99--TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY LARC-SI- HIGH-PERFORMANCE-HIGH-TEMPERATURERESINS FOR DIELECTRIC FILMS - COATINGS - COMPOSITES - ADHESIVES AND SOLID PARTS

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: Langley Research Center (LaRC) discovered this solubleimide (SI) during an advancedaeronautics materials research program. Langley found that this high temperature materialhas surprisingly good processing properties along with good machinability, solutioncasting, compression molding, and extrusion characteristics. LaRC-SI was quicklycommercialized and has found its way into many applications, such as flexible andmultilayer circuit substrates, dielectric film, wire insulation, mechanical parts, hotmelt adhesive film, composites and fiber optic cladding. Because LaRC-SI is processed soeasily by so many standard methods, the variety of applications that have not yet beenexplored far exceed those that have.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: [email protected], 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.
