Center for Composite Materials - University of Delaware

Summer Symposium

This annual event showcases the dedication and innovative research conducted by our interns, ranging from high school to graduate students.

Cutting-Edge Research & Expertise

UD-CCM has been on the forefront of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for over 15 years, modeling the behavior of polymers and composites at the atomistic scale.

UD-CCM and NASA Johnson Space Center

are working together to develop components of the next-generation Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit (xEMU) spacesuit.
