About the Project
USQ has recently been awarded AU$3M CRC-P grant to develop next generation composite pultrusion technology with industrial partners Wagners CFT and Allnex. The programme focuses on holistic engineering approach to optimise the existing composite pultrusion process for increased productivity and development of novel value-added products such as, fire retardant civil structures to be used in rail and pedestrian bridge, as well as emerging oil & gas and transport industry.
The project will sponsor multiple full PHD scholarships in the following research topics
• Developing novel resin with low shrinkage additive, fire retardant, and nano fillers for multifunctionality, with disposal dieletric DEA sensors for pultrusion resin cure monitoring.
