Abstract:This report is the departments first report on current and planned research and technology efforts in advanced materials. The report was published in support of the Administration's initiative to establish an integrated program of research designed to enhance the performance and longevity of the nations transportation infrastructure. It is intended to provide DOT's customers and prospective research partners with a consolidated report of materials-related research projects. The report highlights opportunities for joint research and near-term applications of advanced materials technologies. The report discusses the departments research efforts in two major areas: 1) Advanced materials research for transportation infrastructure applications, such as the use of solid waste materials in highway construction, or the development of high performance concrete for bridge construction, and 2) Advanced materials-related research for vehicles and other applications, such as the use of composite materials to construct lighter-weight and stronger containers to transport hazardous materials, or the use of new inspection procedures to determine the structural integrity of aircraft.
