Available Technologies

By engineering the Serine Integrase Assisted Genome Engineering (SAGE) genetic toolkit in an industrial strain of Aspergillus niger, we have established its proof of principle for applicability in Eukaryotes.

The technologies provide additively manufactured thermal protection system.

In additive manufacturing, choice of process parameters for a given material and geometry can result in porosities in the build volume, which can result in scrap.

A pressure burst feature has been designed and demonstrated for relieving potentially hazardous excess pressure within irradiation capsules used in the ORNL High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR).

This manufacturing method uses multifunctional materials distributed volumetrically to generate a stiffness-based architecture, where continuous surfaces can be created from flat, rapidly produced geometries.

The lack of real-time insights into how materials evolve during laser powder bed fusion has limited the adoption by inhibiting part qualification.  The developed approach provides key data needed to fabricate born qualified parts.

This invention focuses on improving the ceramic yield of preceramic polymers by tuning the crosslinking process that occurs during vat photopolymerization (VP).

We present a comprehensive muti-technique approach for systematic investigation of enzymes generated by wastewater Comamonas species with hitherto unknown functionality to wards the depolymerization of plastics into bioaccessible products for bacterial metabolism.

Distortion generated during additive manufacturing of metallic components affect the build as well as the baseplate geometries. These distortions are significant enough to disqualify components for functional purposes.

For additive manufacturing of large-scale parts, significant distortion can result from residual stresses during deposition and cooling. This can result in part scraps if the final part geometry is not contained in the additively manufactured preform.
