AFRL-led patches make ‘sense’ of sweat
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio - A collaborative effort between the Air Force Research Laboratory and industry partners through the Nano-Bio Manufacturing Consortium has led to the development of next-generation wearable patches that can detect electrolyte levels present in human sweat. Using novel AFRL-developed sensor materials and microfluidic technology, the patches can measure sodium and potassium levels present in sweat and transmit this information wirelessly for scientific analysis. The patches will augment research on hydration with the goal of improving human performance in heat or high-stress conditions. (Courtesy photo/GE Global Research)

Anthony Walker holds a chocolate bar in honor of his dad, Herschel L. Walker. Herschel was an Army Air Corps Capt., and a B-24 Liberator pilot during World War II. He also spent time in a Nazi prisoner of war camp. After being liberated from the POW camp he reportedly purchased and ate 15 chocolate bars. He was a lifetime resident of Germantown, Ohio, and was celebrated when a street was renamed in his honor during a ceremony in his hometown April 16, 2018. (U.S. Air Force photo by Jim Varhegyi)

New corrosion evaluation system makes “sense” for Air Force
In conjunction with Luna, Inc. and engineers at the Air Force Corrosion Prevention and Control Office, researchers at the Air Force Research Laboratory have developed a new corrosion and coating evaluation system, CorRES, that can measure the ability of coatings to protect aircraft structures by using sensor panels that measure localized changes during corrosion testing. Unlike conventional coating tests that rely on an expert’s visual evaluation of a test panel at the conclusion of a test cycle, the CorRES takes measurements throughout a coating’s test and transmits data in real-time to a base station for evaluation. Ultimately, the test will reduce costs associated with coating materials development and implementation through better data and understanding. (Courtesy photo)

AFRL researchers push limits in high-temperature, polymer additive manufacturing
Researchers at the Air Force Research Laboratory have demonstrated the ability to additively manufacture high temperature polymer composites for use in extreme environments. The material, made with carbon fiber infused polymer resin and selective laser sintering, has potential use in engine components and on the leading and tail edges of fighter jets in the future.
