TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Real-Time Polymer Cure Monitoring System

The Real-Time Polymer Cure Monitoring System is a technology developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory that provides a new way to monitor how materials like epoxies, adhesives, and coatings harden and gain strength during manufacturing. This system combines two measurement techniques to track chemical changes and physical performance characteristics in real-time, enabling manufacturers to improve quality control, reduce production errors, and speed up product development. The key advantages of this system include simultaneous measurement of chemical and mechanical changes, real-time monitoring, non-destructive evaluation, and direct correlation between composition and performance. The technology has various market applications, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy, construction, and advanced manufacturing. • Simultaneous measurement of chemical and mechanical changes • Real-time monitoring during material processing • Non-destructive, in-place evaluation • Direct correlation between composition and performance • Improved process control and consistency • Applicable across a range of polymer and composite systems
