These proprietary advances are a result of extensive SRI research in polymeric materials, ceramics, inorganic synthesis, and organosilicon chemistry. Synthesis routes are more versatile with SRIs approach than with a single or a limited number of polymers made by competitors. SRI's processes can be easily modified, providing added processing flexibility. Curing techniques can also be modified to suit processing needs. Opportunity SRI's preceramic polymer technology is in various stages of progress.
Strong opportunities exist for commercial licensing and use in manufacturing.
Applications are infinite using a spectrum of possible materials and capabilities, including coatings, foams, weather resistant materials, filters, membranes, hydrophilic surfaces, coupled with a range of processes. SRI works with clients to tailor materials and processes to their specific needs.
