We are proud to work with University of Malta and their Metamaterials team in bringing auxetic foam to the market.
Smart Materials Limited has just licenced a technology that was co-developed with the University of Malta👏 This groundbreaking technology not only represents innovation but also serves as a long-awaited solution to industry challenges. 🔬 Tackling Industry Pain Points: A team of scientists led by Ruben Gatt collaborated to develop a game-changing solution to a pressing industry problem. By harnessing the power of Auxetics, PU foams, and chemistry, they unlocked a scalable method for producing auxetic polyurethane foam. This revolutionary approach, employing a one-pot foaming technique, addresses key pain points in the industry, offering enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness without compromising on quality. 💡 Meeting the Demand: Auxetic materials, with their unique properties of expanding when stretched and contracting when compressed, not only offer a solution but also open doors to new possibilities. With increased shear stiffness, fracture toughness, and improved shock absorption, this innovation meets the demands of the industry head-on.
