Action On Outcome (Grey = complete)Action 2.12 Approach to David Porter at Oxford University to discuss GIM modelling in the context of structural power is still open. MRS happy to invite DP to Umeco to discuss this. ESG will contact him to arrange a visit.
ESG Complete – but awaiting response from David Porter
Action 3.10 Student projects are underway at Imperial. Please approach ESG if you are interested in being involved in these.
ICL/ALL Complete - Currently two UG projects underway looking at influence of curvature on structural power performance. One is making the U-section arms of the quadcopter from a baseline structural power material (PEGDGE + 10% IL). The other is making a model car body out of the material (Device B) in conjunction with Umeco and McLaren cars.
There are also two MSc projects which have just started. One is looking at alternative separator materials (in conjunction with McLaren) and the other is characterising the acoustic performance of our materials.

Action On Outcome (Grey = complete)Action 4.3 ESG and LA have met to collate and formulate the amended document and formalize changes. ESG is currently revising the document, which will be issued to Mr Bird in February to apply for an extension.
ICL/ALL Complete - Document has been issued to the EU with request for an extension. Mr Bird has been positive about the outcome, but no further information yet.
Action 4.5 JS and PJ have developed a plan to determine the effect of moisture on the electrical properties, including its monitoring and methods to extract effects of moisture from all data established on resins and laminates to date and in the future. The document will be included with the minutes and partners should provide comments.
JS/PJ/ALL Complete – document issued
Action 4.10 ACG to send a specification of the screening tests at ACG for crashworthiness to MW. The specification has now been sent to ICL, who are developing it further and will issue a revised specification.
ESG Complete – Sang will elaborate on this
Action 4.11 BAM sorting out the revised sample code
MW Complete – BAM will elaborate on this

Action On Outcome (Grey = complete)Action 4.12 VE have sent ICL and NANOCYL information on the size of materials needed to make battery cells from CNT-coated and CAG-coated fabrics. NANOCYL and ICL will then send materials to VE and LA for tests in WP6. Also LA is to provide the MWCNT coated CF-fabric to KTH for coin cell tests. Sicomp and ETC have started to produce and test some smaller cells for evaluation of electrical properties, currently working with small cells using sheets of 40x40 mm. For the electrical properties of the materials in a battery this is sufficient. VE mentioned that 150x150mm cells have been suggested, and are currently focusing on improvement of the production method and the electrical performance of the battery cells. VE said ETC can use 40x40 mm for evaluating the materials from a battery perspective. If successful ETC can investigate the possibility to scale up for mechanical testing.

Action On Outcome (Grey = complete)Action 4.15 SICOMP/ACG to press forward on development of small-scale demonstrators to be used by the partners at future events such as JEC in April 2012. TC and QF/SC should discuss to move this forward quickly.
SC/TC/QF Complete – presented at JEC, Swedish national exhibition and Imperial Festival events.
Action 5.2 ESG/SN/MW to investigate scope for characterising the acoustic response of the STORAGE materials.
ESG/SN/MW Complete – MSc student will be working on this at ICL
Action 5.3 Regarding electrical connection of the laminates, there was discussion that read-across from lightning strike protection on conventional composites in aerospace applications could be utilized.
ESG/MM/MW Still being explored – there are some parallels but nature of the electrical loading is different.
Action 5.4 GW and PC will provide contacts in the aerospace industry who have knowledge of lightning strike protection in aircraft.
GW/PC Complete
Action 5.5 ESG will proceed with the extension application.

Action On Outcome (Grey = complete)Action 5.6 Formulate a small test plan to investigate the effect of moisture on electrical and mechanical properties of the laminates, as an extension of Action 4.5. It is suggested this will utilize Device B, and use in-plane shear testing. It is recognized that electrical testing after preparation for mechanical testing can be challenging, so perhaps the ‘traveller’ approach could be utilised here.
ESG/SN/NS/
JS
Plan for controlling moisture, using travellers, has been devised, but
Action 5.7 There is a need to consider metalized film for bagging of laminates to avoid moisture ingress. TC has information on the supply of such a metalized film which he will send to NS.
TC Complete – now being used
Action 5.8 There was discussion regarding cutting of these materials (which will need to be done dry), and GW suggested cryogenic cutting could be a good approach, and would send further details of this.
GW

Action On Outcome (Grey = complete)Action 5.9 During the meeting there was some discussion regarding weave style of the laminates, and it was identified that Devices A and B will need to be remade using 5HS fabric rather than plain weave material.
QF/SC Complete, but maybe revised. 5HS was confirmed. However, an unexpected problem has arisen which we will discuss during WP4.
Action 5.10 SICOMP will consider Device G and advise as to the approach to be taken towards manufacture for mechanical testing.
LA/TC Complete
Action 5.11 The test plan for the partners has been drawn up; this will be agreed with the appropriate partners. However, INASCO’s testing work is unclear; a short presentation was sent to MW by Tasia Gkika. The issues of what can be measured by INASCO will be established by discussion with Tasia.
ESG/MW/TG
Action 5.12 The temperature range and humidity range still needs to be established, and therefore a specification will be compiled.

MW Complete – a test plan has been issued (D5.1)
Action 5.14 For manufacturing plenum cover parts TC needs some MTM57 UD prepreg, any carbon fibre, about 10 cm width about 20 lm. Umeco will look into this.
QF/SC/TC Complete
Action 5.15 TC will consider the Gantt and work description to integrate the additional intermediate demonstrators, and will send this to ESG.
LA/TC
Action 5.16 MH will look into a cost analysis (if these costings can be compared in generic terms without revealing industrially sensitive process costs information.)
MH
Action 5.17 Scope for a student project on separators to complement STORAGE, and also scope to characterise the impact of different separator thicknesses/stiffnesses on the mechanical properties (both elastic and delamination).
ESG/SN Complete – student project currently underway to characterise this
