aerogel Coating Technologies (aCT Inc.) originated from research conducted at Arizona State University (ASU), where a team of engineers and scientists explored advanced materials for sustainable infrastructure. Led by Dr. Kamil Elias Kaloush, Dr. Jose Medina, Dr. Jolina Karam, and Dr. Carlos J. Obando, the team developed aerogel-modified bituminous materials (aMBx)—a breakthrough in pavement and infrastructure durability.
This research led to the creation of aCT Inc., an ASU spinout company dedicated to commercializing aerogel-based technologies for enhanced thermal insulation, durability, and sustainability in transportation and construction. The company’s innovations have attracted industry interest and are paving the way for next-generation infrastructure solutions.
This milestone highlights ASU’s commitment to cutting-edge research, sustainability, and technology transfer, reinforcing its role as a leader in engineering innovation.
