Abstract Scope |
From the the ocean, to the Arctic, to outer space, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) researchers create materials that enable new capabilities in extreme environments. Leveraging advanced chemistry, materials science and computational tools across a variety of areas, we are inventing the future of research in extreme materials, materials design, synthesis and manufacturing, materials characterization, and multifunctional materials. This talk will provide an overview of JHU/APL’s materials research, which targets solutions for mission-driven technical challenges, creating materials that enable new capabilities for extreme environments. Specific topics will include the development of tailored additively manufactured alloys that mitigate corrosion, novel coatings that prevent icing in extreme cold, and thermal protection coatings that enhance survivability during hypersonic flight. |
