MetaFuse™ nanocrystalline metal/polymer hybrid is an exciting and innovative polymer/metal hybrid technology that can be used to manufacture extremely lightweight components with the strength and stiffness of metal combined with the design flexibility and lightweight benefits of high-performance thermoplastics.
MetaFuse™ nanocrystalline metal/polymer hybrids turn traditional plastic/metal hybrid solutions inside-out by employing a proprietary process that precisely applies a thin ultra high-strength metal layer to molded components made of DuPont Engineering Polymers to create lightweight components in complex shapes with the stiffness of magnesium or aluminum and higher strength.
MetaFuse™ nanometal/plastic hybrids offer high performance with new design freedom:
-
Increased strength and stiffness at minimum weight
-
Direct fabrication of structural components in complex shapes
-
Improving strength, stiffness and creep of plastic parts at elevated temperatures
-
Adding hard, wear resistant and potentially low friction coating to plastics
-
Make plastics more impermeable, conductive and dimensionally stable
-
Aesthetics / metal look
MetaFuse® nanocrystalline metal/polymer hybrids are being introduced by DuPont Engineering Polymers and its alliance partners, Canadian-based Morph Technologies Inc., Integran Technologies Inc. and US-based PowerMetal Technologies.
