Composites

Composite materials integrating various ceramics, fibers, metals, and polymer forms are being investigated for practically every conceivable application in aerospace, automotive, electronic packaging, orthopedic implants, energy storage, permanent magnets, household/sports equipment, wind turbines, etc.

Research in various forms of composite materials by MSE faculty is geared towards their synthesis/processing/fabrication, characterization of constituent structure and interface characteristics, determination of function-specific properties, and computations and modeling from constituent-level aspects to the prediction of system performance of composite materials used in the form of linings or bulk forms, and ultra-light-weight foams or cellular or tensegrity-inspired structures. The Composites Research and Education Center provides a campus-wide interdisciplinary forum in this area.

The faculty listed below, have identified Composites as one of their primary research areas based on material form.
