- 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. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Scientists at NASA Langley Research Center have developed a family of imide materials that exhibit glass transition temperatures from 240C to 340C. Two resins from this family, designated as PETI-RTM and PETI-RI, were originally developed to meet the demanding requirements for future high-speed aircraft. These materials allow the manufacture of complex composite parts with excellent mechanical properties, including high toughness and long-term thermal oxidative stability. These resins have been engineered to exhibit low process viscosities to enable parts fabrication via resin transfer molding (RTM) and resin infusion (RI). Composites fabricated using these resins provide mechanical properties comparable to bismaleimide-based composites while exhibiting superior temperature performance. Low-weight composites based upon these PETI resins could replace some titanium and aluminum alloy parts currently used in aerospace structures and engines. As manufacturing technologies, RTM and RI offer lower cost, better dimensional stability, and other improved features over the use of traditional prepreg processes. NASA is seeking to license this technology commercially. US Patent 6,359,107. 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 Langley’s 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.
