    Description

    Special Notice: NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION is seeking inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a technology for the synthesis and development of polyurethane coatings containing fluorine groups for adhesive applications. These coatings have been developed to mitigate the accumulation of insect strikes on airplane wings, which can cause decreased lift, increased drag, and decreased fuel efficiency. The coatings have demonstrated hydrophobicity and a significant reduction in contaminant adhesion, making them suitable for aerospace applications, wind turbine systems, and the automotive industry. Interested parties can submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS). For more information, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal. No follow-on procurement is expected from this notice.
