Alberto Borghi

TEC STAR is an Italian company that provides full service solutions for nanotechnology including analysis, development, and industrial supply of nanoparticles. They specialize in developing nanocomposite polymers by adding nanoparticles to materials like polypropylene, polyurethane and PMMA to improve properties such as mechanical strength, flame resistance, and barrier effects. Their process involves characterizing polymer materials, producing nanoparticle-enhanced masterbatches, injection molding test parts, and analyzing the distribution and resulting performance enhancements of the nanoparticles within the polymer matrices.
