NASA’s Technology Transfer Program 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. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Innovators at NASA's Glenn Research Center have developed a Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) imide resin known as RTM370 that is generated using a revolutionary, solvent-free process. Its many desirable properties earned it a prestigious R&D 100 Award in 2017. RTM370 has a high glass transition temperature (Tg = 370°C), low-melt viscosity (20 to 30 poise), and long shelf life (up to 2 hours). It can perform at temperatures exceeding 300°C. It melts at 260 to 280°C and can be cured at 340 to 370°C without releasing any harmful or volatile compounds. It is suitable for composite fabrication by injection molding, RTM, resin film infusion (RFI), or vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM). Furthermore, carbon fiber filled RTM370 is adaptable to additive manufacturing and can be printed into composite parts by laser sintering - a major breakthrough in high-temperature composite fabrication. These cutting-edge carbon fiber composites can replace any metallic part, providing high-quality, lightweight materials to a variety of industries at low-cost. To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/LEW-TOPS-115 If you have any questions, please e-mail NASA’s Technology Transfer Program at Agency-Patent-Licensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this beta.SAM.gov notice and your preferred contact information. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA’s Technology Transfer Program 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. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
