UD’s Center for Composite Materials hosts NASA University Leadership Initiative


The research centers on CCM’s patented process for creating a new class of materials known as TuFF (Tailorable universal Feedstock for Forming). Composed of highly aligned short carbon fiber with a thermoplastic matrix, this material is said to enable maximum weight savings, extended electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) range and reduced manufacturing costs (learn more about the material,  The goal is to develop physics-based simulations tools for modeling different processes in the manufacturing process, then incorporating these models into software suited for part design and manufacturing using TuFF.

The meeting, held on Oct. 13, 2022, hosted nearly 200 virtual and more than 50 in-person attendees from NASA and other government agencies, industry and academia. The meeting featured technical presentations, an hour-long Q&A session and lab tours and demonstrations at the CCM and the CCM Applications Technology Transfer Laboratory.

CCM-affiliated speakers included Shridhar Yarlagadda, CCM assistant director for research and associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; postdoc Nithin Parambil, doctoral student Brandon Chen; research associate Pavel Simacek; composites process development specialist Tom Cender; and senior scientist John Tierney.

“In addition to the research and technical progress, we are pleased with the success of our education and outreach activities with Southern University,” Jack Gillespie, professor and director of CCM, notes. “Overall, over 500 K-12 students with approximately 60% from underrepresented groups were involved in NASA ULI-sponsored activities.”

Led by a team from UD, this 

 is addressing basic research and technology barriers in urban air mobility (UAM). The project is also focused on education and workforce training needs through a focus on opportunities for undergraduate interns, graduate research in composites manufacturing and collaborative training opportunities with the program’s HBCU and industry partners.

  Simonelli undertakes research to reuse composite materials Simonelli Group is currently undertaking a research and development project to reuse composite materials, that nowadays have a vast range of uses and applications thanks to their durability and longevity, but which are also very difficult to dispose of. The De-Manufacturing research project, developed by Delta srl and Simonelli Group, is part of the Marche Region’s Marche Applied Research Laboratory for Innovative Composites (MARLIC) platform in the context of ‘Sustainable manufacturing: eco-sustainability of products and processes for new materials and de-manufacturing’. “We are truly delighted to take an active part in this virtuous synergy, promoted and developed also within the MARLIC platform as advocates of a dual objective, to make a strong contribution to the transition towards a circular economy and to grow and develop the local industrial system,” says Fabio Ceccarani, Simonelli Group Managing Director. “The De-Manu

Revolutionizing Industries: Innovative Applications of Polymer Nanocomposites

Image
  In the dynamic realm of materials science, polymer nanocomposites have emerged as a revolutionary class of materials with unparalleled versatility and performance. From automotive engineering to biomedical technology, polymer nanocomposites are revolutionizing industries. This article explores the potential of polymer nanocomposites, highlighting their contributions to advancing materials science and supporting a sustainable future.1 What are Polymer Nanoparticles? Polymer nanoparticles, often termed nanofillers or nanoscale additives, are integral to polymer nanocomposites, imbuing them with exceptional properties. Ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in diameter, these nanoparticles integrate into the polymer matrix, influencing mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and electrical resistivity. Carbon-based nanoparticles like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene reinforce polymer matrices effectively, while clay nanoparticles enhance mechanical reinforcement and flame retardancy. M

Unsaturated polyester (UP)  resin  is a low cost thermoset with excellent processing ability and  mechanical properties  that finds applications in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials. It also crosslinks readily in the presence of a catalyst such ketone peroxide, forming an even stronger and stiffer resin. Unfortunately, this also leads to lower  fracture toughness . Several methods to enhance the toughness of the cross-linked resin have been proposed; one such method involved blending with nano-fillers m
