This $299,807 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech). The project aims to advance the understanding of the process-structure-property relationship of multifunctional mechano-luminescence-optoelectronic (MLO) fibers that can serve as self-powered strain sensors and mechanical-to-electrical energy harvesters for applications in health monitoring, human-machine interaction, and space exploration. The work will involve collaborating with NASA Ames Research Center to characterize the mechano-optoelectronic and mechano-luminescent properties of the MLO fiber components, as well as developing nano-/micro-structures to optimize their performance. The project will also create educational and research opportunities for underrepresented STEM students at New Mexico Tech. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
