Corrosion resistant coatings
Sponsor:
Mayaterials Co.
The objective of this project is to develop a new corrosion resistant coating based on silses-quioxane materials for aircraft applications. Aluminum alloys for aircraft bodies must be epoxy resin-coated to minimize environmental corrosion. Coating systems currently used in the aviation industry use chromium (VI) compounds |

Advanced Silesquioxane Research Program
Sponsor:
Nippon Shokubai
Our objective in this work is to develop synthesis-processing relationships for cubic silsesquioxane [(RSiO1.5)8] or cube based materials with the goal of learning to predict, control and tailor materials’ properties one nanometer at a time. Cubes are made easily via common sol-gel methods, and represent |

Silsesquioxane Materials for Flip/Chip No Flow Underfill
Sponsor:
Delphi Automotive Systems
The objective of this project is to develop new silsesquioxane-based epoxy resins for flip-chip underfill. Flip-chip underfills are used to transfer heat from Si chips (coefficient of thermal expansion, CTE ≈ 2-4 ppm/°C) to substrate printed circuit boards (CTEs ≈ 40 ppm/°C). Thus, the CTEs |

Creep Resistant YAG Oxide Fibers
Sponsor:
Defense Department, Air Force
Mixtures of yttrium acetate hydrate and aluminum formate hydrate were dissolved in water with ethylene glycol and other organic agents as fiber precursors. Using this metalloorganic precursor, green fiber can be formed by high pressure extrusion and drawing. |

Processing of Oxide nanopowders for Transparent Ceramics
Sponsor:
Defense Department, Air Force
Earlier work have shown the adaptability of the Liquid-Feed Flame Spray Pyrolysis (LF-FSP) method in producing a wide range of composition. This project’s goal is to produce different nanopowder systems (Mg-Al-O, Y-Al-O, Y-Yb-Er-O…). Compositions will be studied in order to observe which kinetic phases are |

Porous bodies for filters and insulation using nanocomposite binders
Sponsor:
Maxit Group
The objective of this project is to develop porous particles that can be incorporated into monolithic nanocomposites such that the resulting body has very high surface areas but very low transport of particulate filled liquids or gases through composite after assembly. The resulting materials offer |

Oxygen Barrier Membranes
Sponsor:
Kuraray Company Ltd.
The objective of this project is to develop new silsesquioxane-based barrier membranes that use silsesquioxane nanofillers to block the passage of oxygen through the membrane. The goal is to develop films that are more stable than current ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymers but with the same |
