About
Matmerize is redefining materials R&D through its AI-driven polymer informatics platform, PolymRize™. Designed for industrial chemists, materials scientists, and R&D engineers, Matmerize dramatically accelerates the development of polymers and formulations by leveraging machine learning and polymer informatics to replace slow, costly trial-and-error experimentation. The platform offers more than 80 pre-trained AI models capable of predicting polymer and formulation properties across a wide range of chemistries and processing conditions. Users can also build custom models trained on their own proprietary data, ensuring highly relevant and confidential predictions tailored to their specific R&D workflows. Virtual polymer synthesis tools allow researchers to intelligently design and generate novel polymer structures, while formulation design capabilities enable optimization for both performance and process efficiency. The built-in conversational AI, ASKPOLY, allows users to interact with the platform using natural language for guided, intelligent exploration of materials design space. Matmerize is built with enterprise-grade security in mind—fully encrypted and SOC 2 compliant—making it suitable for organizations handling sensitive intellectual property. Real-world applications span sustainable PET alternatives, PHA biopolymers, fuel cell and battery materials, polymer dielectrics, and more. Whether accelerating innovation in plastics, composites, or specialty formulations, Matmerize provides a powerful, no-code digital assistant for the modern materials innovator.
