Capabilities
Although Dr. Zeigler carries out all his consulting on a strictly
confidential basis to protect the competitive and/or litigation position of his clients, here are
just a few examples of general areas in which he has provided scientific and litigation consulting:
-
 Construction Vibration Damage - Dr. Zeigler has been involved for 14
years as a scientific consultant in the construction vibration damage field, with homeowners, other consulting firms, attorneys, academics, contractors and project sponsors around the world. Some of his knowledge in this area is
embodied in his 120+ page Construction Vibration Damage Guide for
Homeowners, available free for personal use from his dedicated site at
https://vibrationdamage.com. For
those who need more help, he can provide extensive knowledge
and experience through paid consulting and/or his 300+ page Construction Vibration Damage Guide Professional Edition. You can find a brief overview of vibration damage on our Vibration
Damage page and information about our research efforts in this area from our
Vibration Research page.

- Other Consulting Fields
-
-
- Implantable medical devices
- Dr. Zeigler's expertise in silicon-based polymers led to a long involvement in medical device consulting, both in scientific and litigation contexts. Such work included essentially the full range of implants in which silicones
are used.
-
Microelectronics and graphics arts imaging materials
- Use of high-resolution, self-developing polysilane materials (U.S.
composition of matter and application patents for Dr. Zeigler) as
photo-patternable, reactive-ion etch resistant, photoresists. In each
case, we provided materials expertise, application advice, and suggestions
of areas for further patentable extensions of the technologies, which led to
several patents for the client.
- Silicon-based polymers
- Dr. Zeigler has provided application, processing, and marketing data for
several Fortune 500 companies interested in marketing his patented materials.
