Spectroscopy spotlights Smead Aerospace materials research
Research led by Maryam Shakiba is being highlighted in Spectroscopy.Ìý
The industry trade publication interviewed Shakiba and Santiago Marin about the journal article ." The work was co-authored by Shakiba, Marin, and Marwa Yacouti and published in Polymer Degradation and Stability.
Shakiba is an assistant professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the º£½ÇÉçÇø. She is an expert in computational mechanics as well as materials and composites under extreme conditions. Marin and Yacouti are PhD students in her laboratory.
The technical discussion breaks down their research to provide a predictive framework for understanding and forecasting long-term thermo-oxidative degradation in polyimides.Ìý
The work is important to developing accurate performance predictions for high-performance polymers used for aerospace and electronics in challenging environments.
