Marine Organic Composites Laboratories

The Marine Organic Composites Laboratories are dedicated to all aspects of composites from basic research into the components of their manufacture, their physical and mechanical properties, and prototype construction and evaluation. This includes: a large prototype production and test area; filament winder (control system capability with six-degrees of freedom to wind complex parts); autoclave (capable of processing parts up to 3 feet by 6 feet at temperatures up to 950 degrees F and pressures of 200 psi); and polymer synthesis labs.
