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…

Good news! My article received enough citations to be a #topcitedarticle in its journal. Our paper on a structural battery and its multifunctional performance is the most cited paper in the journal.

Uğur is an Bioengineering PhD student whose company Unhindr is creating wearable robotic devices which help people with prosthetic limbs. Be inspired by Uğur in Engineers Making a Difference, out on 2 March! engineers-making-a-difference.com

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…

It was lovely to host these budding young engineers from South London last month. imperial.ac.uk/news/244292/ae…

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 have sad news - our close colleague Lorenzo Iannucci passed away on the 17th July 2023. Lorenzo did ground breaking work in aircraft structures, impact & dynamic response of composites. Lorenzo was a brilliant engineer and a pleasure to work with - he will be greatly missed.

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…

Imperial Aeronautics are hosting an industrial showcase on Structural Power Composites on 10th June at Royal Academy of Engineering Speakers include Leif Asp @Bismarck_PaCE buytickets.at/imperialcolleg…

Fantastic work from Leif’s team

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…
