Description
The objective will be to develop a formulation and manufacturing process for low loss, high index, and high wave characteristic impedance magnetic powder utilizing breakthrough technology to improve Navy Electronic Warfare systems. The approach will be to combine low density high strength microsphere fillers and magnetic powder within a high-strength polymer matrix to achieve the objectives of this program. Selected materials will meet Navy Shipboard requirements for fire, smoke, and toxicity. The selected formulations will be tested for three dimensional printing. Physical, electrical and magnetic properties will be tested in accordance with ASTM methods. UDC will prove the feasibility and potential advantages of the new formulations and manufacturing process during this Phase I program. A report with results and conclusions will be submitted at the end of the Phase I program.
