KCNSC SUPERHYDROPHOBIC TECHNOLOGY ...


The Kansas City National Security Campus is looking to nature for inspiration for their latest technological breakthrough.

Sometimes referred to as the Lotus Effect, some organisms can literally repel water with a waxy superhydrophobic material found at the nanoscale

level. The Kansas City National Security Campus, which is managed by Honeywell for the U.S. Department of Energy, has successfully applied that concept to keep sophisticated equipment and mission critical hardware clean and dry.

Water essentially beads as it reacts to the thin layer of air on the materials surface, and rolls off without absorption, creating self-cleaning properties. Throughout the world, various insects and plants such as the Lotus leaf are perfect examples of this feature and require it for survival. When applied to hardware, such as radars, the self-cleaning technology can have immense benefits by preventing corrosion and enhancing signal performance.

In 2015, the KCNSC Materials Engineering group invited industry expert Dr. John Simpson, Research Professor at the University of Tennessee and Retired Senior Research Scientist for Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), to collaborate on applications for

superhydrophobic technology.

Initially, the intent of was to incorporate the technology into a liquid system to apply to coatings. However, KCNSC took the application a step further by replacing the legacy liquid systems with a more environmentally friendly process. This innovation eliminates the need for solvents and other volatiles within the system, and its performance is superior to that of its liquid counterparts.

The most exciting thing about adopting this technology at the KCNSC was seeing how fast we turned the proof of concept idea around, said Honeywell Principal Scientist for Research and Development Dr. Jamie Messman. The team developed the powder coating, which we believe is the first of its kind, within 1-2 days.

KCNSC is continuing its effort to refine this significant breakthrough and evaluate broader applications throughout defense programs.

What do Amazon, Apple, Disney, Google and Nike all have in common? Their inventions were all started in garages. The brains behinds these businesses set-up shop in their garages to develop some of the worlds most usable products/services. With this in mind, the Kansas City National Security Campus is by far the prettiest garage on the block as we consistently have

employees developing new products and solutions every year.

In 2016, there were 76 invention disclosures filed, 15 patent application filed and seven patents that were issued by the U.S. PTO office. Our patents awarded from the Patent & Trademark Office have increased significantly over the past few years. Congrats to the following employees received a patent:

George Bohnert for Apparatus and Methods of Hydrocarbon Extraction

Daniel Bowen and Eric Eastwood for Use of Li2[B12H12] Salt to Absorb Water into Polymers

George W. Bohnert, Daniel E. Bowen III, James Lula for Carbonized Asphaltene-Based Carbon-Carbon Fiber Composites

Stephen McGarry Hatch for Dual Contact Pin Assembly

Daniel S. Krueger, James Brent Duncan, Bristen Riggs and Dave Stockdale for Monolithic LTCC Seal Frame and Lid

Stephen McGarry Hatch and Jonathan Douglas Hatch for Rapid PCB Prototyping By Selective Adhesion

Thomas Robison for Method For Phase Transfer Synthesis of Organic Peroxides

At Honeywell, our collaborative environment extends beyond our walls and into the classroom. We believe that when we listen to new ideas and respect diversity of experience, we all benefit.

Students from Kansas State University spend several hundred hours each semester helping us solve our engineering challenges. For more than 50 years, both organizations have collaborated on the mutually-beneficial Senior Design Projects. The manufacturing design problems submitted by Honeywell helps improve the quality of engineering curriculum at local

universities. The students learn the value and dynamics of working in teams as well as the importance of communicating project status and final results. They also learn that real world problems do not necessarily have one correct answer derivable from engineering formulas in textbooks.

Projects provide Honeywell with concepts and designs that have been incorporated into products and processes. The program also gives Honeywell a recruiting presence on campus that allows us to evaluate some of KSUs best students.

The University of Missouri-Kansas City has signed a master collaboration agreement with Honeywell, creating closer collaboration on research and development of new technology to meet national security needs.

UMKC is proud to partner with Honeywell, said UMKC Chancellor Leo E. Morton. The collaboration will allow us to bring UMKC and Honeywells research expertise together, which will not only benefit our students and faculty, but also our national security.

Honeywell is moving national security innovation forward with the latest in digital manufacturing technologies to maintain the safety, security and reliability of our nations nuclear weapons at the Kansas City National Security Campus. This premier engineering and advanced manufacturing enterprise with locations in Kansas City and Albuquerque, N.M. supports the U.S. Department of Energys National Nuclear Security Administration.

Education is the foundation of a skilled workforce and helps fuel innovation, said Robin Stubenhofer, vice president of engineering for Honeywell FM&T. We are pleased to extend that partnership in support of an innovative research educational environment to further support the readiness of tomorrows leaders and meet important national security needs.
