MSU researchers developed a process to create more resilient circuitry, which they demonstrated by creating a silver Spartan helmet. The circuit was designed by Jane Manfredi, an assistant professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine. Credit: Acta Materialia Inc./Elsevier
Abstract:
Tomorrow s cutting-edge technology will need electronics that can tolerate extreme conditions. That s why a group of researchers led by Michigan State University s Jason Nicholas is building stronger circuits today.
A silver lining for extreme electronics
East Lansing, MI | Posted on April 30th, 2021
Nicholas and his team have developed more heat resilient silver circuitry with an assist from nickel. The team described the work, which was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Program, on April 15 in the journal Scripta Materialia.

Home > Press > Expanding the freedom of design: powder coating on FRP thanks to conductive gelcoats with graphene nanotubes
Abstract:
New conductive gelcoats with graphene nanotubes as a protecting layer on top of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) grant engineers and designers the ability to produce special surfaces and uniformly coat all final parts regardless of their conductive and non-conductive nature. Ease of processing, flexibility in color effects, chemical resistance and zero emissions powder coating on gelcoats offers a viable alternative to liquid painting of FRP parts in automotive, marine, aerospace, and even sanitary applications.

Proposed hierarchical deformation mechanism paradigm for the equi- atomic CrCoNi-based HEAs subjected to increasing degrees of deformation. Elastic deformation, dislocation-mediated plasticity, twinning-induced plasticity, TRIP, and finally solid-state amorphization. Triggering the next mechanism re- quires the generation of additional defects, i.e., dislocations and/or point defects (vacancies). These multiple mechanisms can interact, leading to a synergy of strengthening processes and a resulting highly complex microstructure.
