Kenneth H. Sandhage's research focuses on developing and testing advanced ceramic and metal-ceramic composite materials that can withstand extreme heat, corrosive molten salts, and other harsh chemical environments. Much of this work supports high-temperature energy technologies such as concentrated solar power systems, heat exchangers, and thermal energy storage, while related projects explore biomedical implant coatings and reaction-based material synthesis methods. The work combines materials chemistry, corrosion science, and manufacturing techniques like additive manufacturing and reactive melt infiltration.
Publication output has remained relatively steady but modest over the past decade, with a peak in 2022 followed by a slight slowing in more recent years.
