SupraPolix BV
SupraPolix BV offers a new concept in the world of plastics by separating the processability
demands from the material demands: incorporation of already a small amount of our product
SupraB
® expands the scope of applications for existing polymeric materials by dramatically
simplifying their processing. As a consequence, production can be significantly cheaper and
faster, whereas the consumer will benefit from innovated products that are easier to use and
more environmentally benign.
history and background
The seminal work in the field of supramolecular polymer chemistry performed in the
group of Bert Meijer and Rint Sijbesma at the Eindhoven University of Technology,
the Netherlands, has led to the development of new materials which benefit from the
sophisticated design of self-complementary quadruple hydrogen bonding units that give
strong and directional secondary interactions while the chemistry remained simple. The
key to their success was the use of quadruple hydrogen bonding units that combine easy
preparation with strong secondary interactions. Emerging from 1996, several key-papers
on this subject have appeared in professional journals. Moreover, academic research dealing
with supramolecular polymers is one of the leading themes in this research group at the
Eindhoven university of technology.
The large interest from industry in the concept of reversible polymers was one of the main
motivations to start SupraPolix BV. SupraPolix offers new reversible materials to increase
revenues, improve quality, and strengthen sustainability.
the founders
SupraPolix BV is a company founded to commercialize her proprietary technology platform
describing supramolecular polymers. SupraPolix BV is an initiative of Bert Meijer, chemistry
professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands, Tonny Bosman and
Henk Janssen both having a PhD in chemistry; and David Driessen CPA, who brings in the financial expertise.
SupraPolix BV is managed by Tonny Bosman (CEO) and David Driessen (CFO). In addition there is a strong
strategic alliance with SyMO-Chem BV and the Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands.
