From page 27...
... In this program, DOE national laboratories, in cooperation with more than 100 companies, are working on a variety of material systems: metals, intermetallics' ceramics, nnivmers and comnnsites Since the polymers, establishment of the IOF Program, AIM has redirected much of its research to involve and coordinate it with IOF programs, especially research related to the aluminum, chemicals, forest products, glass, metalcasting, refineries, and steed industries. Research on high-temperature materials, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance are the key needs of these industries.

... Other successful projects by AIM include: refiactor~es for glass production; composite zeolite/amorphous membranes for hydrocarbon separation; countergravity casting; uniform-droplet processing; membranes for gas separation; and low-e coatings for window glass. All of these projects are characterized by strong interactions between national laboratories, universities, and industrial recipients of the material improvements.

... The most widely publicized application of CFCC materials is combuster liners in gas turbines that could increase engine efficiency by reducing the required amount of cooling air. The simultaneous reduction in burning temperature for a given turbine inlet temperature could also decrease emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide.

... The national laboratories are working with Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Company and Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation to develop and test thermal-barrier coatings for use on critical hot-section components of gas turbines. This is a relatively new project, and no final results were available from either company.
