A NASA invention available to explore as a licensing opportunity.
About this technology
Overview
Researchers at NASA’s Glenn Research Center have developed a two-pot, dual-solvent system to overcome long-standing manufacturing challenges associated with 3D printed aerogels. These ultralight, porous materials are known for their exceptional thermal, acoustic, and vibration insulation properties. The new approach enables the creation of complex, finely detailed aerogel structures using additive manufacturing, expanding their potential applications across aerospace, automotive, construction, and electronics industries.
