Advanced Materials Design: Structural Applications

Ongoing
Designing New High Temperature Co Superalloys In collaboration with the NIST CHiMaD center, an ICME approach in being used to develop new Co superalloys that are strengthened using an ordered FCC (L1 2) phase (similar to the related Ni-based superalloys). The design goals for these alloys include

Directed Self Assembly of Block Copolymers for Nanopatterning

Ongoing
One of the key issues for DSA is the three dimensional structure of the block copolymer. For the example of line-space patterns made using lamella-forming block copolymers, it is possible to have the DSA form tilted lamella or complex mixed morphologies that are a combination of vertical and
