At our NASA-Ames laboratory, RMV both tests and evaluates advanced level polymers and ceramics for End Users and R&D organizations.
With a proven background with testing and evaluating experimental polymers before introduction into the commercial sector, we not only understand how a product can be utilized effectively in a Space Agency, Defense, Medical Device, Disk Drive, Semiconductor and Retail Environment, but we also see specific applications that could be introduced into a portfolio of products due to our years of work in controlled environments where the improper use or sourcing of materials can be major factor in failures on the factory floor with equipment, in-process, robotics including long term storage issues.
Years of R&D efforts can be shortened to months or week with RMV Leadership for product launches. With a combined expertise in Mitigation of electrostatic issues for Space Exploration, aerospace/defense, consumer electronics, medical device and disk drive, we can recommend specific target areas for performance to achieve specific electrical properties that will enhance the performance of your material or product.

What people are saying about our knowledge of advanced polymers
"That's a nice article on ESD Polymers that you wrote for Conformity. I have some experience with conductive polymers and I can see that you know what you are talking about." "...
One of his developments met NASA’s requirements for a Mars Mission. Mr. Vermillion and I have spent time on various ESD Standards Committee and have worked together
on projects involving NASA evaluations of materials which need to meet the rigorous requirements of the Space Agency. Bob is a coauthor of the ANSI/ESD S541-2003,
Packaging & Materials ESD Standard..." Ray Gomph, Ret. NASA Kennedy Space Center
