Early Detection of Overheating Polytetrafluoroethylene Insulated Wires Project

Published by Space Technology Mission Directorate | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: February 21, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-03-31
<p>The objective of the proposed work is to develop a rapid time response diagnostic using a suite of instruments for the detection of heated&nbsp;polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) insulated wires based on chemicals and particles generated at relatively low temperatures. &nbsp;The anticipated result of the proposed effort is the development of a conceptual design for an early warning system that can specifically detect the overheating of&nbsp;polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) insulated wires. This design can be utilized as a subsystem integrated into a fully capable fire detection system.</p>
