SBA Materials’ proprietary chemistry is well positioned to enable significant advances in a number of strategic growth areas. These include, but are not limited to:
• functional surfaces and coatings
• electronic, optical and optoelectronic materials
• catalysis, adsorption and separation

Advantages and Benefits:
Process:
• Self-assembled materials
• Solution-based (sol-gel) chemistry
• Various morphologies available (powders, films, fiber etc.)
• Does not require specialized equipment or conditions
• Scalable manufacturability
Diversity:
• A wide range of inorganic, organic-inorganic precursors available
• Large selection of structure directing agents available
• Chemical diversity, morphological diversity, structural diversity available

Control:
• All characteristics of the process, structure and morphology, and chemical diversity have been reduced to practice and are controllable: pore size, connectivity and content of the pores, surface area, wall chemistry, thickness, structure and composition, and morphology.
