Heat transfer & interfaces
Move heat out
Explore interfaces, processes and structures with practical assembly and thermal cycling in mind. Evaluate the complete heat path.
TiKOUS / OPEN COLLABORATION
The next thermal breakthrough.
Let’s build it together.
Breakthroughs need new materials—and partners who can bring them into application. Inventors, researchers and industry experts: explore development, validation and commercialization with us.

01 / THE CHALLENGES
Start with a real thermal challenge.
Heat transfer and insulation serve different purposes. Bring materials, structures and processes whose value can be evaluated with evidence.
Thin insulation & protection
Keep heat apart
Explore ways to limit unwanted heat transfer within thickness, weight and environmental constraints across equipment, energy storage, cold chain and industry.
Process & scale
Make it manufacturable
Bring coating, dispersion, forming and quality-control innovations that bridge laboratory work and repeatable production.

Start a proposal ↗02 / HOW WE WORK
What TiKOUS carries in a collaboration.
Moving a material toward application needs someone to state the application conditions clearly and make the comparison reviewable. Below is the role TiKOUS takes and how we work — not a claim about past results.
Agree the conditions first
Before any comparison, we agree the geometry, power, environment and measurement point. That makes the result reviewable, and makes its limits explainable.
Surface production questions early
Coating, dispersion, forming and batch consistency enter the discussion during evaluation, rather than being left until just before scale-up.
One material, several application views
TiKOUS works across both heat dissipation and insulation, covering computing, industrial equipment, energy, UAV and building. The same material can be examined from more than one application angle.
We do not compete on formulation
Our role is application evaluation and commercialisation, not replicating your technology. You remain the source and the rights holder.
This materials collaboration programme is new, and we have no published collaboration cases yet. We will state plainly what we can do at this stage and what has to be confirmed together.
First response: within 10 working days.
03 / FROM IDEA TO APPLICATION
A clear next step. Respect for your work.
- 01Non-confidential brief
- 02Discuss fit & application
- 03Confidentiality & evaluation
- 04Agree collaboration terms
Do not include formulas, unpublished processes or confidential information in an initial proposal. Agree confidentiality before sensitive exchanges. Existing IP, new results, evaluation costs and licensing or sales terms require a separate written agreement.
Evaluation topics: baseline, test conditions, reliability, process compatibility and supply feasibility. TiKOUS contributions and scope are agreed following initial discussions.
PARTNERSHIP / FAQ
Before we begin.
Can early-stage research be proposed?
Yes. Describe your hypothesis, existing evidence and the help you need next. Production readiness and confidential disclosures are not required.
Do I need a patent to collaborate?
Thermal design, testing, process and supply-chain expertise are welcome. Share public experience and your proposed role, without employer or customer confidential information.
Does TiKOUS guarantee investment or sales?
This invitation is not an investment, purchase or sales commitment. Resources, milestones and commercial terms are agreed case by case.
04 / START A CONVERSATION
What thermal challenge
are you working on?
You do not need a complete business plan. A clear, non-confidential summary is enough to start a discussion.
