Our paper selected as feature article in Polymer Journal

Our publication o paper n the “Characterization of particle dispersion and volume fraction in alumina filled epoxy nanocomposites using photostimulated luminescence spectroscopy” was selected as a feature article b paper2 y Polymer Journal.

The paper authored by Amanda Stevenson, Ashley Jones and S. Raghavan presents a novel method of evaluating the dispersion o alumina nanoparticles within a polymer matrix as well as creating a calibration for filler particle volume fraction. Polymer Journal publishes a wide variety of article types on cutting-edge developments in macromolecule research.

Fall Seminar – Dr. Anette Karlsson, Chair and Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Delaware, visits UCF

As part of the MMAE Fall Seminar Series, Dr. Anette Karlsson visits UCF to present a lecture on “The microstructures of arthropod exoskeletons and the mechanical behavior of bio-inspired composites”. Dr. Karlsson visits the team’s lab to get an update on our work on Synchrotron XRD in-situ strain measurements of EB-PVD Thermal Barrier Coatings and on Characterization of alumina-filled epoxy nanocomposites using photo-stimulated luminescence spectroscopy.
