The growing demand for robust, multifunctional materials continues to drive the development of new biomimetic composites. Polymer matrix composites are prime candidates for these intelligent materials because of their high specific strength and stiffness combined with the ability to tailor their material properties for the intended applications.

The research in the Multifunctional Materials Lab in the Department of Aerospace Engineering focuses on the development and characterization of novel multifunctional materials for structural applications. Our research combines both experimental and numerical approaches to create the next generation of smart materials.
