This chapter gives an overview of Quickstep processing method, which is relatively a new technique for manufacturing composites. In this chapter, different aspects of Quickstep processing are highlighted. Since Quickstep processing is an Out-Of-Autoclave (OOA) technique, a brief description of autoclave processing is provided. Basic principle of Quickstep processing and functionality of typical Quickstep plant are also explained. Due to changed chemo-rheology, methodology for cure optimization of different prepregs and composites are discussed with examples. This chapter also includes the literature survey of different aerospace materials being investigated in Quickstep, the potential of new materials development for this process, the melding technique, in service capabilities of Quickstep cured samples and journey of Quickstep from patent to commercialization. Although the technique is commercialized now, few suggestions in the end are provided for the improvement of process.

The process of new materials development traditionally employs science and engineering based inquiry in the initial phases. This paper explores how product design can help determine the feasibility of new materials for commercial application earlier and provide benefits of reduced timeframes, cost and risk factors. It discusses a case study of new materials development based on Microwave Modified Timber Technology, set in the context of an Australian Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) for Wood Innovations. The study supports benefits in early integration of product design research into new materials development processes.

AbstractThe necessity of materials development which is not limited to materials that can achieve their theoretical limits, but makes it possible to raise theoretical limits by changing the fundamental underlying physics and chemistry while keep the fabrication cost to a minimum is crucial. Materials nanotechnologies based on chemical fabrication approaches is one of the immediate answer to the enormous need for cost-effective new materials for energy, environment, and health. R&D exploiting chemical nanoscience and nanotechnology has the greatest potential to efficiently contribute to such challenging goals. Indeed, the creation of new materials with higher performance and improved stability achieved by atomic, molecular and nanostructural design and control using unique nanoscale phenomena such as quantum confinements is the key. A synthesis involving the aqueous condensation of metal ions from solutions of metal salts for the low-cost fabrication of engineered arrays consisting of oriented nanorods of metal oxides orientations onto various substrates as well as the ability to control the surface acidity of quantum dots from acidic to neutral to basic by size effect are presented.
