Controlled release polymer structures for in situ remediation

For the environmental remediation industry, AxNano is developing novel In-Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) products based upon novel Controlled Release Polymer Structures (CRPS). Invented at North Carolina A&T SU, this new class of controlled delivery structures serves as a slow release ISCO technology that has the potential to transform the market. With the capability to release high doses of reactive agents in a single application, this low-cost technology greatly mitigates exposure risk during deployment while allowing for efficient treatment of contaminated groundwater. As such, the user defined reactive agents are encapsulated within a safe, easy to handle, solid matrix.
