About
Professor Sarah Wolff is associated with the Department of Integrated Systems Engineering at Ohio State University. Her research and teaching focus on Manufacturing Composites and Nanocomposites, involving collaboration with Professors Jose M. Castro and Jim Lee. Her work has contributed to the development of improved composite materials and thin nanocomposite films or nano papers. She investigates the processability versus performance of lightweight composite materials, particularly through the incorporation of carbon nanoparticles such as carbon nanofibers (CNF) to enhance mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymeric composites. Her research emphasizes developing methods to balance mechanical properties with processability, including new techniques for nanoparticle incorporation and flow simulation to optimize manufacturing strategies. Additionally, she works on surface functionalization to produce more stable nanopapers with increased tensile strength and conductivity, measuring permeability as an indicator of impregnation ease.
