Title:
Freeform printing of high-performance, multifunctional thermoset nanocomposites via frontal polymerization
Agreement Value:
$25,000.00
Agreement Date:
May 19, 2021 - Mar 31, 2023
Description:
In frontal polymerization, the enthalpy of polymerization of the monomer is employed to provide the energy for materials synthesis rather than requiring an external energy source. The goal of the proposed work is to develop a library of nanomaterials for tuning the rheological properties of frontally polymerizable resins to make them amenable to 3D printing processes while imparting multifunctional properties to the polymer.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
