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.
