SAMPE Boston Chapter & MITO Material Solutions Support UMass Lowell’s Joint SAMPE Student Chapter – Composites Lab Seminar

On Wednesday, 13th November 2024, @University of Massachusetts Lowell SAMPE Student Chapter & Composites Lab jointly hosted a meeting & lunch seminar on graphene materials technology.  The seminar was presented by @Ashley Hart of @MITO Material Solutions (https://mitomaterials.com/), of Indianapolis, IN.  Dr. Hart is an expert in nanotechnology materials and applications.  MITO is a leading supplier of functionalized graphene particles and dispersions.  Graphene materials are used in a variety of processes, including pultrusion, injection molding, thermoset & thermoplastic prepreg, & additive manufacturing.  Graphene additives have been shown to increase material strength & modulus, modify damping and acoustic properties, and increase electrical & thermal conductivity, among other attributes.

The @SAMPE Boston Chapter (https://www.bostonsampe.org/) was proud to help support the SAMPE Student Chapter and the joint seminar at UMass Lowell.  It is hoped that the seminar helped spark the interest in a few “nanotechnology” materials engineers of the future!  It was a great opportunity for all in attendance to learn more about the exciting world of graphene materials, and their properties, processes & applications.  A special thanks to @Patrick Drane, @Davide Masato, & @Matthew Drew for hosting the seminar and meeting. @Michael Novak, SAMPE Boston Chair and @Michael Buck, SAMPE Boston Student Liaison represented the SAMPE Boston Chapter at the seminar & Meeting.
