Our research is focused on advanced high temperature materials and processes for future aerospace propulsion and power generation systems.
Primary material interests:
- high temperature composites
- polymer and polymer matrix composites
- copper, nickel, and titanium-based alloys
- ceramics and ceramic-matrix composites
- environmental and thermal barrier coatings
Advanced processes of current interest:
- polymer synthesis
- rapid solidification
- plasma spraying
- powder processing
- surface coatings
- appropriate computational materials science modeling support
Advanced chemical, surface and microstructural characterization capabilities support all of these efforts. Research is conducted in-house as well as through joint interactive efforts with university and industrial scientists.
