This brings total funding to €3.1 million, which will be used to advance PlasmaBound’s vision to make lightweight composite materials affordable for low- to mid-range vehicles. PlasmaBound has developed controlled polymer ablation (CPA), an environmentally friendly, high-speed and low-cost bonding technology for composite materials. The company anticipates that its technology will help move the drive toward lower CO2 emissions and longer electric vehicle (EV) range into mass-market applications. PlasmaBound, a University College Dublin (UCD) spin-out company, was co-founded in 2017 by Dr. James Nicholas Barry, Alan Barry and Xavier Montibert. It was recently selected as one of five startups to win access to the Hyundai Motor Co. and KIA Corp. sponsored 2022 Accelerate the Future Challenge. PlasmaBound is headquartered at NovaUCD. “We are delighted to have secured this investment from BVP. It will help PlasmaBound bring about a further positive impact to the environment with the adaption of our CPA technology in manufacturing process throughout various sectors, with a particular focus on automotive, aerospace and space, along with consumer electronics, and sports and eisure,” Alan Barry, CEO, PlasmaBound, says.
