Summary

Description

<p>The research team took a fully collaborative approach with  NASA, the University of Central Florida, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, and a  global research commercial partner on the development and application of novel materials. Information gained in this study will be leveraged to propose future funding to advance the technology readiness level (TRL) for extreme conditions applications.</p><p>The three materials research tasks and associated partners that were explored during this project are summarized as follows:</p><ol style="list-style-type:upper-alpha"><li>Two-way Shape Memory Alloys systems with University of Central Florida and  NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC)</li><li>Gradient Cellular solids with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University</li><li>Tunable composites/laminates  with NASA-GRC</li></ol>
