About this award
Georgia TECH Research Corp, operating through its Office of Sponsored Programs, was awarded a $176,458.95 research grant by a Civilian Shared Services Center on September 13, 2021, with completion targeted for December 12, 2024. The grant supports research focused on silicon nitride precursor fibers, specifically addressing limitations in current manufacturing processes. Historically, silicon nitride fibers have been produced through melt processing of polycarbosilanes and polysilazanes, with typical fiber strengths ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 gigapascals and diameters exceeding 8 millimeters. This research effort aims to advance fiber manufacturing capabilities beyond these current performance parameters.
The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation, indicating open competition, and is being performed in Atlanta, Georgia. Georgia TECH Research Corp, a non-profit research organization affiliated with Georgia Institute of Technology, brings extensive expertise in advanced materials science and engineering research. The organization maintains a strong track record of federal research funding across multiple agencies, including the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Air Force Research Laboratory, and National Science Foundation, positioning it well to address the technical challenges associated with improving silicon nitride fiber properties and manufacturing processes.
