Focus Areas
Industrial/Technical/Sports Materials
Create a poster to communicate research related to materials for technical and engineering applications.
Examples:
• advanced sporting equipment
• aircraft or automotive components
• architectural materials
• composites
• geo-synthetic materials
• industrial filters
• industrial and technical fabrics
• sports performance fabrics
Medical/Biomedical/Protective Materials and Devices
Create a poster explaining research in materials for use in hazardous or medical environments. Research may involve active and/or reactive materials.
Examples:
• artificial body implants
• chemical/biological protective garments
• protective medical gowns and masks
• reactive barrier membranes
