Syracuse University received a $300,070 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded September 1, 2026, with completion targeted for August 31, 2029. This collaborative research project, conducted at the University's Syracuse, NY campus through the Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation, focuses on advancing the mechanics of confined interfaces in hierarchical ceramic composites designed for extreme operational environments. The research establishes a scientific foundation for interface engineering through geometric confinement and hierarchical reinforcement strategies, seeking to create robust load-transfer mechanisms that enhance strength, toughness, and damage tolerance without relying solely on interfacial chemistry modifications. The project delivers fundamental research and knowledge products addressing critical material performance challenges in aerospace propulsion, hypersonic flight, fusion energy systems, and high-temperature industrial infrastructure. By exploiting nanoscale steric interactions and mechanically confined interfaces, the research aims to develop next-generation ceramic composite materials with improved durability and resilience. Broader impacts include support for more efficient high-temperature systems, safer aerospace and energy technologies, enhanced domestic advanced-manufacturing capabilities, and interdisciplinary educational opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in mechanics, materials science, and nanotechnology.Federal Grant Award Summary
