Boston Materials is a materials science company working on development of next generation of composites with higher performance and functionality. From lighter aircraft and stronger wind turbine blades to extended range EVs and safer bicycles, the firm develops the materials that take the next generation of applications from concept to reality. A Northeastern University (Boston) spin-out, the firm is anchored in the breakthrough work done at Northeastern's DAPS laboratory. In 2017, it joined the KRI group with Northeastern University and the Department of Homeland Security and opened its first R&D center and wet lab space. Boston Materials has continued to expand the team and production capabilities in its quest to bring the next dimension of performance to the carbon fiber industry. A high-performance materials company enabling manufacturers of industrial and consumer products to break through their design trade-offs with new materials, the companys patented Z-axis Fiber technology is a lightweight material that has an important ability to diffuse energy (structural, thermal or electrical). It is produced from 100% reclaimed carbon fiber, enabling new, high-volume, energy-efficient products that have a low carbon footprint. By turning a $2B per year waste stream into high-value, advanced materials, Boston Materials is potentially enabling the next generation of products and unlocking a circular economy
