This research will develop a sensor compatible with the                    hostile environment of high temperature, pressure and abrasion                  inside a pultrusion die that will allow the state of the matrix                 material to be continuously monitored.  This capability does                    not currently exist.  Data from the sensor could be used by a                   smart control system to maintain product quality.  The approach                 will be to combine commercially available sensor electronics                    developed by Micromet Instruments for monitoring composite cure                 in less hostile environments with a castable ceramic substrate.                 The research will lead to the development of methods for                        transferring the conductive elements of the sensor to the                       surface of a mold, establish techniques for casting a                           protective ceramic backing, and test prototypes under                           controlled conditions.
