This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II Project will validate the polymer infiltration/microwave pyrolysis (PIMP) process and ceramic product whose feasibility was demonstrated in Phase I. The Phase I project demonstrated a reduction in pyrolysis time of greater than 90%; the Phase II project will confirm a corresponding cost reduction. During the Phase I, a strategic partnership with a major original equipment manufacturer (OEM) was established. The Phase II project will refine the process to produce ceramic parts for a specific commercial application, and will validate the weight and performance enhancements projected in Phase I. The PIMP process will be expanded to the pilot plant scale, and with the collaboration of the OEM and a business development specialist. Commercial applications exist for fiber-reinforced ceramics, if they can be produced at low cost. The potential applications range from gas-fired turbine engines for power plants and aircraft to brakes, waste incineration and chemical production.

该小企业技术转让（STTR）第二阶段项目将验证聚合物渗透/微波热解（PIMP）工艺和陶瓷产品，其可行性已在第一阶段得到证明。第一阶段项目证明热解时间减少了90%以上;第二阶段项目将确认相应的成本降低。 在第一阶段，与一家主要原始设备制造商（OEM）建立了战略合作伙伴关系。第二阶段项目将改进工艺，为特定的商业应用生产陶瓷部件，并将验证第一阶段计划的重量和性能增强。PIMP工艺将扩大到试验工厂规模，并与OEM和业务开发专家合作。 如果纤维增强陶瓷能够以低成本生产，则其存在商业应用。 潜在的应用范围从发电厂和飞机的燃气涡轮机发动机到制动器、废物焚烧和化学生产。
