Smart Materials Limited

Smart Materials Ltd is a new, R&D company, developing a novel production method (Patent Pending) to produce a revolutionary type of polyurethane foam (with auxetic properties). Polyurethane foam is one of the most widespread, modern day materials. It is used in practically every application when cushioning, impact reduction, filtering, sound absorption, vibration absorption is needed. It has also seen more uptake in recent years since there is an industrial and social drive towards light weighting and space reduction solutions. Auxetic Foam is a revolutionary foam which was discovered around 30 years ago but due to technical hurdles it has never been produced in volumes large enough to be applicable for industry or commercially viable. Auxetic foam has been shown numerous times to be able to combine a large number of beneficial properties in one material, including Improved; impact reduction, weight distribution, sound absorption and filtration efficiency. Smart Materials Ltd. has a method which can be scaled to provide the volumes required to produce Auxetic foam at the cost of normal foam while having far superior properties Smart Materials Ltd aims to use its new production method to disrupt a dormant and incumbent $50B Market. It is early days for the company but there is significant growth potential. If you think you have that awesome spark and willing to take this journey with us, get in touch!
