About Us
A 2007 idea is today a unique online platform featuring materials databases and materials-oriented services
MATDAT started back in 2007 as an idea and project of Robert Basan, D.Sc., a doctoral student back then and today a founder of MATDAT LLC.
As he was working on his doctoral thesis at that time, Robert has spent 12+ frustrating months preparing, organizing and performing a set of strain-life fatigue experiments as well as finding and acquiring additional data from the literature. To save other researchers their time, money and effort, Robert decided to make the material data obtained from literature research openly available through an online database.
Matdat.com was first launched in 2011 and quickly grew to 500 users by 2012. In 2013 Directory entered its pilot phase. Several key partnerships were subsequently formed and in 2017, MATDAT registered as a privately owned company located in Croatia, EU.
