Welcome

Highly porous materials and solid-coated microcapsules: materials with unique and novel properties.

Porous materials are widely used as thermal insulations and play an important role in reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emission. de Cavis develops highly-porous materials with outstanding mechanical and thermal properties based on a novel Platform Technology. These materials are designed to be applied at temperatures above 1600°C. The deep knowledge of this patented technology allows de Cavis to tailor the product properties according to your requirements and the needs of your particular application.  In addition, de Cavis carries out research in the area of solid-coated microcapsules in close collaboration with ETH Zürich. The unique structure of these capsules makes them interesting candidates for encapsultion and release of various chemical compounds. Contact us for further information.

de Cavis AG was established in January 2009 as ETH Zürich Spin-off company. It collaborates closely with the group of Nonmetallic Inorganic Materials as its main research partner.

de Cavis is part of the CTI Startup program and finalist in the Venture Kick initiative.
