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 |

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 |
