αGEL Solutions
Haptic Management
Capable of expressing a wide variety of tactile sensations by using αGEL alone or in combination with other materials providing “value of sensation” to your products.
Characteristics
- ●Wide variety of softness
- αGEL not only having the characteristics of softness but can be customizable of the hardness and resilience by molecular structure, cross-linking density, controlling the amounts of solvents or additives. Furthermore, with surface treatments such as powder coating and/or embossing as well as with combination with other materials, tactile expression can be further expanded.
- ●Provides the Value of Sensation
- αGEL is the “Material of Sensation” that intuitively appeals to sensation. It provides not only functional values, but also sensational values.
- ●Comfortable experience
- Utilizing the characteristics of αGEL providing values of sensitivity and sensation, we can offer product design supports through tactile experiences and communications.
Benefits
- Haptics
- Haptics is, not only touching but also being touched, including one’s own movement, a general sensation cognizing relationships between oneself and external world. For instance, Haptics include broad feelings or sensations such as the texture of touching material, the realization of pushing switch, the sense of confidence of shaking hands.
- Tactile Expression
- Not only “Function” but also “Experience/Value of sensation & sensibility” are important for a product or a service development. αGEL having unique softness and comfortable tactile sense is intuitively appealing “Material of Sensation & Sensibility” and is used products requiring the values for the tactile sense.
- Material of Sensation & Sensibility
- αGEL, influencing some things to mind (comfortable and so on), is the material inducing sensation and emotion when humans touch things.
- Indicator of softness of Sensation & Sensibility
- αGEL visualizes the softness of physical data (Numeric indicator) and the emotion when humans touch things.
Mechanism
αGEL, gel type material, has 3 characteristics of polymer, cross-linking and solvent. The hardness and resilience ofαGEL can be customizable by molecular structure, cross-linking density, or controlling the amounts of solvents or additives.
