Nice if the process is not 'vaporware' and actually delivers as promised.

But I'm not yet convinced. Several things I find worrying, first is the absence of a technical description of the chemistry involved—one that'd instantly pique the interest of polymer chemists, second there are some unusual aspects of the Investor Presentation—web latest (PDF). Therein, is an unusually worded Preface followed by a very long two-paragraph statement in extremely fine print headed:

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FOREWORD-LOOKING INFORMATION

If I were an investor the wording of this document would concern me greatly. I'd read into it that this is a highly speculative venture, especially so given there is no real description of the chemical process(es) involved.

In short, I'd need a great deal more information before I'd be convinced that what Denovia Labs has is truly viable groundbreaking technology.

Caveat here, perhaps I've missed the chemical description of the process in all those links but why would Denovia be so secretive about its tech in its Investor Presentation and in press releases? Presumably, the process has been patented and thus protected before it began seeking investors.
