Researcher seeks to make stronger materials with composites
We extract iron ore from the ground, treat it, convert it to steel and then use it in many applications that demand its strength, rigidity and durability. But as with all engineers, Allison Beese, assistant professor or Materials Science and Engineering wants to make a better materials with the use of composites.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngupmcXm0uY
