Description
NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits interest 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.
THE TECHNOLOGY:
NASA Langley has developed a new non-destructive method for characterizing nanomaterials. Based on modified atomic force ultrasonic microscopy (AFUM) methods, the technology allows imaging and quantifying of material properties at the surface and subsurface levels. NASA developed the technology to reveal the orientation of nanotubes within a composite structure. The technology offers the ability to determine subsurface characteristics without destroying the nanomaterial structure. The method is widely applicable for basic nanomaterials characterization, including distribution and orientation of particles in a nanocomposite, localized elastic constants and changes in elastic constants, adhesive surface properties, sound velocity, and material damping coefficient.
For all inquiries, please reference LAR-17440-1
