Materials Technologies
TDA Research has pioneered materials technologies from the very beginning. We have the capability to manufacture a number of commercial/near commercial materials for both DoD and civilian markets.
Commercial Materials
Catalysts to protect F/A-18 pilots
SSDX - 12; Dod qualified cleaning detergent
Laser-blocking dyes for eyewear
Kits to decontaminate military dogs
Corrosion inhibitors to prevent Al stress corrosion cracking in ships
Environmentally benign pesticide for crop protection
Technologies in Prototype Stage
Mesoporous, functionalized carbons derived from sugars
Next generation PEM and AEM electrolyzer catalysts for submarines
Nano Al-based enhancers for explosives and thermites
Igniters for decoy flares for aircraft
Alternative solid propellant
Conducting additive for propellants










Commercial Technologies
TDA’s successful spin-off, SulfaTrap has been selling sorbents that remove sulfur compounds to oil and gas and fuel cell customers worldwide since 2013.
TDA also has a partnership with SLB to co-develop and scale up our emerging sorbent technologies for reducing carbon capture costs across the power, cement, steel and petrochemical sectors.
Technologies in Demonstration
Fuel reformer to generate hydrogen
Hydrogen generator from Al alloys
Continuous thermochemical LFP (and LMFP) production for batteries
Solid electrolyte
Low temperature and solid-state battery materials
Next generation PEM and AEM electrolyzer catalysts
Energy Technologies
Our energy technologies range from carbon capture to reforming to make hydrogen and battery, fuel cell, and electrolyzer components. We are looking for industry leaders to bring these technologies to market.
