The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University today announced that its 'SLIPS' technology, a novel coating that repels almost every type of liquid and solid, will be commercialized by a newly formed private company, SLIPS Technologies, Inc. The company will provide solutions to multiple industries by creating customized, highly–repellent slippery surfaces for a broad range of applications. The announcement follows a worldwide license agreement between Harvard's Office of Technology Development (OTD) and SLIPS Technologies relating to the use of the Institute's Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) platform for non-medical applications.
