Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) for Nanostructured Smart Materials

Abstract

This DURIP project is aimed at establishing a new Spark Plasma Sintering(SPS) equipment by which we will be able to process a new set of nano-structured smart materials and composites; shape memory alloy(SMA) composites, ferromagnetic SMA composites, piezo-composites with and without functionally graded microstructure(FGM), a new active materials such as piezo-SMA composites. These composites will be used for higher performance airborne actuators and smart window materials and energy harvesting and cooling materials for airborne antennas.
