The University of Houston received a $352,284 project grant award from the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research on October 1, 2021 to support development of a high-resolution aerosol jet printing system for soft smart skins through September 30, 2022. The grant was awarded under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300), which supports research with potential to improve naval operations and train researchers. Specifically, the University will leverage the funding to develop an advanced aerosol jet printing technique to produce soft, flexible skins with embedded sensors for naval applications such as conformal ship hull sensors or wearable electronics for sailors. The award aligns with the program's goal of stimulating innovative research with potential to enhance naval capabilities.
