Technology
Polgaze develops technologies that modify the behaviour of material surfaces.
Our work begins at the interface between a material and its environment.
By understanding and engineering that interface, we aim to change how surfaces interact with light, energy and the world around them.
Research interests include advanced electronics, semiconductors and photonics, including ClearSlik™, alongside marine biofouling and hydrodynamic surface technologies, anti-fog and transparent optical surface protection, and advanced polymers and functional materials.
Each research programme follows its own path, progressing as the science and evidence allow.
Surface Protection Technology
Reducing biological fouling through polymer material design rather than conventional toxic coatings.
