AI Contract Overview

NASA Langley Research Center is seeking companies interested in acquiring license rights to commercialize a novel fail-safe composite technology designed for high-temperature environments. This technology uses a PCP composite structure that transforms into a ceramic matrix composite when exposed to extreme heat, fire, or plasma, preserving its structural integrity and thermal protection even when damaged. This dual-function system can be applied across various uses, including aerospace re-entry heat shields, engines in general aviation aircraft, turbines, automobiles, and even buildings requiring fire-resistant structural support. The innovative material offers cost advantages over current heat shield systems and ensures continued structural performance under failure conditions. Interested parties are invited to express their interest through Sean Sullivan at Research Triangle International, who is coordinating responses on behalf of NASA Langley’s Strategic Relationships Office. Responses will assist NASA in assessing market potential and public interest for future licensing. This solicitation does not anticipate any follow-on procurement but aims to facilitate potential licensing under exclusive or nonexclusive terms with possible field-of-use restrictions. The opportunity was posted in February 2012 under Solicitation Number TTO0959, with further information provided by NASA to ensure transparent and competitive technology transfer.

Full 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: contact@example.gov, or phone: +1 (555) 000-0000. 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.
