The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $558,370 Project Grant to the University of Utah to conduct fundamental research into the use of mixed energized fields, such as electrical, magnetic, and ultrasound, in the freeze casting advanced manufacturing process. The research aims to develop a constitutive theory to predict the final structure and properties of tailored, porous materials fabricated using this mixed energized field freeze casting technique. The 3-year project will also provide research and educational opportunities for women and underrepresented groups in STEM fields. The research output from this grant is expected to enable the creation of tailored, porous materials with improved properties for various applications, including biomedical, energy, semiconductor, and high-strength lightweight composites.
