Shocking Technologies

Series C in 2011
Shocking Technologies, Inc. started operations as a privately held, venture-backed company developing Voltage Switchable Dielectricâ„¢ (VSDâ„¢) materials. A VSDâ„¢ material is a polymer nano-composite that behaves like an insulator (dielectric) during normal circuit operation and becomes conductive when the voltage across the VSDâ„¢ material increases beyond a predefined threshold voltage. The voltage switches back to an insulator again after the voltage drops below the threshold. This unique property, coupled with the ability to tailor the response of the material, opens up several new areas in electronics. The first application being introduced enables embedded electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in printed circuit boards (PCBs) and semiconductor packages. Subsequent applications will usher in new manufacturing processes as well as novel product designs.
