- Description
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle Memorial Institute under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. PNNL may also be available to licensee(s) to assist in further research and development of the technology under a sponsored research agreement or CRADA program. THE TECHNOLOGY: Controlling Foaming in Hydrogen Release from Boranes (Battelle IPID 15911). Methyl cellulose, siloxane polymers, and sorbitol have been found to suppress and effectively control foaming during hydrogen release from boranes and borohydrides. The agents are effective when used from approximately 10 wt % to 30 wt %. Solid formulations are readily made from THF solutions of the foam suppression agent and the borohydride. The foaming agent does not change the borohydride or affect its hydrogen release. See US Patent Appl Publication No. 2009/0302269. For all inquiries, please reference IPID 15911. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by e-mail) no later than thirty (30) days from the publication date of this Notice summarizing the company's business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Companies deemed appropriate will be provided with further information on the technology. Such information may require an executed Nondisclosure Agreement. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a commercial license will be required to submit a business plan for the commercialization of the technology prior to licensee(s) selection and negotiations. Please send letters of interest to the attention of the POC identified within this Notice, referencing IPID 15911.
