A New One Step Manufacturing Process for 2-D C-C Composites

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目致力于建立一个低成本的制造技术，为2-D C-C复合材料。碳-碳复合材料表现出独特的性能，并使许多航空航天和汽车应用成为可能。在过去的几十年里，美国在这些复合材料的研发上花费了大量的努力。最近的国防变化严重削减了碳-碳复合材料的研发，导致几个大型航空航天组织停止了他们的业务。与此同时，外国资源正在加紧努力，导致在这项技术上比美国更具竞争力。降低C-C复合材料的制造成本将不可避免地为这些材料开辟一个全新的前景。该提案提供了一种独特的、平衡良好的方法，有可能将成本降低到100美元/磅以下。高质量的复合材料。首席研究员和MER在C-C复合材料领域拥有丰富的经验，为实现项目目标提供了坚实的基础。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project is devoted to establishing a low cost manufacturing technology for 2-D C-C composites. Carbon-carbon composites exhibit unique properties and are enabling to a number of aerospace and automobile applications. Over the past several decades, the U.S. has expended extensive efforts on R&D of these composites. Recent changes in defense has severely curtailed R&D in C-C composites causing several large aerospace organizations to cease their operations. At the same time, foreign sources are intensifying their efforts leading to an advantage over the U.S. competitively in this technology. Lowering the manufacturing cost of C-C composites would inevitably open an entirely new perspective for these materials. This proposal offers a unique, well-balanced approach that has the potential to reduce cost to less than $100/lb. for high quality composites. The principal investigator and MER have extensive experience in the area of C-C composites providing a solid base to achieve the objectives of the project.
