- Description
- NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits interest from companiesinterested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market thefollowing technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basisand may include specific fields of use. THE TECHNOLOGY: NASA Langley has created a modified electrospinning apparatus for spinning highly alignedpolymer fibers. Fiber placement, orientation, and porosity are difficult to control usingconventional electrospinning apparatus. Conventional electrospinning creates randomlyoriented fibers that are well suited to nonwoven mats, but not to other applications.Now, NASA Langley has developed the capability to control the alignment and porosity offibers for mats, which will broaden the range of engineering applications of electrospunmaterials to include new tissue engineering scaffolds, membrane filters, textiles, andembedded sensors and actuators. The new apparatus provides a simple and inexpensive meansof producing fibers and mats of controlled fiber diameter, porosity, and thickness.For all inquiries, please reference LAR-17477-1To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to Sean Sullivan at: NASA LangleyResearch Center, 17 West Taylor St., Mail Stop 218, Building 1212, Room 110 Hampton,Virginia, E-mail: Sean.D.Sullivan@NASA.gov, or phone: 757-864-5055. Please indicate thedate and title of the FBO notice and include your company and contact information.Contracting Office Address: NASA Langley Research Center17 West Taylor Street, Mail Stop 218Building 1212, Room 110Hampton, VA 23689-2199Primary Point of Contact: Sean SullivanNASA Langley Research CenterSean.D.Sullivan@NASA.govPhone: 757-864-5055
