Latest Patents

Guell is credited with 1 patent: “Anisotropic Fiber Alignment in Composite Structures.” The invention describes forming high-strength composite structures by orienting fibers to create controlled anisotropic properties. Fibers suspended at non-dilute concentrations in a selected medium are aligned by moving an axially spaced array of elements in the desired direction. The array elements are generally perpendicular to the intended fiber orientation. For ceramic materials, the suspension may also contain sphere-like particles.

Career Highlights

The patent highlights Guell’s work on methods for controlling fiber orientation in composite structures. By enabling alignment within concentrated suspensions, the approach is designed to help produce materials with tailored directional properties.
