Research abstract
DOE HAS INDICATED AN INTEREST IN CONTINUOUS PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LOW-COST COMPOSITES FOR HIGH HIGH-VOLUME APPLICATIONS. FOSTER-MILLER IS PROPOSING AN INNOVATIVE AND LOW-COST APPROACH FOR THE PRODUCTION OF COMPOSITE SANDWICH STRUCTURES. THE PROPOSED PHASE I PROJECT WILL INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF PRODUCING LOW-COST COMPOSITE SANDWICH PANELS BY A CONTINUOUS ELASTIC RESERVOIR MOLDING (CERM) PROCESS. THE PROGRAM WILL INVOLVE THE DEVELOPMENT OF TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED TO DEMONSTRATE THE CERM PROCESS. SAMPLE PANELS WILL BE PRODUCED TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECT OF PROCESSING PARAMETERS ON THE PROPERTIES OF THE RESULTANT SANDWICH PANELS. PHASE I WILL ESTIMATE PRODUCTION RATES AND PANEL COSTS FOR PROCESS SCALE-UP.
