Triggerable adhesives with infinite working life for large area application
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) entered a User Proposal with Perseus Materials in Knoxville, TN. By reinventing how composites are made, we unlock a new era of structural materials: faster to produce, easier to assemble, and strong enough for real-world scale. Perseus Materials was targeting the wind turbine industry to make large adhesive joints for composite turbine blades without the limitations of cure time and room temperature cure without the needs to have work times. The triggerable aspect would increase manufacturing rates for composite wind turbine blades.
