99--TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY - HIGH-PERFORMANCE POLYIMIDE INSULATIONTECHNOLOGIES - IMPROVED FIRE RESISTANCE FROM LOW-DENSITY FOAMS

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 Research Center has developed a family of foams based on more than 25innovative polyimide chemistries. The technology can take the form of foam ormicrospheres that can be used as additives. Langley refers to this technology, andassociated international patents, as TEEK. The strong, low-density foam can be processedinto neat or syntactic foams, foam-filled honeycomb, or other shapes, while offeringexcellent thermal and acoustic insulation and high-performance structural support. NASAhas successfully licensed this technology and continues to offer non-exclusive licenses.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.
