Spring 2018 – Structural Energy and Power

Affiliations:
Project Leader: Anish Patel
agpatel@tamu.edu
Chemical Engineering
Faculty Mentor: Jodie L. Lutkenhaus, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
TBD
Team Size:
3 (Team Full)
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Opportunities include learning new laboratory techniques and gaining knowledge in areas such as thin film fabrication, energy storage, materials characterization, and more. Also, there is an opportunity to be an author on publications resulting from work done through the undergraduate project.
Team Needs:
Preferred skills/knowledge (not required): basic chemistry knowledge, motivation to conduct scientific research, good communication skills, and basic laboratory experience Required skills/knowledge: strong commitment to safe laboratory practices
Description:
Structural energy and power materials can simultaneously dissipate energy and bear a load. These materials can have a significant impact on flexible/wearable electronics, battery safety, structural energy storage devices, etc. The goal of this project is to explore multifunctional composite materials that can act as both a structural support and an energy storage device. The student will characterize the formation of polymer nanostructures to be used in multifunctional composites as well as evaluate the performance of multifunctional composite films for use in batteries.
