Aruga has leveraged nature-inspired phenomena to introduce unique dynamic surfaces that wrinkle and unwrinkle to remove surface fouling on-demand or on a continuous basis. The impact of Aruga Technologies on both human as well as industrial challenges is limitless. Aruga has created a versatile and sustainable technology platform that addresses opportunities ranging from the longevity of cardiovascular implants to more efficient water purification and desalination, to enhanced drug manufacturing, all while reducing costs.Additionally, using inherently activated, engineered methods for dynamic deformation of self-cleaning surfaces one can reduce the need for chemical or mechanical de-fouling solutions that are costly and have an adverse impact on the environment. Aruga's broad technology platform creates the basis for a high growth sustainable enterprise founded not only on great science but strong IP.
