About this award
The Office of Naval Research awarded a $9.821 million definitive contract to the University of Delaware for development of highly aligned short fiber IM7/PEKK thermoplastic composite materials and prepreg formulations on September 13, 2022, under cost-no-fee pricing with no set-aside.
The originating solicitation, posted October 1, 2021 and closed September 30, 2022, calls for a 36-month collaborative effort to develop 0-degree aligned TuFF thermoplastic composite material, optimize PEKK formulations to minimize crystallization effects, characterize mechanical properties, and demonstrate part manufacturing at aerospace-quality production rates with automotive-like cycle times. Work encompasses material and part selection, process development and trials, mechanical characterization, tape placement assessment, and fabrication of demonstrator parts through stretch forming and other advanced processes.
Place of performance is Newark, Delaware. The contract's ultimate completion date is June 14, 2026. Boeing serves as a primary subcontractor responsible for part selection, process trials, and aerospace manufacturing equivalency input across three phases. Advanced Thermoplastic Composites LLC (ATC Manufacturing) provides stretch forming process capability development, tooling design, manufacturing trials, and repeatability testing. Arkema Inc. supports PEKK material forms development and crystallization kinetics optimization. The collaboration targets production of complex geometry small parts meeting aerospace quality standards at significantly accelerated manufacturing rates.
