Executive Summary
 

Inframat® Corporation ("IMC") is an emerging technology company founded in 1996 to develop nanostructured materials to improve performance and extend the life of coated components used throughout the global infrastructure. IMC’s technology is the following areas:  Industrial Nanocoatings, Magnetic Nanocomposites, Medical Implantable Devices, and Environmental Applications.

 

 

Industrial Nanocoatings products include:

 

  • Solution Plasma Spray (SPSTM) for functional coatings.  This process was developed to deposit high performance porous Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs). It can be used for a variety of functional coating applications to provide coating functionalities, such as composition, and microstructures that are unattainable using conventional thermal spray techniques such as plasma and HVOF.

 

  • Dense ceramic NanoxTM powder feedstocks for thermal spray applications, which have been certified for shipboard repair by the U.S. Navy.  These unique flexible ceramic coatings provide value in a variety of applications.

 

  • A broad range of nanostructured coating applications, including high lubricity and wear-resistant coatings, such as tungsten carbide/cobalt and its alloys, and cored wires (InfralloyTM, NanoxTM, NanocoresTM). These coatings are particularly useful in extreme working environment applications where a combination of hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance properties are of paramount importance, e.g., steel mill applications.

 

Magnetic Nanocomposite products demonstrate quantum mechanical effects "exchange coupling" that retain their nanostructure, resulting in dramatic improvements in magnetic parameters especially for high frequency applications.

 

 

Medical Implantable Device products include:

 

  • Novel processes to coat titanium implants (hip and knee joints) using ceramic nanocomposite to improve adhesion strength and reduce joint wear, and nano hydroxyapatite to improve adhesion strength and accelerate early stage healing.

 

Environmental Application products include:

 

    • A green electroplating technique (nickel composite nanocoatings) to replace hexavalent chrome plating.
    • A low-cost high surface area nanofibrous manganese dioxide “birds nest” for catalysis and filtration.
