EnRoute Interfaces: Controlling Silicone Interfaces 

Silicones are known for their highly water repellent interfaces  EnRoute Interfaces grew out of research at McMaster University in the laboratory of Michael Brook. Our focus is to develop innovative technologies that change the properties of silicones at their external interface to make them:

• water wettable
• adhesive to minerals (e.g., silica)
• adhesive to organic materials, incluidng polymers and natural materials

Our proprietary technology is particularly targeted to microfluidics device makers to create highly wettable channels to meet the devices’ specifications. Please see our Products.

Contract Research

We offer the contract services for interfacial silane and silicone materials that of hydrophilic surface modification for your customer-defined devices.

We carry out research, development, and production at the facility of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology of McMaster University. We have full access to Biointerfaces Institute of McMaster University with a state-of-art facility able to investigate the nature of the material surfaces and biological/material interfaces.          

Enroute Interfaces, Inc. is a startup of McMaster University of Canada.  We are located on the campus of McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
