 
Out-of-Autoclave Method Cures Materials and Cost Concerns Alike
A government/industry team developed a new out-of-autoclave method for curing bismaleimide resins. The technology will enable fabrication of larger composite structures, lower both direct and indirect expenses, and provide field and depot maintenance personnel a practical option for repairing BMI materials.

Nanolithography Nets Biopolymer EO Device Improvements
Researchers demonstrated the first-ever nanoimprint-lithography-based fabrication of biopolymer nanostructures. The nanolithography technology
will enable low-cost, portable production of communications and sensing devices. Pictured are atomic-force microscope images of a nanoimprinted
DNA biopolymer; the diameter of each pillar is 70 nm, and the height is >150 nm. (AFRL image)
