- 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 commercialize its spatio-temporal monitoring process of photopolymerization processes. Background:� Vat polymerization is one of the most popular 3D printing processes. �The lack of real-time tools to monitor the progress of stereolithography during printing and post-printing has been a challenge for increasing 3D printing reliability. �To overcome this challenge, LLNL researchers developed a monitoring method that uses a unique photo-physical phenomenon called Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE), which enables fluorophores to increase its fluorescence upon aggregation in solution. Description: � Three important aspects of this invention are: (1) the formulation of a photocurable resin containing a fluorophore that exhibits AIE behavior; (2) the method of in-situ and real-time characterization for monitoring the reaction kinetics during the photopolymerization and UV-curing process; and (3) the application of a new 3D steganographic ink for 3D encrypted structure. Advantages/Benefits: �� ��� �Value Proposition: �Real-time monitoring and characterization of photopolymerization processes. ��� �Adaptable to material extrusion 3D printing ��� �Since fluorescence can be detected only by fluorescence microscope, encrypted information would be undetected under standard optical microscopes. Potential Applications:� � ��� �Vat polymerization 3D printers ��� �Material Extrusion 3D printers ��� �Two-Photon Lithography ��� �Volumetric Additive Manufacturing ��� �UV-coating ��� �3D Information Encryption Development Status: � Current stage of technology development: �TRL 3� LLNL has filed for patent protection on this invention. LLNL is seeking industry partners with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market. Moving critical technology beyond the Laboratory to the commercial world helps our licensees gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. All licensing activities are conducted under policies relating to the strict nondisclosure of company proprietary information. � Please visit the IPO website at https://ipo.llnl.gov/resources for more information on working with LLNL and the industrial partnering and technology transfer process.� Note: �THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. �Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's spatio-temporal monitoring process should provide an electronic OR written statement of interest, which includes the following: 1.�� �Company Name and address. 2.�� �The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. 3.�� �A description of corporate expertise and/or facilities relevant to commercializing this technology. Please provide a complete electronic OR written statement to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's spatio-temporal monitoring process. The subject heading in an email response should include the Notice ID and/or the title of LLNL�s Technology/Business Opportunity and directed to the Primary and Secondary Point of Contacts listed below.� Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Innovation and Partnerships Office P.O. Box 808, L-779 Livermore, CA �94551-0808 Attention: � IL-13880
