Advanced Algal Biofoundries for the Production of Polyurethane Precursors [Abstract]

The collaboration between PNNL, LBNL, and UCSD will develop novel algae bioproduction platforms for the generation of polymer precursors. To achieve this, we will design and construct genetic tools for enhanced production of target chemicals. Biosensors will be developed to detect target chemical production. We will expand our knowledge of metabolic and regulatory systems that control or inhibit biosynthesis of the target molecules, and use this knowledge base to optimize production titers. Finally, we will integrate the knowledge gained from each activity to produce a set of the most promising production strains used to demonstrate the economic viability of producing polymer precursors in algal bioproduction platforms at scale under either heterotrophic or photosynthetic growth.

Erosion of polyurethane insulation.

Detailed description of the test program in which erosion of the spray foam insulation used in the S-II stage of the Saturn-V Apollo launch vehicle was investigated. The behavior of the spray foam was investigated at the elevated temperature and static pressure appropriate to the S-II stage environment, but in the absence of the aerodynamic shear stress.

Temporary insulation with polyurethane foam

Masking parts with Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) tape allows easy removal of insulation; therefore, insulation can be used temporarily while testing of parts and then removed for their reworking.
