Innovate.
Develop.
Achieve.
At Plasmagear, we provide comprehensive Research and Development services to support our clients in advancing their product innovations. Our R&D services are designed to cater to a wide range of needs, from experimenting with existing formulations to developing entirely new products. We believe innovation can change the world. In the past, small to medium-sized businesses struggled to compete with large multinational companies due to limited R&D resources and budgets. Today, that has changed.
We provide electrospinning and plasma related services to accelerate projects and solve challenges efficiently and cost-effectively. By closely collaborating with our clients, we ensure a deep understanding of their needs and deliver tailored solutions. Projects can be conducted entirely in our facility or a combination of both in-house and client-side work, depending on the requirements.

We work to further develop and refine your IP, enhancing its potential and preparing it for commercial success. Whether it’s optimizing existing technologies or advancing new ones, our team provides the expertise to bring your intellectual property to life.
Electrospinning and Plasma Technology for Diverse Industries
Plasmagear provides cutting-edge R&D services utilizing electrospinning and plasma technology to deliver advanced solutions across a range of industries. These technologies enable us to develop high-performance materials with unique properties that address the specific challenges faced by various sectors.
Filtration
Electrospinning enables the production of ultrafine nanofiber filters, providing superior filtration performance for air, water, and industrial applications. Plasma treatment further enhances the filtration capacity by improving surface properties, such as wettability and adhesion, making these filters more effective in capturing smaller particles.
Automotive
In the automotive industry, we apply electrospinning to produce lightweight, durable materials that enhance vehicle performance while reducing overall weight. Plasma treatments are used to improve the adhesion and durability of automotive parts, such as filters and interior components. Our R&D services include:
Textile Innovations
Through electrospinning, we create smart fabrics and high-performance textiles with nanofiber structures that offer lightweight, breathable, and durable materials. Plasma technology is used to modify the surface of these textiles, making them more resistant to environmental stressors such as heat, water, and chemicals.
Cosmetics
In the cosmetics industry, electrospinning is utilized to create nanofiber-based delivery systems that enhance the efficacy of active ingredients. Plasma technology is applied to improve the stability, texture, and performance of cosmetic formulations.
Energy
In the energy sector, electrospinning is applied to create high-performance separators for batteries, as well as nanofiber-based components for fuel cells and solar panels. Plasma technology is used to improve the conductivity and efficiency of these materials by modifying their surface properties, making them ideal for energy storage and conversion applications.
Agriculture
We develop PFAS-free smart coatings to protect agricultural equipment from heat, moisture, and chemicals, ensuring durability. Our advanced seed coatings enhance germination and nutrient delivery, promoting healthier crop growth. Additionally, plasma-treated materials support efficient water and soil management, reducing environmental impact while boosting agricultural productivity.
Product Packaging
We utilize electrospinning to create nanofiber-based packaging materials that offer improved barrier properties, extending product shelf life and ensuring freshness. Plasma coating is used to develop biodegradable coatings that enhance the sustainability and functionality of packaging materials.
Biomedical Applications
We leverage electrospinning technology to develop nanofiber scaffolds for tissue engineering, creating highly porous structures that mimic the natural extracellular matrix to support cell growth. Plasma technology is used to modify surface properties, enhancing biocompatibility and promoting cell adhesion. These advancements are crucial for:
