This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will enable development and understanding of the flow and interaction of inorganic pigments with glass fibers in a polymer melt flow molding process in order to produce colored structural composite materials. The proposed effort will lead to the development of thermoplastic composite structural materials with enhanced thermal efficiency, attractive coloring and that are processable using low-cost flow molding technologies - entirely integrated in a single-step process. Efforts that address process-performance-microstructure relationships will lead to the development of engineered thermoplastic resins and composites that that can be colored with durable pigments. This innovation has the potential to significantly impact a number of end use applications in transportation, construction, recreation and leisure, and industrial markets. Examples of applications include body panels, underbody floors, roof substructure, front and rear end modules, building interiors etc.

该小型企业技术转让（STTR）第一阶段项目将能够开发和理解聚合物熔体流动成型工艺中无机颜料与玻璃纤维的流动和相互作用，以生产彩色结构复合材料。拟议的努力将导致热塑性复合结构材料的开发，该材料具有更高的热效率、有吸引力的色彩，并且可以使用低成本流动成型技术进行加工 - 完全集成在单步工艺中。解决工艺-性能-微观结构关系的努力将导致工程热塑性树脂和复合材料的开发，这些树脂和复合材料可以用耐用颜料着色。这项创新有可能对交通、建筑、娱乐休闲以及工业市场中的许多最终用途应用产生重大影响。应用示例包括车身面板、车身底部地板、车顶下部结构、前端和后端模块、建筑内饰等。
