AI Contract Overview

NASA Langley Research Center is offering license rights for a patented technology involving the synthesis of carbon nanotube/silica nanocomposites through a templating method that allows precise control over carbon nanotube diameter. The process utilizes mesoporous silica or alumina templates for aligned growth, where sucrose is deposited into each pore and heated to produce single-wall carbon nanotubes embedded within the silica. These tubes can then be isolated by removing the silica template. The technology is protected under U.S. patent 7,169,374 and is available for licensing on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, potentially with restrictions to specific fields of use. Companies interested in commercializing, manufacturing, or marketing this technology are invited to express their interest via email, providing their contact details, nature of interest, and company background. This solicitation aims to gauge market interest and promote awareness of NASA-developed technology, with any formal licensing processes to follow if sufficient interest is shown. The opportunity does not anticipate any subsequent procurement, emphasizing that this is a technology transfer initiative rather than a direct contract award. Additional information about licensing NASA technologies is accessible through NASA’s Technology Transfer Portal.

Full 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 NASA Langley has developed a process for the synthesis of carbon nanotube/silica nanocomposites via a templating method in order to control the carbon nanotube diameter. A mesoporous silica or alumina supports are used as a template for the aligned growth of the carbon nanotubes. Sucrose is deposited in each pore of the template. Upon the application of heat, the single-wall carbon nanotubes grow from the carbon in the sucrose precursor to produce carbon nanotubes of the desired diameter embedded in the silica template. Removing the silica template can isolate the carbon nanotubes. The technology is covered under U.S. patent 7,169,374. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to contact@example.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.
