Santa Barbara Amorphous-15

Typical SBA-15 powder sample

SBA-15, an acronym for Santa Barbara Amorphous-15, is a silica-based ordered mesoporous material that was first synthesized by researchers at the university of California Santa Barbra in 1998.[1] This material proved important for scientists in various fields such as material sciences,[2] drug delivery,[3] catalysis,[4] fuel cells[5] and many other due to its desirable properties and ease of production.
