In January 2025 as part of the COMP-ECO project at the Warsaw University of Technology Piotr Mądry successfully defended his master's thesis. His research focused on polymeric sandwich-structured composites with 3D-printed nanocomposite carbon sensors for active thermography. The research aimed to improve damage detection efficiency while preserving the mechanical integrity of the composites.
Using cutting-edge techniques for manufacturing composite structures as well as advanced testing methods such as ultrasound, computer tomography and active thermography, the study achieved highly repeatable results. The work was carried out in cooperation with TU Dresden and the Air Force Institute of Technology, demonstrating the potential of nanocomposite sensors for real-time structural monitoring.
The implementation of this work not only confirmed the effectiveness of 3D-printed nanocomposite sensors, but also strengthened the strategic partnership between academia, industry and research institutions within the COMP-ECO project. The research results are a significant contribution to the development of the Mazovian composite ecosystem, increasing its competitiveness and integration with European leaders in the field of advanced materials technologies. Thanks to the COMP-ECO project, Piotr Mądry had the opportunity to complete an internship at TU Dresden, where he conducted research for his master's thesis and participated in workshops on polymer composite testing and writing scientific publications.
