Efficient thermal management in polymers is essential for developing lightweight, high-strength materials with multifunctional capabilities.
The disclosure is directed to optimized fiber geometries for use in carbon fiber reinforced polymers with increased compressive strength per unit cost. The disclosed fiber geometries reduce the material processing costs as well as increase the compressive strength.
Currently available cast Al alloys are not suitable for various high-performance conductor applications, such as rotor, inverter, windings, busbar, heat exchangers/sinks, etc.
The invented alloys are a new family of Al-Mg alloys. This new family of Al-based alloys demonstrate an excellent ductility (10 ± 2 % elongation) despite the high content of impurities commonly observed in recycled aluminum.
A novel and cost-effective process for the activation of carbon fibers was established.

ORNL contributes to developing the concept of passive CO2 DAC by designing and testing a hybrid sorption system. This design aims to leverage the advantages of CO2 solubility and selectivity offered by materials with selective sorption of adsorbents.
Through the use of splicing methods, joining two different fiber types in the tow stage of the process enables great benefits to the strength of the material change.
The invention addresses the long-standing challenge of inorganic phase change materials use in buildings envelope and other applications by encapsulating them in a secondary sheath.
