TRANSCRIPT
ACCOMPLISHMENTSDeveloped fiber optic sensors for up to 400o C
Developed methods to imbed fiber optic sensors into polymer matrix composites
Methods of entrance and egress of optical fibers from autoclaves and molds to instrumentation were developed
A simple instrument capable of monitoring 16 fiber optic sensors was developed
COMMERCIALIZATION
Received commercial, DOE, and DOD funding totaling $250K (Phase III). DOE work was on resin transfer molded composites and DOD work was on monitoring the cure of molded explosives.
As a result of this SBIR, Geo Centers further enhanced their business by purchasing a technical competitor, Micromet, Inc.
Two new jobs were created
