Brief introduction:
Cooperation intention
Seeking industrial partners of all sizes in the fields of aircraft manufacturing, wind power generation, automobile industry, ship manufacturing for rights, licensing agreements, research cooperation agreements or transfer of know-how.
If the industrial partner intends to further develop the technology in-house for commercialization, a licensing agreement (or rights transfer where there is an interest) is offered, supported by the university through the transfer of know-how. The universities are also open to discussing research collaboration agreements with industrial partners to further jointly develop prototype technologies and to higher technology levels.

Project introduction
A German university has developed an aluminum-reinforced fiber composite that increases tensile and shear strength, embedment strength, and residual load capacity after impact failure, and can be used in aircraft manufacturing, wind power generation, the automobile industry or ship manufacturing.
The laminate of the invention realizes the strong adhesion of aluminum and fiber composites by using nanoscale engraving to construct the surface of aluminum layer. The aluminum anchorage structure is surrounded by the matrix material of the fiber composite material, and the aluminum is embedded into the matrix of the fiber composite material to form a mechanically rigid laminate without mechanical bonding, which can prevent the laminate from delamination or complete destruction.
In addition, defects such as delamination can be monitored on-site without the need for additional sensors by conventional capacity measurements between the metal layer and the matrix.
Technical advantages
Compared to existing solutions, the aluminum-reinforced fiber composite has the following advantages:
Increase the tensile strength and shear strength;
Improve the embedding strength;
Increase the residual load capacity after impact failure;
Strong adhesion: metallic aluminum and composite fiber materials (a significant improvement over prior art, where shedding of the fiber from the matrix is the cause of failure);
It can realize the spot detection of the stratified defect.
