Problem
Traditional viscoelastic materials used in protective equipment and medical devices often exhibit limitations in energy absorption, particularly across varying temperatures and frequencies. This can compromise the effectiveness of these devices in providing adequate protection or therapeutic benefit.
Solution
Impressio develops ultra-dissipative liquid-crystal elastomer (LCE) materials designed for superior energy absorption in a wide range of applications. Their proprietary manufacturing process yields materials that combine properties of both liquids and solids, resulting in consistent performance that surpasses traditional viscoelastic materials. These LCEs can be used in medical applications, protective gear, and additive manufacturing, offering improved impact resistance and vibration damping. Impressio also offers LCE resin for purchase.
