Angelo Yializis (Ulysses) is the founder and CEO of PolyCharge which is a recent spinoff of Sigma Technologies Int'l of Tucson AZ (which Dr. Yializis is also the founder and CEO). In the early-80s, while working at GE, Dr. Yializis developed a series of new capacitor products, including the Polymer Monolithic Capacitor (PMC) technology, which
is the only commercial capacitor technology comprising 1000s on nano-thick polymer dielectric layers. The PMC technology was spun out from GE and Sigma Technologies, founded in 1992, completed the technology development and licensed the technology to two multinational capacitor OEMs for use in surface mount consumer electronic capacitor applications. Sigma has also commercialized several pioneering non-capacitor related technologies, including materials for thermal management of commercial and residential structures, ultra-high barrier coatings for packaging films and OLED displays, surface functionalization technologies for treating films and textiles, nanoflake metal pigments for use on inks and paints, color shifting pigments and films for security applications and the development of PMCs for higher voltage DC-link inverter applications. Dr. Yializis received his B.Sc. in Applied Physics, at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, a M.Sc. in Solid State Physics at the University of Windsor and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Windsor. He is the recipient of several technical and managerial awards. He has 50 US patents and more than 50 journal and conference publications.
