Synthetic Multifunctional Materials: Structure + ...

Abstract

What are Synthetic Multifunctional Materials? Materials that are explicitly designed to realize multiple tasks. (Structure + power generation, + sensing, + self repair,) Inspiration Nature's materials (e.g., skin, bone): efficient, responsive, adaptable, self healing Emerging materials science base: process and material modeling, engineered microstructures, flexible manufacturing Program Objectives Establish formalized design methodologies for multi-functionality Synthesize multifunctional materials and components and, through compelling challenge problems, demonstrate approach and advantages Change the design methodology for structures in Defense systems Synthetic Multifunctional Materials.
