Aculon's hydrophobic (water repelling and oleophobic (oil repelling) treatments for electronics can be used to increase reliability, improve performance characteristics and add value to consumer electronics in the form of easy clean finger print resistant surfaces.

Adhesion Promotion Treatments for Electronics

Aculon's adhesion promotion treatments can be used to increase the bond strength, eliminate delamination, and improve reliability of difficult to bond substrates.

Particle Treatments for Electronics

Surface modification treatments of particles are important for performance and reliability in electronics. Aculon’s  particle treatments can be used on a broad range of materials used in electronic applications including metals, metal oxides, polymers, and ceramics.
