99--TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUN FLEXIBLE HIGHTEMP THERMOCOUPLE SILVERELECTROPLATED FILM SHOWS VOLUME RESISTIVITY APPROACHING PURE METAL OFFERS GREATER CURRENTCARRYING CAPABILITIES AND ELEC CONDUCTIVITY

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: NASA Langley has extensively studied self-metallized polyimide films for aerospaceapplications. These thin films have shown promise not only as reflective coatings butalso conductive coatings. NASA believes that its technology may offer advantages tosensor companies, especially thermocouples as the conductive films show a volumeresistivity approaching the pure metal. Specifically, NASA offers a process for producingmetallized polymer films with thick conductive metal coatings.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.
