Materials research that reaches the production line
Novera Arge Teknoloji works on polymer and elastomer systems for industrial manufacturers. We develop and validate formulations, then stay with the work until it runs at scale in a real process.
Our work sits across four related fields. Most projects draw on more than one of them at the same time.
Materials science
Thermoplastic and elastomer compound development, additive systems, filler and reinforcement selection, and the use of recycled feedstock in production grades.
Process engineering
Optimisation of extrusion, injection moulding and curing parameters, looking at cycle time, scrap rate and energy use together rather than one at a time.
Performance under stress
Material systems for applications that involve high temperature, chemical exposure, electrical insulation or long outdoor service life.
Circular materials
Design for recyclability, mono-material construction, substitution of restricted substances and reformulation work aimed at lowering environmental impact.

How we work
A development process with defined gates
Every project follows the same structure. Moving from one stage to the next depends on meeting technical criteria that were agreed at the start.
01
Technical discovery
We establish the service conditions, the specification, the applicable regulations and the cost ceiling. The output is a written scope document.
02
Feasibility
Literature and patent review, a shortlist of candidate materials, first samples and fast screening tests to narrow the field.
03
Development
Iterative formulation using design of experiments, with mechanical, thermal and rheological characterisation recorded at each round.
04
Validation and handover
Pilot production, verification under real process conditions, then transfer of the recipe card, process parameters and quality plan.
Decisions backed by measurementEvery recommendation arrives with the test data, the comparison it came from and its cost implication.
Why Novera
The result is a working process, not a report
Development work only pays off when it survives contact with a production line. That is why we close projects with a usable formulation, a process parameter set and a supply plan rather than a set of findings.
Independent advice. We are not tied to a raw material brand. The data decides which direction we take.
Designed to scale. Formulations are developed with the constraints of serial production in mind from the first iteration.
Clear ownership. Who owns the output of a project is written into the contract before work starts.
Confidential by default. Projects run under NDA, with samples and data held under a project reference.
It depends on the scope. Improving an existing compound is usually a matter of weeks. Developing a material from scratch and validating it takes several months. We give you a dated plan at the end of the feasibility stage, once we know what we are dealing with.
The contract sets this out. In customer funded development the output belongs to the customer. Knowledge that Novera brought into the project already, our background IP, stays with us. In joint development the split is agreed in writing before work begins.
Yes. Not every question needs a full development programme. A root cause investigation into a production defect, or finding an equivalent for a raw material that has become hard to source, can be taken on as a short piece of work on its own.
Routine mechanical, thermal and rheological characterisation is done in house, because waiting two weeks instead of two days for a result changes the length of the whole project. Accredited certification and analyses that need specialist instruments are run with university laboratories and independent test houses we work with regularly.
Where the scope fits a scheme such as TUBITAK or KOSGEB, we prepare the technical sections of the application and supply the technical content of the interim reports. The financial and administrative side stays with the applicant company.
Tell us what you are trying to solve
Whether you have a full development brief or a single production problem, the starting point is the same. Send us the application conditions and we will tell you what is realistic.
