Biography
Matik is currently pursuing his PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology, where he also received his B.S. in Aerospace Engineering in 2023. Studying under Dr. K. Chandrashekhara, Matik's field of research includes additive, traditional, and PIP manufacturing of thermoplastic, thermoset, and ceramic matrix composites. In his undergrad Matik worked for Spirit AeroSystems in 2022 exploring applications of Al2O3/Al2O3 composites, and then again in 2023 as a design engineer. Matik is a Kummer I&E doctoral fellow and primarily works with GE on ultra-high temperature ceramic matrix composites.

Abstract:
This project explores additive manufacturing of carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites using Composite Based Additive Manufacturing process. The objective of this work is to additively manufacture Carbon/PEEK and Carbon/Nylon 12 thermoplastic composites and then to evaluate performance of the resultant materials. Compression, tension, flexural and impact test were performed to characterize mechanical properties of the additively manufactured Carbon/PEEK and Carbon/Nylon 12 composites. From experimental testing Carbon/PEEK outperformed Carbon/Nylon for all the mechanical tests conducted.
