材料

Innovative, materials-based solutions that protect assets, people, and the environment. This team of chemists, materials scientists, and engineers has a long history of rapidly developing new coatings, nanoparticles, resins, textiles, membranes, and composites.

能力

  • 保护材料

    Durable, eco-friendly materials focused on protecting people and assets from harsh service environments. We offer critical protection of high-value assets through new coatings and surface treatments that enhance fluid repellency, abrasion resistance, corrosion protection, and self-healing capability. To help protect the Warfighter and others on the front lines of defense, our group develops advanced textiles that are antimicrobial, self-cleaning, decontaminating, or resistant to insect bites.

  • Gas Separation

    New methods for gas separation, chemical conversion, and plasma capabilities for a cleaner, more energy efficient future. Advanced salt (NaCl) processing enables profitable extraction of HCl. Our novel membrane technologies enable unrivaled performance for the separation of gases from mixed streams, including high selectivity for CO2, O2, NH3, and NO2. These gases are consumed or produced during many of the world’s largest chemical manufacturing and energy conversion processes, making separation of the gases a critical advancement towards improving energy efficiency and reducing costs.

  • 波尔ymer Composites

    Improvements to processes for production and repair of fiber reinforced composites, and enhanced properties for traditional composites through newly formulated functional resins and additives. Our engineering team developed a facile process for large scale patch repair of aerospace composites that dramatically reduces the tooling and man-hours required for completion while maintaining resin density. Luna’s materials chemists are making strides in the evolution of fiber reinforcement, functional resins, and additives to improve interlaminar shear strength, fracture toughness, increased strain-to-failure, and environmental resistance.

  • 波尔ymer Resins

    涂料，粘合剂，密封剂和添加剂，为材料系统带来增强的性能。新开发的树脂和添加剂通常是更完整的解决方案背后的关键技术，例如具有增强的耐用性和混凝土修复系统的透明装甲，其允许快速修复飞机跑道。联系Luna实验室讨论Luna在高分子体制剂中的专业知识如何有助于提升您的系统性能。

  • Signature Control

    New materials that can absorb, reflect, transmit, and control electromagnetic properties. Electromagnetic properties and material performance are tailored to balance practical requirements such as handling and production costs, form factor control, and environmental durability. A key focus for this group is the development of electromagnetic products for demanding aerospace specifications, including conductive structural adhesives, rapid-cure and highly conductive sealants, charge dissipating conformal coatings, EMI shielding composites, and high permeability elastomer sheets for antenna applications.
