Assistant Professor Jeffrey Wiggins from the University of Southern Mississippi tells us about work his team is doing on carbon fibre-based composite materials. In particular they are working on matrix chemistries to optimise matrix critical properties.

They are looking at using nanoparticles to enhance properties of the matrix and improve structural performance.

He believes that these materials will find use in sporting equipment, aerospace, consumer products and defence where they will replace metals.

This interview was recorded at the Carbon Fibre - Future Directions conference, held in Geelong Australia and organised by VCAMM and Deakin University.

Which Alloys Are Prone to Corrosion, and How Can We Prevent This?

Corrosion is the degradation of an alloy caused by its exposure to the environment. Corrosion deterioration of metallic alloys exposed to the atmosphere or other adverse conditions is prevented using a variety of techniques.

An Overview of Post Irradiation Examination (PIE) Techniques

Due to the ever-increasing demand for energy, the demand for nuclear fuel has also increased, which has further created a significant increase in the requirement for post-irradiation examination (PIE) techniques.
