TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Self-Cleaning Seals (Electrodynamic Dust Shield Technology) (KSC-TOPS-101)

NASA's Technology Transfer Program is seeking companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market self-cleaning seals (electrodynamic dust shield technology). The technology was developed by researchers in the Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to address the challenges posed by dusty environments, such as those on the Moon and Mars, to seals used in space applications. The self-cleaning seals can be used in various applications, including space exploration, mining, and material handling. • The technology is available for licensing on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis. • License rights may include specific fields of use. • NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. • Companies interested in obtaining license rights must submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS).
