Collaboration & Outreach

Our success in delivering innovative products to our customers is the result of our global network of collaborators.

In addition to our own teams working in our technology centers around the globe, we are constantly in contact with individuals and institutions beyond our organization. We maintain diverse engagements with colleges, universities, start-up companies, industry peers and government entities around the world, and are always looking for ways we can open our labs to the greater scientific and commercial community.

Our outreach takes many forms as we continue to develop an active community of collaboration within our industry. Inside Cabot, our collegial atmosphere inspires a strong culture of collaboration across our global employee population, including teams within marketing, sales and manufacturing—as well as research and development.

Technical Collaborations

Technical Collaborations

We are involved in technical collaborations that span academia, industry and government. These interactions can be as simple as sharing ideas or evaluating sample materials (in both directions). 

+ More

In parallel, we are involved in a number of strategic, multi-faceted partnerships aimed at addressing significant customer needs, such as:

  • University relationships. We are a regular business host for Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) graduate students in the David H. Koch School of Chemical Engineering Practice, also referred to as “practice school,” a key element of their Ph.D. and Master of Science degree programs.
  • Joint development. Aerogel has thrived through co-development, as evident with our collaboration with Tnemec to offer thermal insulation coating solutions in industrial and oil and gas applications.
  • Licensing. We entered an intellectual property licensing agreement with XG Sciences, officially adding graphene technology to our portfolio.
