| Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Carbon and Composites Group develops and transitions innovative science and technology impacting U.S. energy security. Key innovation thrusts include: polymeric and carbon fiber manufacturing; rheology of reinforced polymers and their process engineering; reactive extrusion; polymer synthesis and modifications; multi-functional composites and sensors; multi-material composites; molecular dynamics and DFT-based predictive simulations of materials; bench-scale composite prototyping; interactions of polymers―gaseous fluid systems and barrier properties of polymers; and value-added sustainable materials/composites from domestic and industrial waste/byproducts. Comprehensive capabilities include modeling-based materials design; fiber spinning and thermochemical processing of fibers; thermal, rheological, mechanical, and structural characterization of materials; and early-stage development, evaluation, and transition of affordable materials and manufacturing technologies.
On-going work performed within the ARPA-E REPAIR program has resulted in the development of a deposition device that coats the inside of a 12-inch diameter steel pipe with a thermoset to renew the structural integrity of aging gas pipelines. This deposition technology could be further developed and utilized to create conduits during the boring process. |
