Discoveries in nanotechnology will lead to unprecedented understanding and control over the fundamental building blocks of all physical things. Nanotechnology is the science of the small, but it holds the promise of making extraordinary changes in virtually every facet of life. The possibilities are endless, exciting, and ready to be exploited. Advances in the efficiency of energy consumption, highly specific drug delivery, and intelligent protective materials are only a few examples of what can be accomplished with nanotechnology polymer materials.

From our work with polymer resins and materials, we have developed a proprietary nanotechnology family of polymers and processes. Using existing equipment and processes, Dais creates high-charge density polyelectrolytes, which have a wide array of useful characteristics.

By starting at the molecular level, Dais has crafted solutions to some of our most urgent environmental and infrastructure challenges. Securing clean water and sustainable energy through existing technology remains problematic. As we progress into the 21st century, the demand for these resources will only grow at an increasingly staggering rate. Dais is poised to offer 21st century solutions for these 21st century problems.

Our materials are derived from the sulfonation of styrene-containing block copolymers. The block copolymers phase-separate on a nanoscopic scale forming nano-domains that are interconnected, afford excellent ionic conductivity and water transport. Our polymers can be covalently crosslinked and compounded with a variety of other polymers and/or inorganic fillers, thus representing the basis for a broad class of materials with unique properties and applications. These include excellent ion conduction, ion-exchange capability, moisture transfer, and anti-fouling properties.

Dais has many issued United States patents with coverage ranging from Composition of Matter to Application.
