High-Temperature Electronics for Low-Cost, In-Line Impurity Monitoring of Salt-Cooled Reactors
SBC: OZARK INTEGRATED CIRCUITS INC Topic: C5436fThe prospect of nuclear power produced with advanced molten salt-cooled reactor (MSR) designs has garnered the attention of the Department of Energy in conjunction with the private sector. Modern designs describe a chemically stable salt such as FLiNaK with a melting point below 500°C, heated by the nuclear reaction to a temperature near 700°C. Continuous operation of MSR heat-exchange loops req ...

Upcycling Of Polymer Composites For Vehicle Decarbonization
SBC: COMPOSITES AUTOMATION LLC Topic: C5612cC56-12c-272445Carbon fiber composites (CFCs) exhibit superior properties and combined with part consolidation, reduce system weight significantly compared to metal approaches. But CFCs have high embodied energy (~230MJ/kg) and the virgin carbon fiber (vCF) feedstock is expensive (>$20/kg). Recycling of CFCs has the potential to recapture the material value at a much lower cost, reduce the embodied ...

DEVELOPMENT OF SECOND USE APPLICATIONS FOR IONOMER MATERIALS RECOVERED FROM HYDROGEN ECONOMY SYSTEMS
SBC: ION POWER, INC Topic: C5611aPerfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) polymers are the primary membrane material used in the manufacturing of water electrolyzers and fuel cells for the hydrogen economy. The discarding of these materials, especially when they are combined with precious metals, presents an unwanted introduction of these materials into the environment. Thus, the opportunity being addressed by this SBIR proposal is the deve ...
