About this award

Material Answers, LLC has been awarded a $149,880 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract by a civilian federal agency to develop polybenzoxazine aerogels for insulation applications in high-oxygen environments, specifically at 38% oxygen levels. The firm fixed price definitive contract was awarded on September 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 27, 2026. This award is designated as a total small business set-aside under the SBIR Program, which supports small businesses in conducting federally funded research and development with commercial potential. Material Answers will perform the work at its facility in Weston, Massachusetts.

The SBIR Phase I action represents an exploratory research effort to determine the feasibility and potential of the polybenzoxazine aerogel technology for thermal insulation in specialized oxygen-rich environments. Such aerogels are advanced lightweight materials with low thermal conductivity, making them candidates for aerospace, industrial, and other applications requiring enhanced insulation properties in challenging conditions. Successful Phase I completion may position Material Answers for potential Phase II development funding to further refine and commercialize the technology.
