Tetramer Granted a NSF Phase II SBIR for Gas Separation Membrane
Tetramer Technologies has received a Phase II SBIR grant from the NSF to continue the commercialization of it
CO2/CH3 gas separation membranes. These membranes have the potential to greatly improve the performance of
natural gas processing facilities while at the same time generating a supply of CO2. This large volume of CO2
separated out of the methane provides a valuable product in tertiary oil recovery which has the potential to greatly
reduce the US dependence on foreign oil fields.
Tetramer Receives matching funds from the State of South Carolina through SC Launch!
In December Tetramer Technologies received a Phase I SBIR grant from the NSF to develop new high performance
piezoelectric polymers. SC Launch! has matched the grant dollar for dollar with funds that can be used to aid in the
commercialization of this technology.
December 2007
Tetramer Granted an NSF Phase I SBIR
Tetramer received a grant to develop piezopolymers for the various applications which range from micro-actuators
to energy harvesting of waste heat.
November 2007
Tetramer receives NSF SBIR Phase IIB grant to develop Biorenewable Materials
Tetramer Technologies has received funding from the NSF to partner with a new company (to be named) to develop
biorenewable materials. These materials will compete with petroleum based products due to the increasing cost of
oil and continuous reduction in processing cost of natural oils (vegetable and seed oil).
August 2007
Tetramer/Clemson University joint grant awarded
A NSF SBIR Phase IIR grant was awarded to Tetramer Technologies and the Clemson University Center for
Advanced Engineering of Fibers and Films (CAEFF) to perform research on the industrial processing of PFCB
polymer nanocomposites. This grant represents a significant opportunity to advanced the relatively new
fluoropolymer into more commercial applications by decreasing the commercialization barrier. Read all about it:

Tetramer receives the Crystal Flame Entrepreneurship Award
Tetramer received the Crystal Flame Innovation Award for Entrepreneurship on May 2, 2007 at the FuelCellSouth
Conference held in Columbia, South Carolina. Tetramer was nominated for this award by members of the
southeast fuel cell industry for their development of advanced proton exchange membranes (PEM).
March 2007
Tetramer Granted a NSF Phase II SBIR
Tetramer Technologies announces a new grant with the NSF has been funded to continue work on developing
polymers for the encapsulation of nanoparticles. Specifically Tetramer will be working to develop polymers which
can encapsulate quantum dots at high concentrations without quenching there emissions. The development of
such a material will be a technological enabler which would help transition quantum dots from the laboratory into
industry.

Tetramer Technologies announces a new grant with the NSF has been funded to begin work on new EO polymer
systems.

Tetramer Featured in Two C&E News Article
Tetramer Technologies was recently featured in a Chemical and Engineering News article on the Entrepreneurial
Spirit. In addition, Dr. Earl Wagener's class at Clemson University was featured in Educating Entrepreneurs. In
addition to this article, more information on Earl's class is available in the Outreach page.
