MULTI-LATERAL DEFENSE SCIENCE PARTNERING TO INVESTIGATE FUNDAMENTAL BIO-ELECTRO-CHEMICAL INTERACTION MECHANISM OF AEROSPACE MATERIALS
Abstract
Current approaches in research about interaction of aerospace materials and biologic environment emphasize maintenance and mitigation using conventional metal corrosion models. These traditional approaches focus on electro-chemical corrosion morphologies. In contrast this proposal is an experimental cross-discipline investigation of the bio-electrochemical factors collectively. The study will use an interdisciplinary approach, combining electrochemical, surface analytical and microbiological analysis to better delineate the interactions between biological and electrochemical processes and to identify what triggers the initial, crucial steps in material integrity loss. In addition the proposed significantly enhances the scope of Multi-lateral defense science partnering AFRL, Military Research and Development Center (MRDC) of Thailand, the Chilean Air Force (FACh) and Catholic University of Chile.
