Description
Opportunity:
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its flowable spray dried composite nanofibers.
Background:
Advanced heat resistant coatings are essential for the energy, automotive, and aviation industries. One of the advanced materials being considered for thermal barrier coating applications is ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs), and one of the advanced processes for manufacturing UHTC involves spray drying of nanofibers into the feedstock for 3D printing UHTC. The challenge is producing feedstock that is composed of spherical agglomerates; there is a great need for enhanced powder flowability of these fibers.
Description:
LLNL researchers refined custom mixing techniques and formulations in order to avoid clumping and fiber agglomerations for a flowable tailored feedstock that produces a homogeneous, survivable thermal barrier coating. Formulation improvements coupled with unexpected nozzle coupling from Buchi spray dry components leads to the production of fiber containing spray dried feedstock that can survive thermal cycling. The fabrication method produces spray dried ceramic nanofiber composite feedstock.
Advantages/Benefits:
Value Proposition: Improved performance of large-scale fiber reinforced composites to become ultra-high temperature composites (UHTCs) Capability to spray dry difficult-to-process nanofibers to enable high temperature composite thermal barrier coatings
Potential Applications:
Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) Thermal Barrier Coatings
Development Status:
Current stage of technology development: TRL 3
