This PFI: AIR Technology Translation project focuses on translating water repellency properties of low cost replicated microtextured surface technology to fill the anti-icing and corrosion resistance technology gap. The water repellency technology has the following unique features: long-term durability, high bonding strength and extremely high water repellency characteristics that provides exemplary low cost manufacturing to generate cost savings and added safety when compared to the leading competing technology of specialty nanoparticles in this market space. The project accomplishes this goal by low cost replication of laser generated microtextured patterns resulting in prototype samples for industrial evaluation and examination of commercial feasibility. The partnership engages aircraft manufacturers, renewable energy generators and dish antenna producers to provide guidance in the aerospace, energy and RF communications market and other aspects including entrepreneurship and technology commercialization as they pertain to the potential to translate the technology along a path that may result in a competitive commercial reality. The potential economic impact is expected to be in billions of dollars in the next ten years, which will contribute to the U.S. competitiveness in the aerospace, communications, energy and transportation market places. The societal impact, long term, will be improvements in aerospace safety, long-term operation of structural components and lowering fuel consumption.

该 PFI：AIR 技术翻译项目的重点是翻译低成本复制微纹理表面技术的防水特性，以填补防冰和耐腐蚀技术空白。 防水技术具有以下独特功能：长期耐用性、高粘合强度和极高的防水特性，与该市场中领先的特种纳米粒子竞争技术相比，可提供堪称典范的低成本制造，从而节省成本并提高安全性空间。 该项目通过低成本复制激光生成的微纹理图案来实现这一目标，从而产生用于工业评估和商业可行性检查的原型样品。 该合作伙伴关系吸引了飞机制造商、可再生能源发电机和碟形天线生产商，为航空航天、能源和射频通信市场以及包括创业和技术商业化在内的其他方面提供指导，因为它们涉及沿着可能导致技术转化的道路的潜力。竞争性的商业现实。 预计未来十年潜在的经济影响将达到数十亿美元，这将有助于提高美国在航空航天、通信、能源和运输市场的竞争力。从长远来看，社会影响将是改善航空航天安全、结构部件的长期运行以及降低燃料消耗。
