Aa Plasma LLC

Purpose: Aaplasmas Phase I Proposal Will Integrate Its Two Existing Gap Systems (forward Vortex and Reverse Vortex Gliding Arc Plasmatrons) Into a Dual-plasmatron System Tailored for Use in Restoring Road Marking Surfaces Rapidly and Affordably. With This Technology, Aaplasma Plans to Address the Needs of the Nations Physical Infrastructure and Resilience by Reducing Costs and Improving the Reliability of Road Markings Throughout the United States Road Infrastructure.activities to Be Performed: During Phase I, Aaplasma Plans to Perform the Following ACTIVITIES:1. Demonstrate Complete Decontamination of Road Surface and Optimize Pre-deposition SURFACETREATMENT;2. Demonstrate Ceramic/polymer Composite Powder Partial MELTING;3. Analyze Deposition Onto the Bituminous Road SURFACE;4. Validate Wall Protection Gas in Reverse-vortex Gap Geometry by Monitoring Wall Surface for Up to 10 Hours of Continuous OPERATION;5. Material Analysis of Deposited Marking Material.expected Outcomes: Following Successful Validation of Its Technology in Phase I, Aaplasma Will Scale-up, Optimize, and Pilot Test Its Dual-head Gliding Arc Plasma Technology in Phase Ii. These Pilot-tests Will Be Critical to the Development of Its Commercial-scale System Planned for Phase Ii.intended Beneficiaries: Aaplasmas Technology Will Benefit the Global Road Marking Industry.subrecipient Activities: Aaplasmas Consultants Will Be Conducting the Following Activities During Phase I:1. Vos-ip, LLP Providing Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) in Areas of Patents and Other Intellectual PROPERTY.2. University of Pennsylvania, Singh Center for Nanotechnology Providing Optical Scanning, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman Spectroscopy Consulting.
