Our paper on structural power composites I future aircraft is our: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

Phones as thin as credit cards! If you want to help us realise this, we have two PhD studentships available on structural power composites: one on structural batteries and the other on device encapsulation and current collection. The Composites Centre Imperial jobs.ac.uk/job/CXK595/two…

📢 Get ready to introduce your students to Engineers Making a Difference. With the help of Gatsby Education, every state secondary school in the UK will receive a free school kit containing two copies of the book Engineers Making a Difference 📚 #ASEChat

After 2 years of scruitisining the literature, our structural supercap review paper is out. We've generated multifunctional performance plots, giving an insight into the best strategies for device development. Royal Academy of Engineering Imperial Aeronautics doi.org/10.1016/j.comp…

We've published our paper on using silica aerogel (SAG) to partially fill the matrix space in GF composites. We feel SAG offers a promising route to address the 'holy grail' of enhanced compression performance of composite laminates NextCOMP doi.org/10.1016/j.coco…

We've just had an article published in Reinforced Plastics on structural power. We've set out some of the critical scientific and engineering issues, and conclude with our aspirations for this emerging technology. doi.org/10.12968/S0034…

🚀 Ready for takeoff! We recently hosted a school visit in showcasing university life at Imperial College London and our world-leading research. We’re confident that the future of aeronautics is in good hands with the bright minds from The Norwood School Official 🤝 imperial.ac.uk/news/244292/ae…

It was wonderful to host these budding engineers from South London last month

Great catching up with Leif Asp at JEC Group this week. I bumped into a couple people I hadn't since I left QinetiQ 20 years ago!

See and hear about our structural power demonstrator in Popular Mechanics with Leif Asp providing valuable insights into the future of this technology. Imperial Aeronautics Royal Academy of Engineering popularmechanics.com/flight/airline…

We still have two PhD studentships available on structural power composites: one on structural batteries and the other on device encapsulation and current collection. Help us achieve phones as thin as credit cards! The Composites Centre Imperial jobs.ac.uk/job/CZS772/two…

We're going to be at Great Exhibition Road Festival 🤩 Join us in South Kensington on 17-18 June for a weekend of free events and activities for all ages to celebrate the power of awe and wonder to spark innovation in science and the arts 💫 Register now 👉 exrdfestival.com

I'll be presenting Structural power composites - the route to more electric aircraft at Brahmal Vasudevan Institute for Sustainable Aviation Seminar Series on 06 Oct cassyni.com/events/TdSbrjR…

I managed to get a good word in on composites when I was asked to comment by the Financial Times about the Airbus A350 fire in Japan. 😊 ft.com/content/f09031…

✈️ Our Research Showcase is back! We'll be presenting leading research from across the Department via a poster display, keynote speech and expert panels on topics aligned to net zero flight and data-centric engineering. ✏️ 4 Sept, 1pm to 6pm 🏢 Huxley buytickets.at/imperialcolleg…

Nice news article reporting on our recent results on an all-fibre structural battery. interest.co.nz/technology/129…

Our accepted manuscript on the all-carbon fibre structural battery is now available in Advanced Materials. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

This is groundbreaking step forward for structural power composites

See below our paper on the electrical performance of structural electrodes - a critical issue for structural supercapacitors. But this also has given insights into the differences in electrical resistance of conventional and spread-tow CF weaves. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
