Advaced Power and Thermal Research Lab
Air Force Research Laboratory will cut the ribbon for the new Advanced Power and Thermal Research Lab on December 7, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. The 53,000 square foot, multi-laboratory facility is devoted to fundamental and applied energy, power, and thermal research efforts. (U.S. Air Force Photo)
Chemical vapor deposition-coated nonwovens. (AFRL Image)
Chemical vapor deposition-coated nonwoven composites, which are used for electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding. Coated nonwovens are as light and conductive as carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets, and cost only a fraction of the price. This SIBR project was undertaken by AFRL and Conductive Composites Company.
