Spinodal Metamaterials
Team Members: Nishita Anandan, Colin Wilson, Emily Nguyen
Funding Agency: PACCAR and UW RRF
Primary Goals: Understand how gradient shell architectures can be designed to resist fracture, especially under extreme environments like ultrahigh temperature or shock.
Broader Impacts: These will be used for more resilient coatings and thermal barriers to insulate in extreme environments and protect against mechanical damage. For example, these could be used in combustion engines and exhaust lines, as space shuttle tile shields and as the lining for jet engines.
