A
When we have documented that the performance of the tailored RadiBond™ or RadiPrime™
solution comply with the customers specification the next step is a license agreement on the
use of the process in the customers production line
Our nanoprimer technology add specialty performance to your product, but we offer our
standard license packages at cost-competetive prices
Our basic license agreements is provided on basis of a royalty-free lump sum payment

After the license deal has been completed our engineers will start scaling up and adapting the
tailored process for the production line of the customer
We will adapt our own in-house chemical production to be ready to run a sustainable

Our accomplished

RadiBond™/
RadiPrime™ process
for your specific
production line
Putting it all together
During this phase we will run pilot production of samples primed with RadiBond™ or
RadiPrime™ that will be used for product validation testing at the customers facilities
Finally, we will put everything together and deliver documentation for the final facility,
specification for process parameters, CAPEX/OPEX and supply chain structure
34. A
Throughout the lifetime of the facility we will supply
technical support and service on demand
When we have finalized the scale up activities, we will supply the blue print for the full-scale
facility for applying the RadiBond™ or RadiPrime™ primer layer
In many cases, the customer have the resources to construct the process facility on their own
with our consultancy. However, we will also be able to deliver the final installed facility together
with our R&D partners
After construction and installation of we will supervise the commisioning and run-in to full
operational capacity and supply the training of the operational personnel

Integrated into the existing production line
Our focus is normally to make a seamless integration of the facility into the customers existing
production lines. However, since the parts primed with RadiBond™ and RadiPrime™ can be
stored for months, it is easy to separate this facility both geographically and in time

Throughout the license period we keep a sustainable supply of our ready-to-use RadiBond™

Editor's Notes
Despite the less than 100 nm thick adhesion layer, materials assembled with the Nanobonding technique have shown impressive tolerances for tensile stresses and strains.
In tensile tests, the bonding between PMMA and stainless steel only breaks at the breaking point of the PMMA of ~10 MPa. For other materials, the result is even stronger.
In our recent Innobooster project, we ran a series of tests on the stability of the bonding in climate chamber. These tests demonstrated that even 6 weeks of exposure to high humidity and with temperatures cycling from -50oC to +70oC two times per day gave no reduction in the bonding strength. By 12 weeks, they still kept up to 50% of their strength despite the very rough treatment.

The entire RadiSurf team will be involved in this project, since it is at the core of our business. The project will be headed by CEO, PhD Mikkel Kongsfelt, who has extensive project management experience from innovation projects both in RadiSurf and at Aarhus University with multiple industry collaborators and has participated in the Pasteur Project management course at Harvard University.
Mie Lillethorup has been working with surface chemistry for more than 10 years, and has recently returned from a post-doc position at Stanford University. She will be hired in a full-time position to be in charge of all the developments in phase 1 of the project. This will be conducted in close collaboration with our industrial PhD, Stefan Urth Nielsen, and Michael Kristensen who was hired during our first Innobooster project.
Espen Hvidsten Dahl joined RadiSurf in 2017 to increase our knowledge about scaling up chemical productions for industry applications. Espen will be in charge of our phase 2 and phase 3 activities in close collaboration with both Mie Lillethorup and Michael Kristensen.
Accelerated lifetime tests and stability tests will be conducted by DTI.
Furthermore, we will include our founders; Professor Kim Daasbjerg, Associate Professor Steen Uttrup Pedersen and Associate Professor Mogens Hinge as advisory board during the project.
We have conducted adhesive tests for a range of material combinations and have so far found few combinations we cannot solve. In the figure, material combination that have been verified and validated with documented performance data are market with green. Material combinations where we either have proof-of-concept without validated data or we expect bonding from a fundamental chemical perspective are marked with blue.
We normally approach new material combination when we have an actual customer request, but we also do validation of untested material combinations if we can see a clear market interest.
We can work on most types of materials, so if they are not on the list it is because we have not yet tested this specific material. Bonding to some materials do, however, require more efforts to solve. Take contact to know more about what types of materials we can work on.
