## Materials informatics for polymer & composites R&D

Materials informatics is the use of data, machine learning and AI to decide what to make and test next in materials research.

ReUse Labs builds AI co-scientists for polymer, composites and recycled-plastics R&D. Its product, R+D Studio, runs evidence-first materials research on dedicated hardware behind the customer's firewall.

### What's known is scattered

Three questions every materials program runs on. Today the answers live in people's memories, old notebooks, and retests nobody wanted.

Materials R&D moves faster when your team can find what's known, trust the evidence, and act with confidence—without repeating dead ends.

### Three questions an AI co-scientist answers

#### What's been tried — and what's comparable?

Search internal experiments and public research with click-through, source-linked evidence — so you don't repeat work.

#### What should we test next?

Rank next-best experiments by expected payoff and spec likelihood under constraints — cost, time, materials.

#### Will this plan pass spec?

Forecast spec-to-pass risk early, surface failure modes, and keep an audit-ready trail tied to standards + evidence.

### Always evidence first

Your results, tracing the published science "why" behind every research call.

- Capture negative results so failures become reusable knowledge, not lost cost.
- Unify team learning across people, projects, and sites—one shared source of truth.
- Cut through biased literature with source-linked evidence and clear provenance.
- Replace guesswork with decision support: ranked next-best experiments under cost + spec constraints.

### Behind your firewall

IP-safe by default. Dedicated hardware inside your facilities.

### Built for your lab, not for the demo.

Most AI-for-science tools stop at a bespoke demo: impressive on curated data, stalled when they meet a real lab's notebooks, spec sheets, and failed batches.

R+D Studio starts from your own experiments, failures included, and ties every recommendation to source-linked evidence and the spec you have to pass. The output is a ranked next experiment you can run this week, with an audit trail you can defend.

### Who it's for

#### Materials startups

Every experiment is runway. See what's been tried, rank what to test next, and spot spec risk before you pay for samples.

#### Academic labs

Turn the literature and your group's past results into testable hypotheses, with every claim linked to its source.

### The result

Shorter R&D cycles, fewer redundant experiments, & fewer late-stage certification surprises.
