AI data centers, HVDC substations, and fusion machines all run into the same limit in the same place: the polymer film inside the capacitor. Push the temperature up, and the film is what gives out first.

The usual answer is to wait for a better resin. We take a different route.

Our NanoPlex™ technology coextrudes commercially available polymers into tens to thousands of alternating layers, each one thinner than a wavelength of visible light. Below roughly 250 nanometers, polymers stop behaving the way they do in bulk. Crystals orient flat in the plane of the film. Every interface between layers becomes a charge trap that interrupts electrical trees before they cascade into breakdown.

That turns layer thickness, layer order, and material pairing into design variables. Instead of waiting a decade for new chemistry, we engineer the property a customer needs out of polymers the industry already produces, sources, and trusts.

NanoPlex LDF is that idea in the market today. A low dissipation factor film that runs at 135 °C versus 105 °C for standard BOPP-C film, which gives design teams thermal headroom to derate less, use fewer capacitors, and reduce cooling infrastructure and parts across the system.

And the same nanolayer technology is enabling performance breakthroughs across critical industries, from energy and e-mobility to aerospace, defense, and food and medical packaging.

Architecture, not new chemistry.

: Meet Farha Rod, a fourth-year Marketing student at The Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business and a returning Peak Nano intern.

This summer, Farha has been working with our Sales Ops and R&D teams on a rheology database designed to make it faster and easier to compare resins and identify potential formulations. She’s also helping bring technical polymer science concepts into a format that’s more accessible and useful across teams.

Here’s what her manager, Steve Zamiska, had to say:

“Farha rejoined the Sales Ops team in May and went straight to work on the Rheology Database, an automation program that cuts the time it takes to compare resins and identify potential formulations. She's building it from the ground up, gathering inputs directly from the R&D team, with V1 shipping in the coming weeks. She also brought back the Intern Spotlight from her last internship, a creative way to help the Peak team get to know our interns. It's been great having Farha back this summer! She's a consistently positive presence, and she delivers.”

Thanks, Farha, for your contributions this summer—and for helping us showcase the rest of our intern class along the way!

: Meet Owen Satmary. He is a first-year Business/Data Analytics student at Lorain County Community College.

Owen supported our facilities team and operations this summer, bringing a fresh perspective and a willingness to jump in wherever he was needed.

Here's what his manager, Joel Szczepanski, had to say: “Owen is a great asset to our team at Peak! He consistently brings a ‘can-do’ attitude and is always willing to tackle whatever task is put in front of him. His enthusiasm, hard work, and positive attitude are truly appreciated, and we're glad to have him as part of our team!"

We're grateful for the energy and initiative Owen brings to Peak Nano—and excited to see where his curiosity takes him next.

What does look like outside the classroom?

Today's is on Ben Yeklechik, a third-year Biomedical Engineering and Polymer Science student at Case Western Reserve University who has spent his summer finding out firsthand.

As part of Peak Nano’s R&D team, Ben is working across polymer film development, material characterization, microscopy, and data analysis. He’s even developed a MATLAB script to improve how early yield points are identified in thin-film tensile testing—helping calculate Young’s modulus more accurately.

It’s exactly the kind of intersection we want our interns to experience: materials science + data + real-world problem solving.

Thanks, Ben, for bringing your curiosity and analytical thinking to the lab this summer!

: Shawn Bailey is a fourth-year student at the University of Akron. He's making an impact on Peak Nano's operations by identifying practical ways to improve equipment and processes on our capacitor film production lines.

Here's what his manager, Michael Cantwell, had to say:

“Shawn has done an outstanding job since day one. He has implemented simple but impactful modifications to our baler and trim scrap handling system that reduce the workload for our technicians. He brings a can-do attitude, looks for areas where he can contribute, and doesn't overcomplicate solutions.

We're proud to have Shawn on the team and appreciate the practical thinking, initiative, and problem-solving skills he brings to Peak every day."

What will it take to make magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) commercially viable?

Breakthrough fusion systems are only part of the equation. The power electronics behind those systems must reliably deliver enormous amounts of energy for years—not months—while operating under extreme thermal and electrical stress.

In this video, our CMO, Shaun Walsh, explains why materials are becoming a critical design consideration for tokamaks, stellarators, and other magnetic confinement fusion systems.

Peak NanoPlex™ LDF dielectric films are engineered to help capacitors:

- Operate at temperatures up to 135°C without derating
- Last 3–5× longer than conventional solutions in demanding applications
- Improve the economics and reliability of next-generation fusion power systems

As the industry scales, innovation across the entire technology stack—including the behind critical components—will be essential.

: Zaynah Wahab is a second-year Computer Science student at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Zaynah is helping shape engineering workflows by building AI-powered software that transforms natural-language descriptions into structured engineering requirements, making complex design work faster and more intuitive.

Here's what her supervisor, Richard Lepkowicz, had to say: "Zaynah joined our optics team in early May. She didn't spend her first weeks ramping up. She spent them shipping. Inside a month she'd built the part of our design software engineers reach for every day, the piece that turns something complicated into something people can actually use. No warmup, no hand holding, just results. That's what you want from a summer intern."

We're glad to have Zaynah on the team and grateful for the creativity, initiative, and technical talent she brings to every project.

Can you improve barrier performance, meet evolving regulations, and reduce material costs without inventing a new polymer?

That's the challenge facing developers today.

Join Dr. Pam Wilson for our upcoming webinar, "Doing More With Less EVOH: How to Unlock More From Existing Polymers in Food Packaging," to explore how nanolayer architecture is opening new possibilities for packaging engineers.

You'll learn:

✔ Why remains the industry's leading oxygen barrier—and where it falls short
✔ How changing regulations, including PFAS restrictions, are reshaping packaging design
✔ How nanolayer architecture can unlock more performance from trusted, commercial polymers
✔ How Peak Nano's Films as a Service helps companies rapidly prototype and evaluate new film structures in as little as 6–10 weeks

Whether you're focused on barrier performance, recyclability, or accelerating development, this session will explain how new film architectures can help you get more from the materials you already use.

: We're excited to feature Maria Belorshka, an M.S. Optics & Photonics student at the University of Central Florida.

Maria is tackling one of the toughest challenges in optical design: combining machine learning and computational optics to help predict how complex lens designs evolve during optimization. Her research supports a broader effort to build smarter design tools for next-generation optical systems.

Here's what her supervisor, Richard Lepkowicz, had to say:

"Some people avoid the hardest problem in the room. Maria runs at it.

She joined our optics team in June and went straight for the deep end, the engineering under the hood that makes our design tools far more capable. It's the kind of work most engineers don't touch until years into a career.

She didn't wait for permission. She didn't pick the safe project. And she's still a student. Watch this one."

We're glad to have Maria on the team and excited to see how her curiosity, technical talent, and willingness to take on difficult problems continue to make an impact.
