AI Contract Overview

NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, is inviting companies to express interest in licensing a cutting-edge technology for the commercialization, manufacture, and marketing of metal/composite hybrid laminates, also known as fiber metal laminates (FML). This innovative process involves the direct deposition of metal onto fabric using plasma deposition, enhancing traditional FML production methods that typically rely on sandwiching metal foils between fiber prepregs through pressing or autoclaving. The new technique allows metal to be deposited directly onto fibers while maintaining fabric porosity, which facilitates subsequent resin infusion. This method yields composites with improved structural and functional properties, making it suitable for both aerospace and non-aerospace applications. Interested parties may obtain exclusive or nonexclusive licensing rights, including rights tailored to specific fields of use. To express interest, companies should contact Sean Sullivan at Research Triangle International on behalf of NASA Langley’s Strategic Relationships Office, providing relevant company details and referencing the notice date and title. Responses will be collected and reviewed for market viability and public interest in possible licensing, but no direct procurement is anticipated from this solicitation. If licensing interest is confirmed, NASA will initiate a formal licensing process aligned with federal regulations.

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: A new technique developed by NASA enables the preparation of metal/composite hybridlaminates, also known as fiber metal laminates (FML), by depositing metal directly ontofabric using a plasma deposition process. FMLs provide a useful combination of structuraland functional properties for both aerospace and non-aerospace applications. Currently,FMLs are prepared in a compression process utilizing a press or autoclave with metalliclayers (foils) sandwiched between layers of glass or graphite prepreg (preimpregnatedfibers with a matrix resin). The NASA process deposits the metal on the fiber via plasmadeposition. Theporosity of the coated fabric allows for resin infusion.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.
