Three-dimensional hybrid composites for repair and recycling PhD

Cranfield University School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing (SATM)
This PhD research opportunity focuses on the development of self-healing three-dimensional metal-composite hybrid materials. These will use through-thickness reinforcement to embed metallic elements, acting as a means of targeted heat introduction, to activate re-processable matrices like thermoplastics or vitrimers.
