LinkedON^TM Technology Overview

Nanoparticles are Useful...
LinkedON^TM Technology Makes Them Powerful

LinkedON^TM is Dune Sciences approach to the positioning and self-assembly of nanoscale building blocks into useful structures. What does this mean for our customers? Greater access to the unique properties of nanomaterials for the development of successful, next-generation nanoenabled products.

The advantages of LinkedON^TM technology to our customers include:
• Positioning of nanomaterials onto diverse substrates with nanoscale resolution.
• Permanent or semi-permanent bonds between nanomaterials and diverse substrates.
• Amenable to wide-classes of nanomaterials and substrates.
• Use of self-assembly to maximize materials usage while reducing cost.

How does it work? Dune Sciences employs bifunctional chemical linkers, a sort of "molecular glue." One end of the linker bonds specifically to our customers nanomaterials, while the other end is specific to the target material:

Using LinkedON^TM technology, Dune Sciences can tether nanomaterials to almost any surface, in one-, two- and even three-dimensions. Applications include electronics, optical applications, catalysis, bioactive surfaces, and printed circuits.

Our current products span LinkedON Silver^TM, LinkedON Gold^TM, LinkedON Copper^TM and LinkedON Antimicrobials^TM or contact us to learn how LinkedON^TM technology will benefit your next project.
