WILMINGTON, N.C., May 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Makevale is extremely proud to announce that the company has been awarded the highly coveted Queen’s Award for Innovation, one of the most prestigious business awards in the United Kingdom. This award has been given for Makevale’s development of special acrylic polymers used in the repair of bones, as well as other medical and technical end-uses.
Makevale has a long tradition of working with academia and industry to create new polymer materials and specialty monomer systems that help solve difficult life challenges. The company’s special acrylic powders are used to repair bones in orthopedic surgery, and the same materials have quite different but equally useful applications in the manufacturing of cosmetic nails, dentistry, and floor coatings.
Makevale’s current phase of research will lead to new 3D printing resins, novel cosmetic technologies, tougher polymers that can operate at extreme temperatures, greener processing chemistry and new composite materials to replace knee cartilage. These developments should enable manufacturers to make replacement hip and knee joints that will last longer and improve quality of life.
