Non-Isocyanate Polymer Design and Coating Development
WP-2315

*Note* This project on the SERDP site is one in the same for the DOD fund granted in June 2013.

this one is lead by PPG, and I think most definitely fits HCT's green poly quite well. More specifically the technical approach(compare to HCT patent).
"Cyclic Carbonate-Amine Based Systems: Cyclic carbonates are another example of non-isocyanate coatings producing a polyurethane linkage during crosslinking. Cyclic carbonates can be formed from the reaction of epoxides with carbon dioxide (CO2) using a catalyst under slight pressure and temperature. Feasibility of room-temperature cure has been demonstrated by PPG through appropriate catalyst selection or the addition of co-reactants."

Here is the DOD fund you are talking about. Look at the Timeline, it all fits so well imo.

"Anticipated project completion is in 2016, according to SERDP"

wow that's incredible that you found something that stated rain erosion. the weapons system i work with uses a compound for rain erosion and the crap we use sucks. always finding spots that require repair, very wasteful product

The professors e-mail address is on the article. Maybe try emailing him and ask if it is a partnership with industry and if the research completed by Oleg is part of his study?
