This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $237,916 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2025. The funding will support research and training to establish a framework for the hierarchical assembly of battery materials using acoustic fields. Specifically, the awardee will elucidate structure-property relationships of nanoparticle networks in materials fabricated through field-assisted colloidal assembly. Additionally, the award will establish a sustainable long-term research collaboration with the University of California, Santa Barbara, including developing a new undergraduate course in additive manufacturing and initiating student exchange programs between the institutions. The project aims to advance the additive manufacture of composite materials with programmed transport properties through controlling microstructure across length scales. Outcomes may enable scalable assembly of composites with tailored material performance.
