Synthesis and Characterization of Advanced Materials

Abstract : GEO-CENTERS, INC. programs in support of the Naval Research Laboratory Materials Chemistry Branch have addressed the development, characterization, and improvement of a variety of materials of interest to the Navy. A major program was directed to investigations of composite sonar dome structures and materials, dome failures and nondestructive evaluation. Also in support of sonar dome programs, computer database modernization and web site development tasks were accomplished. GEO-CENTERS also conducted research in the area of polymer synthesis and characterization and provided research and documentation support to the Office of naval Research ocean, atmosphere, and space programs.
