Description
The Tailorable Universal Feedstock for Forming (TuFF) material and process overcomes previous short fiber alignment challenges with alignment quality sufficient to fully translate composite properties equivalent to continuous fiber composites with the in-plane stretchability like metal. This STTR project will focus on dispersion and spillway optimization to improve throughput allowing production rate gains without affecting microstructural properties and mechanical performance and evaluate forming challenges with the short fiber material.
