Introduction: the partnership driving change
Technological revolutions often hinge on visionary partnerships. Jerry Stokes, Nanize’s chief commercial officer, brings decades of experience in renewable energy and global manufacturing. Paul Savluc, founder of OpenQQuantify, is a polymath whose expertise spans artificial intelligence, engineering, microelectronics and quantum simulation. Together they form a powerhouse team: Stokes focuses on scaling Nanize’s PFAS‑free coatings across industries, while Savluc acts as a strategic adviser, helping the company leverage cutting‑edge technology and global networks to accelerate adoption.
Paul Savluc: digital‑transformation guru and global connector
Savluc’s career demonstrates mastery of machine learning, deep learning, simulations and quantum computing. He has led projects integrating AWS SageMaker and Azure SQL databases to analyse customer behaviour and predict ad performance, built advanced natural‑language‑processing pipelines, and used reinforcement learning to optimise industrial processes. His team at OpenQQuantify pioneers digital twin simulations, using AI to model complex systems like processor architectures, quantum processors and RF signal processing. This experience allows Savluc to advise Nanize on how to simulate curing processes, friction patterns and surface interactions, reducing product‑development cycles.
Lessons from global innovation hubs
Savluc has collaborated with organisations across the U.S., Europe and Asia, including the Linux Foundation, Chips Alliance and Nvidia Enterprise. His exposure to global supply chains and emerging technologies enables him to guide Nanize on scaling production, securing cross‑border partnerships and navigating regulatory environments. Savluc believes that the interplay between hardware innovations like Nanize’s coatings and software innovations like AI‑powered manufacturing will define the next decade of industry.
Advising Nanize: a blueprint for sustainable growth
1. Digital twins for rapid innovation
Savluc encourages Nanize to adopt digital twin simulations of manufacturing lines. By simulating curing conditions, friction coefficients and wear patterns using generative AI models, the company can optimise coating formulations before physical trials. This reduces waste and speeds up product iterations.
2. Data‑driven customer engagement
By applying machine‑learning algorithms to market and customer data, Savluc helps Nanize identify the industries most ready to adopt PFAS‑free coatings. AI models can forecast demand in automotive, aerospace and consumer‑electronics sectors, enabling Stokes to prioritise partnerships.
3. Quantum‑secure IoT integration
For industries deploying Nanize’s coatings on connected devices (e.g., sensors, EV chargers and smart appliances), Savluc advises the use of quantum‑resistant cryptography and IoT security frameworks. His knowledge of quantum computing and cryptography ensures that data collected from coated devices remains secure, positioning Nanize as a leader in secure industrial IoT.
A 2026 vision: scaling PFAS‑free coatings across industries
Consumer goods and cookware
By 2026, consumers will expect PFAS‑free labels on cookware and kitchen gadgets. Nanize’s coatings provide the same slick cooking experience without harmful chemicals. Savluc and Stokes are working with kitchenware manufacturers to integrate digital tracking (for example, QR codes linking to product lifecycle data), offering transparency about coating composition and sustainability.
Automotive and aerospace
Electric‑vehicle makers and aircraft manufacturers demand coatings that reduce drag and withstand extreme conditions. Nanize’s low‑friction surfaces and space‑grade durability make them ideal, and Savluc is helping to simulate aerodynamic performance under varying conditions. Stokes’s connections in the EV sector ensure that these innovations reach the right decision‑makers.
Electronics and medical devices
Smartphones, tablets and medical devices need fingerprint‑free, bacteria‑resistant surfaces. Nanize’s hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings fit the bill. Savluc’s experience in microelectronics and his partnerships with chip manufacturers help Nanize integrate coatings into supply chains for sensors and wearable devices.
Infrastructure and public spaces
Public‑infrastructure assets such as bridges, transit stations and wind‑turbine blades benefit from anti‑graffiti and self‑cleaning surfaces. Nanize’s coatings, which cure rapidly and repel contaminants, reduce maintenance costs and improve longevity. Stokes leverages his energy‑sector experience to advocate for PFAS‑free coatings in renewable‑energy projects and smart cities.
The human story: protecting future generations
Both Stokes and Savluc emphasise that the shift from Teflon to Nanize is not only a technological leap but also a humanitarian imperative. PFAS persist in the environment, accumulate in blood and breast milk, and interfere with reproduction and immune systems. Studies show PFAS are present in placenta, cord blood and amniotic fluid, linking prenatal exposure to low birth weights and birth defects. By advancing PFAS‑free coatings, the duo aims to prevent generational poisoning and ensure that children in 2026 and beyond are not born with toxic chemicals in their bodies.
Conclusion: a blueprint for lasting change
The partnership between Jerry Stokes and Paul Savluc demonstrates that sustainable materials innovation and digital‑transformation expertise can work hand‑in‑hand. Stokes uses his global energy‑sector experience to champion Nanize’s PFAS‑free coatings across industries, while Savluc provides strategic guidance on AI, simulations and secure IoT. Together they are positioning Nanize to dominate the market for non‑stick coatings by 2026, offering super‑cool, high‑performance products that protect human health and the environment. Their collaboration shows how visionary leadership and technical ingenuity can replace toxic materials like Teflon and usher in a new era of sustainable manufacturing.
The collaboration between Jerry Stokes and Paul Savluc reflects a new model of industrial leadership, one that unites technical innovation with strategic foresight. Stokes, with his decades of experience in renewables and manufacturing, understands how to navigate global markets and accelerate adoption at scale. Savluc, meanwhile, brings a systems-level approach grounded in artificial intelligence, simulations, and quantum security. Together, they are reshaping how a breakthrough material like Nanize’s PFAS-free coating can move from lab to mass production, from niche adoption to global standard. By using digital twins and AI simulations, Savluc helps Nanize cut development cycles and target the right markets, while Stokes leverages his network to embed PFAS-free technology in industries as diverse as aerospace, EVs, cookware, and infrastructure. Their shared mission goes beyond business opportunity—it’s about ending the cycle of generational poisoning caused by PFAS and replacing it with a future defined by safer, smarter, and more sustainable materials. This is not just the story of replacing Teflon; it is the story of how science, business, and ethics can converge to drive lasting change.
