Partnership OpportunityShape Memory Alloys
• Provides high force (per volume/weight) allowing lightweight compact actuator designs
• Response to temperature change eliminates the need for sensors and electronics
• Simple frictionless designs result in less maintenance• Ideal for high force, large stroke, and modest frequency
response operations
Benefits
Applications
• Actuators; heat detection devices; medical devices; oil/gas down-hole; high-temp automotive; aero & military

Partnership OpportunityRTM-370 Polyimide
• Clean and green technology: Solvent-free melt process produces zero emissions• Improved safety: Eliminates hazardous organic solvents• Easy to adopt: Compatible with advanced manufacturing techniques• Long shelf life: Resins do not deteriorate over time at ambient temperatures• Lightweight: Provides up to 20 percent in weight savings over metallic components• Suitable for high-temperature applications: Performs above 3000 C
Benefits
Applications• Injection molding of wire and structures; airframe and engine components; composite
ducts and tubes; high-temp adhesives

Partnership OpportunityAtomic Oxygen
• Atomic oxygen surface texturing of polymeric surgical implants provides for improved cell attachment sites
• Improved tissue attachment promotes recovery, functionality and durability
• Atomic oxygen is highly effective in eliminating endotoxins and other biological contaminates from implant surfaces to reduce the potential for inflammatory response
• Surgical implants; cell culturing; improved bonding for coatings; restoration/cleaning of delicate surfaces,
