FirstIgnite and University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) partnered together throughout June and July to increase corporate engagement support for the lead inventor, Todd Emrick, of their reduced polymer flammability technology by creating strong partnerships and collaborations.

Organizations like Dow Chemical, Asbury Carbons, Kisuma Chemicals, and many more engaged with the UMass technology transfer team to learn about their work in incorporating monomers into polymer structures.

FirstIgnite supports technology transfer teams across the United States, helping to foster growth with industry partners.
