Every step of developing a material
AI-accelerated at the front, and grounded in real characterization data at every step — all developed in one lab.
Custom synthesis
Small molecules, polymers, and functional compounds, made to a performance target.
Formulation
Inks, coatings, dispersions, and composites, tuned to your process.
Characterization
Structure, composition, and performance, measured in our own analytical lab.
Prototyping & application testing
Early physical builds, then testing in the real use case — durability, wash, wear, and load.
Scale-readiness
A repeatable process and the specification to take it from grams toward production.
How we develop a material
Five stages, run as one program. Start with a performance requirement, and the material follows.
- 01Define
The performance target, the constraints, and where the material has to work.
- 02Develop
Synthesize and formulate candidate materials against the target — AI-guided screening picks the best candidates to try first.
- 03Characterize
Measure structure, composition, and performance on the actual material.
- 04Test in application
Prove the material in the real use case and operating conditions.
- 05Ready to scale
The material, its process, and its specification are packaged for transfer to scale-up.
Material platforms
Developed and characterized in-house. Explore each platform, or the full materials library.
01 — 04
Conductive polymerPEDOT:PSS
An organic conductor at 50–500 Ω/sq, cured under 130 °C, up to 90% transparent at 100 nm — as films, coatings, inks, and fiber treatments.
Functional yarnsConductive Yarns
Silver and carbon conductive yarns that route power and biosignal through knitted textiles, characterized across 50 wash cycles.
Engineered particlesEngineered Polymer Particles
Polymer particles tuned to a target size, morphology, and surface for a process — for example, TPU70 SLS powder at 20–100 µm.
In developmentEnergy Harvesting
A piezoelectric platform in development — converting movement, pressure, and vibration into stored electrical energy for self-powered devices.
Sectors we develop for
The materials work is sector-agnostic — the same R&D serves any industry that needs a material built to spec.

Quality & compliance
Materials are developed within Myant's certified management systems; product-specific regulatory records are maintained per program.

Materials that leave the lab
Plenty of promising materials never leave the lab. Ours are measured, made repeatable, and ready for production.
Any material, any sector
Conductive systems, engineered particles, functional yarns, coatings — the work is sector-agnostic, serving any industry, textiles among them.
Characterized on our own instruments
Materials are characterized on our own instruments — GC-MS, SEM, FTIR, and more — so the data is generated on your material and travels with it.
Faster to a working material
AI-guided screening narrows the field early, and a pilot line on the same campus keeps a promising material from stalling between R&D and production.
Frequently asked questions
Not seeing your question? Talk to the team that would run your program.
Discuss a projectCan you develop a material for a non-textile application?
Yes — much of our work is non-textile: conductors, particles, coatings, and composites for automotive, healthcare, energy, and industrial programs.
Can you improve an existing material instead of starting over?
Often. We can modify or adapt an existing material or formulation to hit a new target, which is usually faster and lower-risk than developing one from scratch.
How do you prove a new material works?
Two ways: characterization measures what it is; application testing proves it holds up under real operating conditions — durability, wash, wear, and load. Both run on your specific material and formulation.
How do AI and self-driving labs fit in?
AI models and self-driving lab automation screen candidates and run experiments in parallel, so a large search space shrinks fast. You reach a working material with less wasted effort; the bench and the evidence still decide it.
How do engagements work?
Programs are scoped to what you need — a single problem or a full effort — with no long-term contract to begin. Background IP, new IP, licensing, data, and rights are all defined in the agreement, never assumed.
