TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: High Temperature Resins (LAR-TOPS-239)

NASA's Technology Transfer Program 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: NASA Langley Research Center has 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. To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/apply/license/LAR-TOPS-239 If you have any questions, please contact Langley Research Center at [email protected] with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA's Technology Transfer Program 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. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice .
