    TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Plasma Deposition of Metal in Composite Panels (LAR-TOPS-99)
    Active
    National Aeronautics And Space Administration
    Special Notice: NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION is seeking inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a technology related to Plasma Deposition of Metal in Composite Panels. This technology, developed by NASA's Langley Research Center, allows for the preparation of metal/composite hybrid laminates by depositing metal directly onto fabric using a plasma deposition process. These laminates, also known as fiber metal laminates (FML), offer a combination of structural and functional properties suitable for both aerospace and non-aerospace applications. The process involves depositing metal particles onto the fabric via plasma deposition, resulting in a porous metal-coated fabric that allows for resin infusion. The amount of metal deposited and the number of fabric layers can be controlled to meet specific design requirements. Various infusion processes, such as resin transfer molding (RTM) and vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM), can be utilized to prepare the FML.
