Materic’s newly combined capabilities include nanofiber electrospinning, nanoparticle separation, textile treatments, 3D printing materials, specialty inks and encapsulation
May 11, 2021, Baltimore, MD – DiPole Materials, an electrospinning company that manufacturers piezoelectric yarns, tissue engineering scaffolds and specialty filters plus custom manufacturing to customers needs, today announced it has joined with five other advanced materials companies to create Materic, LLC.
“DiPole Materials and the other companies shared a common co-founder in Early Charm, so there was already a strong relationship between the companies,” said Scott Gaboury, COO with DiPole Materials. “By coming together under Materic, we now have sales into the aerospace, healthcare, biotechnology, electronics, automotive, athletic, energy and military industries, giving us contacts into each of the key sectors for advanced materials. We’re well-positioned for the commercialization of the platform intellectual property held by each of the six companies.”
Materic’s Baltimore-based scientists, engineers and designers are integrated into all customer collaboration phases – from ideation to prototyping to manufacturing – to turn advanced materials concepts into scalable products.
Materic’s other subsidiaries include:
Abri Science – enabling enzymes and catalysts to work in harsh environments through microencapsulation.
DiPole Materials – electrospinning nanofibers including piezoelectrics for smart garments, scaffolds for tissue engineering and a wide range of custom products for industrial uses.
NanoDirect – high efficiency separation technologies for nanoparticles and the Direct Silver line of silver nanowires and specialty inks for the electronics and energy industries.
Ortuvo – 3D printing technology for tissue engineering and custom bio-inks for the healthcare and biotech industries.
Synteris – 3D printing technology for ceramics in the aerospace, healthcare and automotive industries.
Materic applies their work at dedicated production and development facilities at Baltimore’s innovation hub, the 1100 Wicomico Building.
