hard to imagine where the aerospace, automotive, maritime and textile industries would be without plastics, polymers and composites. They touch on virtually every domain of our personal and professional lives - sporting goods, graphic arts, cosmetics, oil and natural gas exploration and production, gas barrier, liquid barrier, separation membrane, controlled release for pharmaceutical or agricultural uses, biomedical, construction, electronic, environmental, mechanical and structural engineering, and optical applications.

Founded by Dr. Jozef Bicerano in 2004, Bicerano & Associates (B&A) has well established partnerships in the plastics, polymer and composite technology sector, including labs with an ISO 9001-certification for analytical laboratory services.

Plastics, polymers and composites touch every part of our lives; from sporting goods and cosmetics, to oil and natural gas exploration and production. As experts in the plastics and polymer industry, we have a deep understanding of the formulation-structure-processing-morphology-property-performance relationships in polymeric systems, and the practical product and process implications of these complex relationships.

Bicerano & Associates (B&A) was founded by Dr. Jozef Bicerano in 2004, following his retirement from a distinguished twenty year career in polymer research and development at the Dow Chemical Company. Our mission is to provide expert and cost-effective solutions for all product and process technology challenges.

With well established partnerships in the plastics, polymer and composite technology sector, B&A has the well-earned reputation of providing focused and cost-effective services on polymers and composites to all sectors.

Our clients range from Fortune 500 companies to startup firms operating with venture capital, who use polymers and composites for a vast range of applications, including; aerospace, automotive, marine, sporting goods, textiles, cosmetics, oil and natural gas exploration and production, graphic arts, gas barrier, liquid barrier, separation membrane, controlled release for pharmaceutical or agricultural uses, biomedical, engineering (electrical, environmental, mechanical and structural), construction, optical, and more.

B&A collaborates with state-of-the-art laboratories and leading business and technical intelligence providers to ensure that clients' needs are met, and expectations exceeded. Unlike many consultative service companies, we offer these third-party services at cost, without surcharges, and with invoices submitted to clients directly from our affiliates.

We are highly flexible, and provide our clients with many options to collaborate with B&A:

Consulting services - provided on an hourly or daily basis to address client questions and problems.

Contract research - typically undertaken to provide solutions to problems requiring a more intensive effort, contract research involves focused projects of a larger scale, with mutually agreed milestones and deliverables.

Retainer - An option that is appropriate in projects with a consistent and predictable amount of continuous work.

Joint development - The client and B&A work on the basis of a profit-sharing agreement, with the possibility of joint ownership of intellectual assets generated during the project also being negotiated as a component of the agreement.

Our work has led to the filing of dozens of patent applications for five different clients, with the commercial rights assigned to the client, resulting thus far in 29 issued U.S. patents in eight distinct patent families for three clients.

We pledge to always maintain the strict confidentiality of any proprietary information provided to us by our clients.
