- Description
- NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits inquiries 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. THE TECHNOLOGY: Scientists at NASA Langley Research Center have developed polyimide foam technologies to meet an aerospace industry demand for high-performance structural foam with increased stiffness, light weight, and a large useful temperature regime -253C to 232C. The process for this foam begins with a monomeric solution with salt-like properties to yield a homogenous polyimide precursor solid residuum. The resulting precursor can be processed into polyimide neat or syntactic foams, microspheres, and filled structures like honeycomb. Each form enables production of useful articles through normal foaming techniques. Foam production is based on reacting a derivative of a dianhydride (e.g., ODPA, BTDA, PMDA) with a diamine (e.g., ODA, PDA, DDS). Foams can be fabricated to densities from 0.008 g/cc to 0.32 g/cc. Microspheres can be produced with diameters ranging from 1001,500 microns. These microspheres can be used for foam-in-place applications or as additives to make less expensive materials more fire resistant. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to LaRC-PatentLicensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information. Please also provide the nature of your interest in the technology along with a brief background of your company. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at http://technology.nasa.gov/. These responses are provided to members of NASA Langleys Office of Strategic Analysis and Business Development (OSACB) for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, OSACB will follow the required formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
