Adaptive Surface Technologies
Adaptive Surface Technologies is a Specialty Polymers, Coatings & Surfaces company founded in 2014 and based in Hopkinton, USA. It has raised $12.4M in total funding, most recently an Undisclosed in 2022.
Spun out of Harvard's Wyss Institute in 2014 as SLIPS Technologies and later relocated to Hopkinton, Massachusetts, Adaptive Surface Technologies commercializes Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS), a coating chemistry inspired by the carnivorous pitcher plant. The coatings present a smooth, non-stick liquid interface that repels fluids, sticky residues, and biological fouling more durably than superhydrophobic surfaces. Co-founded on technology from Harvard professor Joanna Aizenberg and Dr. Philseok Kim, the company licenses and supplies its coatings for industrial, marine, and consumer applications.
Commercializes a Harvard-derived liquid-infused surface chemistry with broad anti-fouling and anti-stick applications.
