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.

Each research programme follows its own path, progressing as the science and evidence allow.

Optical Surface Technology

Reducing unwanted reflection at the interface between air and glass.

Surface Protection Technology

Reducing biological fouling through polymer material design rather than conventional toxic coatings.
