Public Profile

Kubota Research Associates Inc. is a technology company that has developed and patented the award winning P-Wave™ radiation technology, a unique new process for joining plastics and manufacturing composites. Kubota Research manufactures and markets plastic joining and assembly systems and supplies composite and advanced materials manufacturing and processing technology. With roots in imaging, P-Wave™ harnesses light using precision optics and electromagnetic wavelength management to get the right energy where it is needed. An environmentally benign process joins plastics and polymers efficiently and cost effectively without damage to the material surface, whether it is flat or three-dimensional. P-Wave™ is a core technology for joining plastics and composites that has been extended with materials and processes developed under grants from NSF and DOD to manufacture advanced composites in a way that has never been done before. The result is strong, shatterproof and easily manufactured composites.
