A. A. Parker Creates -
​new paradigms by using the power of surface chemistry. Product performance often depends on controlling surface chemistry, surface interactions, and adhesion between dissimilar materials. This philosophy has been paramount to A. A. Parker’s success in new product development. Several examples of the types of projects undertaken by A. A. Parker Consulting are listed below, including contract R&D projects, consulting projects, and independently funded product development projects.  Each of these projects has at least two things in common – knowing how to control surface chemistry, and most importantly, getting it right.
