CORE COMPETENCIES
Wheeler Advanced Materials (WAM) specializes in the high-precision engineering of materials for extreme environments and the terminal remediation of persistent contaminants.
- Advanced Matter Transformation: Expert in high-fluence photonics and molecular-scale materials engineering.
- Terminal PFAS Remediation: Flagship Utility Patent Application #19/656,311 for the capture and absolute thermal destruction (1000°C) of PFOS and GenX.
- Scalable Infrastructure: Engineering solutions designed for high-volume industrial outfalls, gravity-fed municipal drainage (culverts), and consumer-level "drop-in" tap filtration.
PAST PERFORMANCE & R&D PEDIGREE
WAM’s track record is defined by setting federal standards and developing specialized hardware for National Defense and Security applications.
- National Defense Restrictions: Multiple portfolio assets have been flagged for National Defense Restrictions and restricted dissemination, establishing a baseline of high-value, protected R&D.
- Precision Metrology & Standards Development:
- NIST Standards: Developed National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards for fiber-optic end-face characterization, establishing industry-wide benchmarks for optical metrology.
- AFM Diamond Geometries: Engineered Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) diamond tips in complex 3D geometries for specialized applications in material science and Department of Defense (DoD) research.
- Ultrafast Laser Ablation: Established mastery in sub-micron lattice modification via cold ultrafast laser ablation for precision material phase-changes.
- Legacy Durability: Engineering of metal-substrate archival storage systems with a projected 10,000-year operational lifespan.
- Stealth R&D Strategy: Active portfolio includes seven (7) provisional applications currently in non-publication status to maintain a multi-year strategic advantage over global industrial competitors (3M, Dow, DuPont).
