ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Developed matrix resin system
by combining reactive diluents with the NASA developed AMB-21 polyimide
resin
- Lowered the viscosity of the
base resin significantly, decreased the amount of volatile by-products
during cure, and increased cured Tg of AMB-21
- Successfully fabricated demonstration
composite cylinders by RTM
|
COMMERCIALIZATION
- Estimated market for RTM processable
PMR-15 substitute is $20-40 M/year
- Formed Pyrogonn l.l.c. for commercialization
of this and related technologies
- Sample materials provided to
McDonnell-Douglas, Dow-UT NASA, and GE Engines, for testing and
evaluation
|
GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE
APPLICATIONS
- This resin system could replace
PMR-15 as a high temperature organic matrix for carbon reinforced
composites in aerospace propulsion systems and other high temperature
structural applications where cost effective fabrication to near
net-shape via RTM is desirable
