The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees received a $449,971 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) on August 1, 2026, with completion targeted for July 31, 2029. The award funds fundamental research to develop reusable salt-based binder systems for sustainable ceramic additive manufacturing. The project will investigate coupled physicochemical mechanisms governing how concentrated salt solutions can generate green strength in ceramic powder beds through ionic transport, interparticle bridging, and controlled microstructure evolution during wetting and drying phases, while enabling molten-salt-assisted sintering pathways during thermal processing. This research aims to establish a scientific foundation that reduces reliance on proprietary organic binders and expands feedstock flexibility. The resulting knowledge and research outputs will support development of low-cost ceramic components including filters, heat exchangers, molds, and thermal management systems while strengthening domestic supply-chain resilience through more efficient use of industrial byproducts and waste streams. The project will deliver interdisciplinary training for graduate researchers at the intersection of mechanics, materials science, and advanced manufacturing, while promoting broader participation through outreach and sustained international research engagement. By demonstrating viable alternatives to conventional binder systems, this research addresses NSF Engineering's strategic priorities in innovation and manufacturing competitiveness.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
