The U.S. Navy requires reliable all-solid-state batteries (ASSB) with solid electrolytes to enhance their performance and safety. The novelty of the proposed study by NanoCoatings, Inc. (NCI) is the use of Magnetron Sputtering Physical Vapor Deposition (MS PVD) to manufacture thin, dense electrolyte layers of lithium-ion conductor and multiple cathode layers to provide high levels of ionic and ele ...

US Navy vessels and their components and equipment experience severe environmental conditions, leading to a level of unacceptable corrosion through a combination of sea water exposure, heat, humidity, UV exposure, and general inaccessibility for continual maintenance. Copper brush electroplating is the standard repair technique for many Navy corrosion repair applications, however this process is p ...

The increased emphasis on environmental and health concerns have impacted the operations of combat forces. To comply with federal regulations military equipment must be washed down or decontaminated prior to being transported back to the United States. The proposed Phase I research will demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing Octa-Aqua-Flex's patented environmental pad as the basis for a portable ...
