Radiation Shielding

CPS is developing advanced composite radiation shielding to support the transportation of nuclear microreactors (NMRs) and their operation, as well as other applications related to both small modular reactors (SMRs) and larger nuclear facilities. By combining high-density gamma shielding constituents and low-density neutron absorbers in an aluminum matrix, CPS creates customizable radiation shielding composites in a single envelope.

Fiber Reinforced Sheets and Cylinders

Extremely strong and stiff, fiber-reinforced MMCs enable lightweighting of structural components in diverse defense, automotive, energy, and aerospace applications. These materials are ideally suited for any system requiring weight reduction, high strength, high temperature operation, or thermal insulation.
