In plain English
Los Alamos National Laboratory is offering a licensing opportunity for SiloGetter, a 3D-printed siloxane composite that captures hydrogen in sealed electronics, vacuum instruments, metal containers and aerospace applications. The material holds about 50% getter by weight, prints through nozzles as small as 400 microns, absorbs more than 80% of available hydrogen and remains stable near 75°C. This is a technology licensing opportunity, not a request for outside development services; the technology is TRL 4 and patent pending under LA-UR-26-27370.
About this bid
3D-Printed Siloxane Composites with Hydrogen Getter Capability Unwanted hydrogen is a silent threat inside sealed electronics, vacuum instruments and metal containers, where it clouds optics, embrittles metals and can build toward explosive levels. SiloGetter from Los Alamos National Laboratory answers that threat with a printable siloxane composite that captures hydrogen right at its source while carrying nearly 10 times the active getter content of earlier printed materials. Because the paste flows through nozzles as fine as 400 microns without clogging, protection can be shaped precisely to the geometry a device demands, and because the finished part keeps its strength instead of…
