| Abstract Scope |
In the past two decades, a wide variety of CCAs have been developed as evidenced by the doubling of CCA publications each year since discovery. In some systems, constituents not typically mixed in conventional alloys can pose new challenges to fabrication of these CCAs. To date, few processing techniques have been developed for the industrial fabrication of CCAs. Rather, conventional laboratory scale processing techniques have enabled exploration of CCA compositions. In this study, the grand challenges to industrial production of CCAs, such as impurity element reactions, miscibility of dissimilar elements, sustainable constituent element sources, and properties of CCAs in the molten state are outlined. Possible solutions to these grand challenges are discussed in context of the University of California, Irvine Center for Complex and Active Materials (CCAM) where efforts are focused on leveraging collaborations across metallurgy, computational modeling, and high-resolution microscopy to study interfaces and atomistic phenomena in CCAs. |
