The technology will offer supportless DIW of complex structures using vinyl ester resin, facilitated by multidirectional 6 axis printing.
Efficient thermal management in polymers is essential for developing lightweight, high-strength materials with multifunctional capabilities.
The disclosure is directed to optimized fiber geometries for use in carbon fiber reinforced polymers with increased compressive strength per unit cost. The disclosed fiber geometries reduce the material processing costs as well as increase the compressive strength.
The technologies provide additively manufactured thermal protection system.
A novel and cost-effective process for the activation of carbon fibers was established.

Reflective and emissive surfaces are designed with heat retention as opposed to the current state of the art oven and furnaces which use non-reflective surfaces. Heat is absorbed and transferred to the exterior of the heated appliances.
This invention focuses on improving the ceramic yield of preceramic polymers by tuning the crosslinking process that occurs during vat photopolymerization (VP).
The use of biomass fiber reinforcement for polymer composite applications, like those in buildings or automotive, has expanded rapidly due to the low cost, high stiffness, and inherent renewability of these materials. Biomass are commonly disposed of as waste.
ORNL contributes to developing the concept of passive CO2 DAC by designing and testing a hybrid sorption system. This design aims to leverage the advantages of CO2 solubility and selectivity offered by materials with selective sorption of adsorbents.
Using all polymer formulations, the PIP densification is improved almost 70% over traditional preceramic polymers and PIP material leading to cost and times saving for densifying ceramic composites made from powder or fibers.
