Thank you for your interest in the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC)’s featured technologies for licensing. ERDC’s innovations are designed to solve military and civil challenges. Note that this site does not include the entire ERDC IP portfolio (entire list found here). This site is to promote those technologies with high potential for industry partnering opportunities.
Carbon Nanotubes Engineered for Stability and Scalability
• Uses DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes and an enzyme-mediated process to link individual nanotubes into visible macroscopic structures without damage
• Solves manipulation challenge through controlled biological process, preserving nanotubes’ superior strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal properties for practical use
• Enables high-performance structural materials for aerospace/automotive, advanced electronics requiring superior conductivity, and applications needing exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and thermal properties
Autonomous UV and Brush Apparatus for Well Fouling Prevention (Wellbot)
• Cleans faster and better without hazardous chemicals or heavy machinery
• Delivers cost-efficient, multi-year performance with remote control connectivity for optimal functionality
• Reduces personnel needs through rapid, non-technical deployment, easy mobilization, and minimal power demands
Hydrogel-Enzyme Systems and Methods
• Enable enzyme activity in extreme conditions with a protective hydrogel that resists heat, pH, and chemicals
• Reduce risk and delays by allowing earlier, safer deployment in hazardous environments
• Support diverse applications from industrial clean-up to manufacturing and chemical spill response
