Magnetic Composites (magRAM)

• Developed cost-effective robust alternatives for a flawed very expensive material
• Materials created established the state-of-the-art (SOA)
• New idea for tailoring the magnetic permeability promises to be a disruptive technology (a revolutionary semi-active magRAM)   

Dielectric Composites

• Pioneering R&D in nanotechnology
• In 1989, began a breakthrough study of the electromagnetic properties of Fibril™* (carbon nanotube) composites (two years before the “official” discovery of carbon nanotubes)

* Fibril is a trademark of Hyperion Catalysis

Plasmas

• New approaches to forming plasmas for various applications

Sol Gels

• Explored the use of sol gels as a lightweight, low dielectric matrix material for dielectric/magnetic composites (with Dr. James Bethin)
