- 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: The NASA Langley-developed system provides both structural support and thermal protectionattributes in a fail safe manner. This innovation incorporates the use of a PCPcomposite structure that when overheated or exposed to fire or plasma will convert to aceramic matrix composite (CMC), retaining structural integrity and still functioningeffectively. When damage causes the thermal protection system (TPS) to fail, theunderlying PCP structure converts to a CMC material that has high-temperature structuralproperties, will not catch fire or melt, and continues to perform its structuralfunction. The system can be used in a variety of vehicles and static structures, such asincorporation into a building to keep it structurally sound during a fire. Used in are-entry heat shield, it costs less to produce than current heat shield systems. Thetechnology also has applicability to engines in general aviation aircraft, turbines,automobiles, or other ground vehicles.To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to Sean Sullivan, ResearchTriangle International (RTI), at: NASA Langley Research Center, Strategic RelationshipsOffice (SRSO),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.RTI is responsible for aggregating and acknowledging all responses. These responses areprovided to members of NASA Langleys Innovative Partnerships Office within the SRO forthe purpose of promoting public awareness of our technology products, and conductingpreliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for futurelicensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, SRO willfollow the formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register as required. Nofollow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
