Develop Next Generation Lithium-Ion Batteries with Novel High Energy Anode Architecture

Formulate and characterize a novel moderate temperature (upper-bound temperature = 650 degrees F) spray-applied polymeric, absorbing material for hot engine exhaust washed environments.

Develop replacement for high Volatile Organic Compound (VOC), chromium-containing polysulfide flexible aerospace primer.

Demonstrate bond-coat for environmental barrier coatings (EBC) on silicon carbide fiber-reinforced silicon carbide matrix composites (CMC) that can protect substrate in a combustion environment while maintaining 2700 degrees F at EBC-CMC interface.

Demonstrate new high transmittance protection technology for large-area, curved and complex-shaped visors and optics. This topic is focused on developing laser and HPM solutions other than dyes and dielectric reflective coatings currently in use.

Develop an ultra thin, flat lens that will focus light in the visible region, without the discontinuities imparted by a Fresnel lens

Design and develop thermal insulators containing thermal radiation inhibitors for reusable application at temperature exposures exceeding 1650K over one hour, and highest possible heat load configuration that is pertinent of hypersonic platforms.

Develop technology approaches to protect vehicle vision system day cameras from being damaged significantly by pulsed lasers with wavelengths in the visible spectrum.

The goal is to develop a semiconductor material that exhibits properties of high k dielectric constant over a wide operating temperature range, low leakage current, high breakdown voltage, and provide very low 1/f noise and RTS noise characteristics for Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC) capacitor implementation. In addition, the material should also be of good producibility, good reliability, and compatible with the current readout fabrication technology.
