Particle surface modification

The surface decides how a material performs.

Veloxion engineers the surface of particles so that materials become more stable, more functional and easier to combine. For energy storage, pharmaceuticals, coatings and other high-performance materials.

What we do

Surface engineering, particle by particle.

Most of what a particle does, it does at its surface: how it reacts, how it ages, how it disperses, what it bonds to. Veloxion modifies that surface and tailors its characteristics to the property a material needs, while the particle underneath stays what it is.

Stability

Surfaces that resist what degrades a material: moisture, oxidation, unwanted side reactions, heat.

Functionality

Surfaces that add a capability the base particle lacks: conductivity, reactivity, controlled release, wetting.

Compatibility

Surfaces that let a particle work with its surroundings: an electrolyte, a binder, a polymer matrix or a formulation.

Technology

One particle. Three layers of control.

We modify the surface of particles, not the particles themselves. A thin, engineered layer sets how the particle meets its environment, and with it the stability, functionality and compatibility of the material it becomes part of.

The technology originates from research at ETH Zurich and is owned by Veloxion AG. We develop it further with industrial and academic partners and make it available through development projects and licensing.

  1. Define the property

    Which material, which application, and what needs to change: cycle stability, dispersion, reactivity, adhesion.

  2. Engineer the surface

    We design the surface chemistry and the layer for that target, on your particle, not on a model system.

  3. Verify in application

    The modified material is evaluated in your process and product, against your own reference.

  • CoreThe material you already make. Its bulk chemistry does not change.
  • Engineered surfaceA thin layer, tailored by Veloxion, that sets how the particle behaves.
  • EnvironmentElectrolyte, binder, matrix or formulation. The surface is where the two meet.

Applications

Where the surface matters.

The same principle serves very different industries. What changes is the particle, the environment it has to work in, and the property that counts.

Company

A Swiss company built around one technology.

Veloxion AG was founded in 2025 in Landquart, in the canton of Graubünden, to develop, protect and commercialise surface modification technology for particles. The company owns the intellectual property and works with industrial and academic partners in Switzerland and abroad.
