Aerospace
Materials. Aerospace and defense research
has led to the development of high performance materials including
advanced fibers and matrix materials. These can provide strength,
weight, durability, and toughness advantages to many applications.
Embedded Sensors, Actuators, & Electronics. Embedded
components enable distributed smart structures with multifunctional
capabilities. Composites serve
as the host structure for integrated system.
Low-Cost Processing. Recent advances in processing along
with higher productions volumes for mainstream applications are
reducing cost barriers for composite systems. The advantages of
composites are now more attainable in commercial applications.
