Polymer composite are emerging in a new era where their application spans from aerospace, automotive and marine to energy, biomedical and cosmetics. Scalable manufacturing of enhanced and multifunctional hybrid composites integrating micro and nano-reinforcements without any penalty on performance allows a faster production of novel composites at lower costs. In PCAM lab, we employ nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and cellulose nanocrystals and study the process-structure-property to develop hybrid composites with engineered hierarchy and performance.
