3D Printing of Continuous Carbon Fiber Composites with Programmable Thermal Behaviors: A Proactive Safety Design for Advanced Thermal Management
PI Yizhou Jiang
This study aimed to fabricate composite materials, i.e. continuous carbon fibers reinforced thermoset composites (CCFRTC), in a way that makes heat transfer predictable, enabling effective control measures. The ability to control thermal transfer through 3D-printing can lead to significant improvements in preventing thermal-related accidents.
Findings: Final report submitted 9/24. This study demonstrated the adaptability and precision of the team’s 3D printing method but also underscored its potential in advancing the field of thermosetting composite material manufacturing, paving the way for innovative applications, including fire suppression systems.
