- Description
- The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has developed a method of using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to characterize the quality of concrete. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques developed at the INL allow for monitoring of the cement curing process, as well as monitoring of the long-term performance of cement structures. The process provides a simple, non-destructive, and inexpensive method to determine the relative permeability, stability, and durability of cementatious systems. In addition to providing a valuable technique for the construction industry, this work could also facilitate the implementation of jet grouting and other in situ grouting techniques for waste remediation. The INL is soliciting interest from qualified industrial firms interested in participating in projects and commercializing this technology. It is anticipated that commercialization will be carried out by licensing this technology to a company. Additional development and support from lead INL researchers may be possible through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, with some or all of the funding support being provided by the participant(s). The INL is patenting this technology. The INL invites interested parties to contact us regarding the details of licensing and implementing this technology into an operation. Interested parties should respond on or before August 30th, 2005. For questions regarding the technology, licensing, and working with the INL, please contact Jason Stolworthy: BUSINESS POINT OF CONTACT: Jason C. Stolworthy, J.D., M.S. (ChE) Telephone: 208-526-5976 E-Mail: Jason.Stolworthy@inl.gov
