Research abstract
An operator-friendly non-contact method capable of detecting any contaminant over a large area just prior to bonding is the ideal solution. Space Micro Inc. (SMI) Advanced Materials Division, in partnership with Vanguard Composites (VC) proposes to define and develop a novel inexpensive portable instrument for both qualitatively and quantitatively assessing the bond surface quality of composites. The innovation described in this proposal is to select and adapt existing commercial off the shelf (COTS) equipment and technology for this application to minimize the technical risk and development time.
