About the Company

Boston Materials

Manufactures liquid-metal thermal interface materials

Boston Materials develops advanced energy-transfer composites for high-performance electronics, aerospace, and electrified mobility. Its flagship Liquid Metal ZRT® combines vertically oriented carbon fibers with a liquid metal matrix to form a thermal interface that boosts cooling and is designed as a drop-in preform for automated assembly. The same Z-axis fiber approach is used for interlaminar reinforcement to prevent delamination, and the company is exploring lightweight bipolar plates for hydrogen fuel cells, produced via roll-to-roll processing with reclaimed carbon fiber. The goal is to scale production to meet industrial demand across semiconductors, aerospace, and electrified-vehicle markets while expanding adoption and advancing sustainability through recycled carbon fiber use.
