Born out of the University of Queensland in 2005, Brisbane Materials has invested heavily in technology and application experience over the past six years. Their specialty materials, including low-cost, wide-area anti-reflective coatings, are designed for use in lighting, solar power, and other applications. These coatings, made using their patented technology, offer a cost-effective power increase when applied to solar panel covers, benefiting both photovoltaic and solar thermal systems. Additionally, their innovative manufacturing process provides an inexpensive and ready-to-use solution for lighting applications. In the long run, Brisbane Materials plans to expand its room temperature and atmospheric pressure synthesis of glass and ceramic coatings to various materials systems and applications.
