Efficient thermal management in polymers is essential for developing lightweight, high-strength materials with multifunctional capabilities.
The disclosure is directed to optimized fiber geometries for use in carbon fiber reinforced polymers with increased compressive strength per unit cost. The disclosed fiber geometries reduce the material processing costs as well as increase the compressive strength.
CO2 capture by mineral looping, either using calcium or magnesium precursors requires that the materials be calcined after CO2 is captured from the atmosphere. This separates the CO2 for later sequestration and returned the starting material to its original state.
System and method for part porosity monitoring of additively manufactured components using machining
In additive manufacturing, choice of process parameters for a given material and geometry can result in porosities in the build volume, which can result in scrap.
A novel and cost-effective process for the activation of carbon fibers was established.

Mineral looping is a promising method for direct air capture of CO2. However, reduction of sorbent reactivity after each loop is likely to be significant problems for mineral looping by MgO.
ORNL contributes to developing the concept of passive CO2 DAC by designing and testing a hybrid sorption system. This design aims to leverage the advantages of CO2 solubility and selectivity offered by materials with selective sorption of adsorbents.
Sensing of additive manufacturing processes promises to facilitate detailed quality inspection at scales that have seldom been seen in traditional manufacturing processes.
The invention addresses the long-standing challenge of inorganic phase change materials use in buildings envelope and other applications by encapsulating them in a secondary sheath.
