 AmberWave Systems has entered into an in-licensing agreement with the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to collaborate on, and fund, materials science research within the field of mesoporous materials. A mesoporous material normally contains pores with diameters between 2 and 50nm, which include some kinds of silica and alumina as well as oxides of niobium, tantalum, titanium, zirconium, cerium and tin.
“We are pleased to formally bring UCSB and mesoporous materials into the AmberWave family of strong university partnerships to develop pioneering technologies with broad market applications,” said Richie Faubert, President, CEO and Chairman of AmberWave Systems. “Early identification, in-licensing, and development of materials innovations are key to our growth strategy. The University of California, along with the faculty and staff at the Santa Barbara campus are delivering an outstanding platform that gives AmberWave a springboard into a broad range of markets.” AmberWave is planning to develop mesoporous and mesostructured materials for electrical generation and storage in the form of fuel cells, high-performance batteries and ultracapacitors.
