In nearly 40 years of existence, MMI has always placed a premium on research that can change the world of polymer chemistry, and the world itself. The past few years, though, have seen an emphasis on creating decidedly commercializable products; today, MMI is focused on win/win technology commercialization with all its contract research partners.

Today, when our scientists invent something, they not only know its purpose, but who their immediate commercialization partner will be.

Much of MMI's success depends on our inventions becoming commercial products - either licensed by somebody or purchased by somebody to become commercial products. Everything we do in the lab is aimed squarely knowing there's a future for the product - a customer with an unmet need of some kind.

Our burgeoning patent portfolio - which deals largely with the composition of matter - is important to MMI's success because the work we do at MMI is the foundation upon which many products can be built.

In addition to the technology owned by MMI itself, our staff of Ph.D. chemists and consultants have also contributed mightily to patented works at previous stops in their careers. That depth and breadth of knowledge - best evidenced in the list of additional areas of expertise found here - ensures that when you partner with MMI, you're working with the best in the polymer research business.
