About this award

Wichita State University was awarded a $388,502 cooperative agreement on July 15, 2022, to develop additive manufacturing techniques for advanced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) suitable for multifunctional aerospace applications. Under this civilian-funded research initiative, WSU will investigate how synthesis parameters impact the additive manufacturing process and develop scalable techniques for fabricating complex structural topologies with internal architected lattices. The project addresses a critical gap in current ceramic fabrication methods, which rely on complex molds and tooling that limit production of intricate geometries such as helical conformal channels. By combining additive manufacturing with advanced ceramics, the research aims to produce lightweight, chemically inert, high-strength components with unique multifunctional properties—particularly thermal, mechanical, and acoustical performance—that are of significant interest to NASA and U.S. industry.

The three-year project, scheduled for completion on March 25, 2025, is organized around three collaborative tasks: fabrication of reinforcement materials with controllable structure and tunable properties; development of additive manufacturing and pyrolysis mechanisms suitable for reinforced silicon carbide composites; and evaluation of the multifunctional properties of the fabricated materials. This award leverages Wichita State University's established expertise through its Office of Research and Sponsored Programs and its National Institute for Aviation Research, positioning the university to deliver the advanced materials science and aerospace engineering research capabilities required for this innovation initiative. No set-aside designation was used for this contract.
