Graduate Admissions

Developing New 3-D Printed Polymer Matrix Composites

Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are leading a new study to develop perovskite-polymer composites that can be 3-D printed for high-resolution pixelated radiation detectors and other devices, like detector arrays.

Associate professors Zhibin Yu and Tarik Dickens received a half million dollars grant to research radiation detectors and the challenges associated with processing and manufacturing these types of devices.
