This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $275,000 to Dmag USA LLC to develop a nickel-boron-tungsten-carbon fullerene coating with superior performance for aerospace applications. The key products or services to be delivered include:

  • A novel coating formulation that incorporates boron, nickel, tungsten, carbon fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and nano diamond to withstand hypersonic environments and improve safety, durability, and corrosion resistance of aerospace systems. This coating is designed to replace harmful hexavalent chromium plating processes.

  • The coatings are expected to benefit a range of applications beyond aerospace, such as improving antenna performance for cell phone infrastructure and providing radiation shielding for planes and satellites. The coating technology may also enhance air travel safety by preventing corrosion and failures of critical landing gear components.

The project aims to leverage Dmag USA's prior research on nickel-tungsten co-deposit formulations to develop this advanced multifunctional coating that can meet national hypersonic vehicle goals. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an expected completion date of February 2025.
