Research abstract
The design and quality control of the fiber-matrix interface (the coatings) in ceramic-matrix composites is the key to achieving desired composite performance. It is essential to monitor/control the course of critical steps in fiber coating processes as to understand the science/engineering that underlies the processing steps. Currently, no real time or in situ fiber coating measurements are available. In this proposal, Koosur Technologies Inc. will develop a non-invasive, laser based instrument for CMC fiber tow characterization. The proposed instrument uniquely measures the fiber coating thickness and chemical compositions quickly and in real time.
